I am sure it is very clear to you, on my end the whole picture is blurry, it could be the system from your posting to me receiving it.

The Carrington and Company circa 1888-1889 ( founded by John Bodman Carrington ) antique Brand Warmer Presentation item, in Sterling Silver Ivory Handle is valued at $700.00-750.00.

If you have any questions about this please feel free asking.

Can you suggest where I might sell it?
Expert:  Glenda B. Appraiser replied 8 days ago.

Facebook Marketplace is how most people post things for sale locally. Here are other some other local places you can sell from ( the buyer picks up from you ) NextDoor.com, Webstore.com, Varagesale.com, Offerup.com. There is also craigslist locally which is free.

.

There are also sites like Mercari.com, Wanelo.com, Poshmark.com, Bonanza.com, Pamono.com.

. Etsy is a great site as is Chairish and EBTH.

. These are good auction sites to choose from invaluable.com, liveauctioneers.com, or auctionzip.com, and search their directory for an auction house near you and consign to them.

. Other great sites are, GoAntiques.com, Truegether.com.

Ebay is a great option. It does reach a lot of people, if you do decide to try Ebay, I recommend setting reserves.( the lowest price you would take for this )
