Since my first attempt ( http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/74144-old-stuff-where-to-go/ ) didn't yield much help, I thought that I'd try again to find a decent place to help me find out the value of and inspect some old stuff.

 

I'm willing to travel to eastern PA also.

 

Thanks!

Aw crap. Wrong section. Mods please move to general firearms.

You might get more for them on GunBroker.com

 

Set a minimum for each and list them w/ reserve on GunBroker, just have the buyer send a copy of dealers FFL w/ payment and ship it UPS ground to them (w/ copy of NJ DL).

 

That's the only suggestion I have. Good luck!

Thanks for the move, Mods and thanks for the feedback, Carcano. I'm not necessarily interested in doing the online thing, but really need to establish a value for each item potentially for sale.

What I would do is check the closed (ended)  auction on GunBroker and see if any in similar condition have sold and what they sold for so someone doesn't low ball you.

Turns out that the oldest piece is a Whitney-Remington rolling block .22 caliber. I don't know if it's a type 1 or 2. All indicators lead me to believe type 2 as a close serial number discovered online identifies it as a type 2.

 

Besides A.F. Boyer, is there anyone else in eastern PA or NJ to take it to to get it checked along with a few other items? Also, should I expect a "bench fee" or similar charge? I've got some time on my hands this week.

could try in here http://oldguns.net/cat_fa_antique_hand.htm

I'd give Gregg Dixon a call at Dixon Muzzleloading Shop in Kempton, PA (Exit #40 off Rt. 78, 11 miles due east of Cabela's).  If he can't help he'll know someone who can.  Are you sure that's a .22, because it looks to me like it's a .32 Short rimfire?

It's clearly a .22 as it's marked on the underside of the barrel. .32 was an option on this model, from what I can find.
