Q: I have a cast-iron doorstop that has been in my family for at least three generations. It is a rabbit dressed in top hat and tails. The item is in fairly good condition. — Beth, Amarillo, Texas

A: Your doorstop was probably manufactured by National Foundry and is valued in the $75 to $150 range, according to “Kovels’ Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide” by Ralph and Terry Kovel (Black Dog & Leventhal books). Doorstops were especially popular during the late Victorian-era.

Q: I have a Victorian-era Bible that was published in Glasgow, perhaps during the 1880s. It has a deluxe binding with metal latches and thick back and front covers. Letters found in the Bible are from the 1890s. It is in excellent condition, and I would like to determine its value. — Judith, Placitas, N.M.

A: I contacted several used and rare book dealers who told me that most highly decorative Victorian-era Bibles sell in the $75 to $150 range, depending on condition and content. By content, I mean personal family information recorded in its pages. A Bible from the Civil War period could be quite valuable if it has information pertaining to the war or was owned by a historically important family. William J. Chamberlin is vice-president of the International Society of Bible Collectors, and verily I say unto you, he might be able to determine the value of your Bible. His contact information is 6413 Snow Apple Drive, Clarkson, MI 48346; and research@biblemuseum.org. It is always good manners to enclose a SASE when contacting an expert or source listed in this column.

Q: I know that you have answered questions about Fiesta dishes, but I have an unusual product made by this company and wonder if you can help me determine how much it might be worth. In my mother’s estate is a lamp with a syrup pitcher base and a post-metal bottom. It is in cobalt blue. — Cynthia, Buckeye, Ariz.
