Antique Questions - C
I am doing some research on Carter Car Company. I recently found an old catalog "Carter Car Company". Wondering if this is related to this "Carter" car on your website. The catalog is green. I think it is dated 1913 and it is a parts catalog. Any ideas to value?
I have a tea pot that is stuck on a little saucer and on the bottom it says Crown Dual ware England Regd No 72944. Could you please tell me if it is worth anything and if so how much.

Parts catalogs are generally not as desirable as owner's or shop manuals.
I have a tea pot that is stuck on a little saucer and on the bottom it says Crown Dual ware England Regd No 72944. Could you please tell me if it is worth anything and if so how much.The correct name for this item is Crown Ducal. There are many reproductions so if your teapot says Crown Dual than it is a repro.
Crown Ducal was a well known English pottery, and one of many that produced the very collectible Chintz which is a transfer pattern featuring leaves and flowers. It has been popular since 1928. Older pieces usually have larger flowers.
The 2003 Schroeder's Price Guide listed a 2 cup in the "Primula: pattern at $375. Check at your library or bookstore for a book on Chintz pottery to see if you can find your piece or pattern, since the pattern determines price, along with condition, of course. You can usually ask your library to order the book, if they are in a book sharing system. Ask for, "Charlton Book of Chintz" by Susan Scott. There are three books to this series and your pattern should be in one of these.
