It is a painting of a tea kettle, eggs on a platter and an egg by a cup. There is a signature but I cant read it. On the back of the painting I found some paper with the words Windsor and Illnois Mldg Co.  But when I look them up they are like gone. Only other people looking for them. It is an old painting in an old fashioned setting.

Paintings, or any piece of original art are not really suited for any online appraisal format. Such pieces really require the services of a qualified Appraiser and a physical examination of the piece. There are just too many varaibles that cannot be determined by description or even highly detailed digital images

I posted my oil painting 3 days ago and I still havn't got an appraisal.  Am I doing something wrong or what?
