I hope you enjoy these pages. Use them to help you identify your Hall refrigerator/kitchenware item. I am happy to answer questions, if I can, but please don't ask me to put a price on your item. (see "A few words about Values and Pricing below). I collect Refrigerator and Kitchen ware Hall items but not Hall teapots hence so my knowledge of teapots is quite limited.
Please see my wanted list for items I am looking to purchase.
A few words about Values and Pricing The PRICE of any item is entirely dependent upon the moods of the buyer and seller at the time of the transaction. Nothing has a fixed price and the price of nothing stays fixed. Reference books can be helpful, but often they set the price rather than reflect the market. They can never be timely as the information gathered is usually years behind current trends. Use these pages to help you identify your Hall refrigerator/kitchenware item. I am happy to answer questions, if I can, but please don't ask me to put a price on your item. To help you estimate a retail price you can purchase the Hall collectors guides (See http://hallchinacollectors.com/_sgt/m5_1.htm for some available titles) Perhaps your most timely source of information is the results of closed auctions on an internet auction site. You will find prices vary widely and do remember that condition is of prime consideration. As Hall China usually wears very well, one tiny chip may make an item have little or no desirability. To check out the current Hall China offerings try this Ebay Hall Link. You can put in a search work like phoenix or hotpoint and find just those items. Then on the left hand side choose CLOSED auctions to see what items actually sold for. Ebay is the most popular on-line auction house with over 4 million items for sale at any one time and Hall China is well represented here. You may also want to check out other auction sites. |
