Something like this should be handled by my friends at Heritage Auctions.

they have the registered clietel thaqt are looking for what you have and they will more than likely cut you a check up front before the auction for a percentage of the probable value, First don' take myword for it , go over to their site @ Heritage auction Galleries, take a look around, registr on the site if you wantto see what some of the items sold for and then I suggest getting in touch with Mark Jordan the consignment director @ heritage , his E mail is Markj@HA.com .

show him the pictures you took and they will probably even arrange a meeting with you for a piece like that even though they are in Dallas :) Best of luck buddy , I think you will do very well with that . . . .LOL, I didn't even realize until just now you two have the same last name , Mark got me over 23,000 for my 1932 Yankees team signed baseball, he gave me 10K in advance !
