Royal Doulton Sandwich Tray Valuation Query

Royal Doulton Sandwich Tray Valuation Query:- This plate again, belonged to my Mum who died in 2005. I am gauging from a lengthy search that it (or the pattern) is rare. I am really only wanting to assess if/how valuable it is - without spending money I don't have to do that.

Beyond Ebay which brings up nothing - how else can I guage it's approximate value? I've googled, binged, yahooed and just about everything for well nigh an hour now. I've found items like my plate on auction sites which require you to join to see the prices.

Can anybody point me in the right direction or will I just have to pay to have it valued correctly?

Hi Pam

Many thanks for your query.

Yes, you are right to use your judgement when to pay for an appraisal and when not to.

These Doulton sandwich trays can normally go for up to $15 USD unless a case can be made they are very special (which I don't yours is). So best not to have an appraisal on an item like this.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
