Wow! What an eclectic assortment. I’d say your father had a good eye for art. Some of the sub-Saharan pieces are great. Some good ones from Asia as well. I believe I see Thai pieces and possibly Cambodian. The rider on the horse is my very favorite: is that a bronze? I can’t tell.

Very interesting, eclectic collection. Some things may be worth just a few bucks, others there's no telling how valuable they could be.

You have two issues. 1), you're going to have to do some digging to find an array of experts who could value some of these items. And 2), not having any kind of provenance other than a handwritten note or what appears to be a clipping from a sales flyer will be problematic. For example, those Civil War dice would have a higher value if they could be definitively dated to that time/place, but they could've been made earlier or later.

Good luck to you, you have a big job ahead of you.

Agree, that's quite some collection.

With just a cursory look, in the last picture I can see a Lucite block from the "Heritage Personal Museum" collection. Those sell for $200 new:


... and the horse and rider looks to be a 19th Century Dogon figure from Mali in Africa. Usually bronze, but sometimes iron. That's gonna be around $150 if it's not a modern copy.
