I would appreciate any information you could provide about this wagon wheel chair, including when it was made, and of course, its value. The cushions are not original. There is a “do not remove” tag stapled to the inside, most of which is readable. Some of the information on this tag is as follows: NY Registry #9210, Conn. St. Reg. No. 9?1, Mass. Permit No. 4, Made by Pilgrim Furniture Co, Kingston, NY.

I was not able to find any specific collector interest in the Pilgrim Furniture Company. Pilgrim may be a trade name used by a manufacture for a line of Western motif furniture. The partial wagon wheel motif in the front part and the overall rustic bulky look of the chair gives a stylized Western cowboy look. The chair was likely manufactured after World War II and would likely sell in the $100 to $300 range in a marketplace interested in cowboy memorabilia.
My question is, do you have a name and address of anyone that would be interested in some old copies of “Playboy.” I have 30 copies dated 1957, 60’s and 70’s. Any information you may have for me will be greatly appreciated.

In general most collectors or specialty dealers of Playboy Magazines are primarily interested in the first 15 issues. Issues from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, etceteras had such high circulation that finding them is not difficult because according to specialists, most guys held onto them.
The two issues you have from May and August of 1957 in good to very good condition would perhaps sell in the $15 to $30 range each. To check further try the following resource The Centerfold Shop, 1220 23rd St., Ste. 2-M, San Diego, CA 92102-1960. The phone number is (619) 235-6010.
I acquired this coffee urn from a friend. It is a Simpson Hall Miller Quadruple Plate. I have been unable to find anything like it on the Internet. The urn is highly ornate with a ceramic or glass base and appears hand painted. It sits on a pedestal tilt base and is removable. There is a removable burner plate on the tilt base as well. The tilt base has its own holder for the cup or mug seen in the picture. Other than the Simpson Hall Miller stamp on the urn, the only other mark is on the cup itself. The front is engraved “Sept. 15th S 55”. I have not cleaned this as I feel it should be done professionally. The total height with pedestal is approximately 23 inches, the urn is about 14 inches, the cup 5 1/2. I believe it was made in the 1800s. My friend would like me to sell this for her but needs more information, plus dollar value.

What you have is an ice water pitcher in a tilting rack. Before mechanical refrigeration created a plentiful supply of ice cubes, keeping a supply of cool drinking water available was difficult. In the 1850s to 60s a number of patents were given for metal pitchers with multi walled interiors to insulate and keep water cool. Some ice water pitchers came with a tray shaped to hold one goblet in front of the pitcher. These pitchers were very heavy making it a chore to pour water. Shortly elaborate tilting racks were invented, that included one or more goblets, allowing one to pour the water without lifting the pitcher.
The milk glass portion of your pitcher is likely not original, I think it was added later. The metal is electroplated silver.
Simpson, Hall, Miller & Company was organized in 1866 by Samuel Simpson in Wallingford, Connecticut. The company became part of International Silver Company in 1898. Your pitcher was likely manufactured during the 1880s. Current potential dollar value is less than $100.
