How to Know it's Enough Rodney Kent?

I am wandering around the house  with a RK411 lazy susan with a divided glass bowl in the center and the traditional tulip final lid, but with tiny leaves. There is no place for me to put it down. The three extra deep shelving units that I store the large trays and lazy susans have shelves stacked so high that I can't slide another piece between the shelves. Every flat surface in  my house displays my collection. In every room, on night tables and dining room buffets, bookshelves and small Victorian tables and consoles. I have over 200 pieces, That doesn't even count the catalogs and advertisements related to Rodney Kent.

I am often asked if I know how much something is worth or if I am personally interested in purchasing it. My first piece of advice for finding value is to google it by using "Rodney Kent Hammered aluminum" and the piece number. Keep in mind, that the numbers were reused several times for different pieces. Then view images and see if you can find it. Then do the same on eBay. If you don't know the number you will have to scroll through the photos. eBay will have a large range of pricing because the sellers have no idea of value, but you can easily see the value by what is bid on and what is not.

As is standard on purchasing collectibles, the better the condition, the higher the value, so if you have the original box or labels or advertising, it will make it more desirable. Right now, I will only purchase what i do not have or something with original packaging. As you can see from my photo, I have many in the box. I also have many holes in my collection. From the catalogs that I own, I know I am missing a lot.  I have never seen  any other sunflower design like the RK506 and RK503 I have posted in my July 2014 post in The Oddities of Rodney Kent. I have two pieces of the 700 series of Rodney Kent, and I only know that because one of them came in the original box (which is how I got the number).You can see them in the blog Rodney Kent enigma Sept2014 and below.

So if you have questions in the future, please follow these guidelines. And photos of the items is a necessity. Many of the items have glassware, as in the catalog picture below of item RK445, which requires a Pyrex pie plate. Make sure you have the glassware or in some cases wood cutting boards.
