My great aunt is moving into a much smaller place, she is clearing out everything from her place. I was just sent this huge list of items and I’m supposed to claim anything I might want otherwise it’s going to be tossed. I’m not an art/antiques/jewelry guy, what here has a chance to be valuable? Our great aunt is fairly wealthy but our family is fairly poor, so if there is stuff off here that could be valuable, please tell me which items it might be.

Any help is appreciated, I don't have much time but she's old and wealthy enough that one of these things could be super valuable.

3 Galleries of items, just scroll through and let me know what might be valuable:

Nothing in the first two, ruby ring in the third and the teacups look unusual (but I don't collect them ... gut feeling based entirely on their resemblance to the pricey stock of a dealer I know who collects teacups). Frankly, if this is stuff getting tossed, why not take what you have room for? Heirlooms are always lovely to pass on to future generations ....
 
Take that moose.

Also is take that ruby. Looks pretty!
 
I agree, also, I'd grab all the crystal I those lots :)
 
Are there other family members that also want part of the things listed? If it is you or the trash can, I would take all of the jewelry, paintings and crystal. Some of that jewelry could be gold. I know the one purplish cut wine glass on the first page could be worth a good bit of money.
 
I wish I'd seen this earlier, my grand parents, parents (and myself to a degree) sell antiques.... (not saying I would have taken anything) I could have offered an opinion on what to take.
