you need to start by taking it to antique dealers in the area who can validate its authenticity and also provide information that only a person looking at the object can disclose. this will also help verify the time period you are claiming. once you have done this, then you can start your research on the product, which will be easier because you will find out more information through the dealers. also, they might be able to recommend good books you can use to learn more about the object.
