I have a box of Homer Laughlin china, the cameo pattern (green) and I'm wondering if I should donate it or if it might be worth something. I think I got it from my daughter who got it from her Mimi. The stamp on the bottom is F 56 N8. I can send pictures if you like, but they're in good shape, with no chips. I have bowls, saucers, coffee cups, and plates. Thanks for any information you can provide.

I always use Replacements.com to sell dishes. I sold over 30 of my nana's pieces a few years ago and made several hundred dollars.
If you go to their site and follow their directions, they will send you a bid sheet and let you know if they will buy them.
If they aren't buying...if you have a place like we do in Pittsburgh called Center for Creative Reuse, you may see if they want them for artists to break up and use in their mosaics.
My third suggestion is to do what I plan to do to a batch of pretty but otherwise unsellable dishes...I plan to break them myself and sell them on Ebay as a lot. If you go to Ebay and type in broken china mosaic tiles you can see they do sell pretty well! The key is breaking them so you preserve the pattern. The bonus to this method is smashing china when you are having a bad day is a great stress reliever :)
Good luck!!
