I just bought these three woodblocks. I know what they are as there is information printed on the back. One of the three has the information paper cut but i think it is Utagawa Kunisada Samurai. these are not prints but woodblocks. Each is 24cm x 34cm. Frame is bigger.

The information at the back seems to indicate that are very old from the 1800s. How do I figure out the age of these. Is there an appraiser I can take it to? I am in the Tampa Florida, USA area. Thanks

Here is the info
