Just about everyone has some old piece of furniture or collectible sitting around that raises lots of questions. Where did it come from? How old is it? Who made it? What’s it worth? If you are in possession of any of the following (for example):
Ceramics, china, glass, pre-1950 folk art, paintings, jewelry, silver, pottery, stoneware, redware, American arts and crafts, mid-century modern, collectibles, small pieces of furniture, sports collectibles, Books, Toys & Dolls, Lamps, Clothing, Textiles and Quilts.
… and you think that the items in question might carry some sort of worth, but you’re not sure who to ask, then be sure to attend the WNED WBFO Antiques Home Show tomorrow, Saturday, May 19. Per WNED and WBFO, “Your antiques will be verbally evaluated by an expert appraiser for only $10 per item and you can bring as many as you like!”

In between his part- and full-time work, he worked 18 national shows per year. He has an internet business that specializes in antiques research, which he now uses more than his reference books.
