Please note that appraisal specialists are not available at this event for dolls, sports memorabilia, Hollywood memorabilia, arms and armor, men's watches, antiquities (ancient Greek or Roman), musical instruments, or books.
Due to liability concerns, no assistance may be offered to guests bringing items to be appraised. If your item is heavy, you may wish to bring a friend so that you can leave your item with a friend and then park your car. For large items, such as furniture or paintings, you may bring photos of the item. When taking photos, be sure to include distinctive characteristics, such as furniture maker stamps and drawer joinery for furniture. For paintings, be sure to take a photo of the signature and the back side of the canvas.
