What Is It Worth:  Is There A Treasure in Your Attic?

Have you ever wondered what your grandmother’s silver pitcher is worth, or the clock you picked up at a flee market?  Learn the value of your antiques, when they were made and where they came from.  Stuart Whitehurst, Vice President and Senior Appraiser at Skinner, Inc., one of the nation’s leading auction houses for antiques and fine art and the only major auction house headquartered in New England, will entertain and educate you and your guests in the same fashion as the very popular PBS series.  Individuals are asked to bring one item to be verbally appraised by Stuart.  Please omit coins, stamps, jewelry and musical instruments.

Fee: $10 per item, $25 for 3 items, maximum of 50 items per Skinner.


Friday, December 5       6:30 – 9:00 PM       Barrett-Byam Homestead
