For What It's Worth: Antiques Appraisal

Find out the history of artifacts you've been storing and get an appraisal of their value. Karl Gates, a historian and appraiser, presents an introduction to collecting and selling antiques; trends in design, color, and style; and criteria used in evaluating collectibles. Registration is limited to sixty people; one portable item per person. If your antique is not portable, you may bring a photograph of it. Items will be grouped by type (china, silver, paintings, ceramics, etc.) on a table in front of the Baxter Room. Mr. Gates will discuss each group and then appraise each item individually. No guns, stamps, or coins, please. 

For more information or to register, go to calendar.mgpl.org or call 847-929-5101.
