We had a wonderful time with the ladies of St. Bernadette’s Senior Society of Orchard Park. Thank you for having us host your Antique Appraisal Session. Each member brought in different antiques and collectibles, and we discussed current market conditions as well as clear explanations of how to determine the value of prized possessions.
It is a pleasure for us to be able to interact with members in our community, free of charge. We delight in educating and explaining the process to anyone interested, while making sure our valued customers are well cared for.
Some items we examined included oil paintings, stained glass lamps, antique jewelry, antique watches, and childhood toys. One of the most interesting items we saw was the 1930 cast iron and glass child’s doll clothes washer. This toy was used well before the prevalence of Barbie and other modern name brand dolls. As discussed with the members, we revealed the value being somewhere being in the range of $700-$1000 in the current market. They were amazed that something they enjoyed playing with as little girls could be worth so much. The group of members applauded the owner of the washer, as she was praised for her loving care and the fine condition she kept this remarkable treasure.
It is for this reason among many others that we immensely enjoy what we do. This picture shows only the true die-hard fans of our presentation, but over 50 members came throughout the night.
