Chances are you’ve watched a PBS broadcast of Antiques Roadshow and wondered whether some valuable treasure lies undiscovered in your own attic. Could that old vase be a genuine Tiffany? Was that raggedy old bear really a collectible German Stieff? Is that bizarre painting from Aunt Ella’s house a lost Picasso? Maybe you’ve been looking in the wrong footlocker. Did you know that a pink Gale pin from 1950 is now worth over $600? Or that a Slo-Mo-Shun pin was sold on eBay for more than $2,500? Maybe you’ve got the next big-money undiscovered hydro collectible. You’ve got until November 17th to search your junk drawers, closets and file cabinets for your new gold nugget. That’s when the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum will host the first ever Hydro Road Show. Expert memorabilia collectors will be on hand to appraise your old hat covered with hydro and Seafair pins, your old photographs, autographs, clothing, uniforms and toys. The Road Show is free to museum members, $5 to non-members. Expert appraisers will be on-hand beginning at 7 pm. The most intriguing treasurers of the evening will be appraised in a special presentation beginning at 8 pm. Coffee and dessert will be served. Bring your own treasurers or just come to say things like “I used to have one of those!” Depending on the response, we may need to limit the number of items appraised to just one or two per person, so be prepared to select your favorites if you bring multiple items. |
