Is It Worth More? | Antiques & Vintage Appraisal Fair Q&A

Small town appraisal fairs throw us appraisers some curve balls sometimes! This fun event at the historic Dezell Home in Greensboro, Florida is chock full of locally significant things that have value beyond the norm because of where they are. Antique and vintage pieces from as far as Turkey and India appear, and as close as the next town. Do we get the values of these vintage goods right?
Country living is a theme, with items rescued from local general stores and far flung auctions representing a slice of real American heritage. We intersperse appraisal valuations with values and views of some specific displays in the museum house, and talk about the importance of antiques and vintage in educating future scholars and antique aficionados.
Salvation comes for small towns when devotees of an area's history join forces, and the West Gadsden Historical Society have done an amazing job resurrecting this little town's railroad depot as well! From its original shop tools, stationmaster's desk and safe to the segregated waiting rooms, this museum and events venue is a great wrap up for our fascinating journey to this once prominent rail town.

    George, I was beyond pleased that we were taken to these museums that I would never had seen if you hadn't. We try to keep pieces of history by the antiques we buy and preserve, but to actually see them displayed in museums how they were used is so invaluable to me. Seeing many of the large museums with items scattered throughout doesn't have as great a meaning to me as these smaller museums showing items in their real "home" environment. Thank you so very much!

    @@TheAntiqueNomad I sure wish I could borrow you for about an hour this morning ! I responded to a for sale ad on local Facebook Marketplace for a lot of vintage smalls. To make a long story short I reached out to the seller and these items belonged to her mother who recently died at the age of 94, they have listed a few things but a local auction co. is coming next weekend to pick up the items to sale them at thier location. The seller has invited me to come over this morning and be the 1st person to pick through and buy what I want before the Auction House comes. How often does this happen ?! I am new to this town so it's not like anyone knows me here but I also can sympathize when it comes to strangers looking through your deceased parents belongings so I will be very sensitive. She has of vintage jewelry, antique furniture, glassware etc etc. Would an old wash stand with the original pitcher and bowl be worth picking up for $40?

    Good evening, George! I really like the appraisal fairs. OMG! I loved that Mason and Hamlin organ! Mine is a Mason and Hamlin. That "Egyptian Dream" book is one I would definitely add to my books. I don't mind that it is worn. I liked that pewter pitcher, and I loved that she hadn't polished it. I used to have an antique telegraph set but sold it many years ago...kind of wish I still had it, but I'd have nowhere to put it, if I did. This was a really fun premier! The mix of the appraisals and the museum tour was really fantastic! Thanks!!!

    Interesting about your pump organ being the same brand, it makes me wonder if that was a prevalent brand in this section of the South. I loved the Egyptian Dream book just for uniqueness and scandal! I always wanted a complete telegraph set, but have never found all the pieces together for sale! I am so glad you enjoyed this mix, it was a departure in a way but I enjoyed doing it.

    @@TheAntiqueNomad I had the pumps and bellows redone in my reed organ, and the old man that redid it for me said the Mason and Hamlin reed organs weren't easy to find. He was 72 years old, when he redid mine, and he said he had been working on old reed organs ever since he was 14 years old. He also told me that Mason and Hamlin almost put Steinway out of business; their pianos were so good. A family member did a bit of research on my reed organ, and they found out, from the serial number, that it was made in the last half of 1892. The Egyptian Dream book would be a fun one to have in a collection. Those old telegraph sets can take up quite a bit of real estate, to display. The one I had come from an antique auction many years ago. It was taking space I needed for my beverage sets, so I sold it 😂 That was a fun mix of the appraisals and the museum tour. A lot of information in both spectrums.

    I really enjoyed this video George! You are so knowledgeable, but also so nice to everyone. Of course I really like all your videos, but when you talk about history it's so interesting and you really obliviously care about your audience! One day I'm going to get in touch about having you look at some ships running boards (I inherited several from my Dad). He was in a Sea Scout group and they used to sail around the Chesapeake Bay and this was in the 1930's when the economy wasn't very good and watermen would skuttle a boat (row or sail it up into a cove and ground it), because there wasn't enough money to fix them.. So these boys would save interesting bits and pieces off the old boats they could find. These are interesting, but all packaged up in my basement !
