Antique appraisals and how to handle being a personal representative of an estate

Air Date:
Heard On The Larry Meiller Show
Three lamps sit in a cloth-covered table. A hand reaches out to touch one. The photo is black and white.
These three miniatures are among the antique oil lamps which can be used as charming accents in a room. Left to right: A 10-inch-high American footed blue milk glass lamp, priced at $125; a French silver lamp, circa 1850, which is 14 inches high and has a painted glass shade, priced at 8250, and a 10-inch American glass lamp with enamel decoration, from 1890, priced at $95 shown May 25, 1976.

Our family heirlooms and comic book collections are valuable to us, but it takes the help of an appraiser to find out how much they’re worth to other people. A certified personal property appraiser returns to the show to help you navigate your antiques.
