Did you come across any interesting items in your attic or basement while spring cleaning? If so, bring your stuff to the History Center this summer for the second annual “Pittsburgh’s Hidden Treasures, An Antiques Appraisal Show.”
On Sunday, Aug. 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., professional appraisers from a variety of disciplines will assess the historic significance of your items and provide a verbal assessment of potential monetary value.
Throughout the day, KDKA cameras will roam the History Center seeking out the most unique and unusual items that visitors have uncovered. Among the appraisers’ areas of expertise are:
- Civil War and World War II items
- Political and presidential memorabilia
- Books and documents
- Antique coins and jewelry
- Household items (glass, China, silver, vases, etc.)
- Classic toys
- Textiles (wedding dresses, quilts, etc.)
- Fine arts
- Furniture
- Historic photographs
The event is free for members and is included in the regular History Center admission prices. Stay tuned to www.heinzhistorycenter.org for details on special members-only privileges and a list of appraisers scheduled to attend.
