This should be an entertaining and educational opportunity for those who are interested in antiques, collectibles and family treasures that we all are curious about.

The participants enjoyed having their possessions viewed and appraised. Mr. Miller was able to give approximate values which in a couple of cases surprised the owners. Mr. Miller also spoke about the fluctuations in the antique market and the positive and negative effect that has on collectible items.
