Valuable Vintage Surprises at Heartland Antique Show & Appraisal Fair

We get to see the keepsakes people have hidden at home in this hybrid antique show and appraisal fair video! It's amazing what comes out of the woodwork when a museum sponsors a gathering of dealers and collectors to swap stories, buy and sell antiques, and view vintage items brought by regular folks curious what the value of their heirlooms might be. We're back in the Midwest, and our quick view of the Newburgh, Indiana antique show reveals quaint quilts and primitives, ironstone and crocks--but also vibrant vintage signs, sparkling jewelry and uranium glass! We make a round and put a few things on our go back to buy list, while enjoying cigar linen throws and an amazingly cute child's sized oak cabinet we've never seen on such a petite scale. But the appraisal fair is where the amazement happens! We've never seen a lot of these pieces before, and some of them are real discoveries. Along with fun 1950s TV lamps, a stylish set for the sick and a wildly carved chair, we discover gifts people got that now have great significance, including a five-figure painting and a photo album of WWII dignitaries taken by one of the few people in the room at a major conference of world leaders! The Midwest sure has a lot of interesting things, and we have a great time appreciating them and helping their owners understand their true value. We leave with a few good buys of our own, and take heart that so many people are stewards of tremendous pieces of our world's heritage! ———————————————————— ☀️ Do you want more info about an item you own?
