We've got extra treasures from our 27 season tour and you can touch something that Einstein touched.

I mean, it's just sense, a thrill.

gosh.

Wow.

Right now in Antiques Roadshow.

Junk in the trunk.

Now, the people who make Antiques Roadshow possible, the American Southwest has been explored for generations.

Now you can experience it with Rocky Mountaineer.

Guests travel between Denver and Moab on board this train along a wakening rivers and vistas while dining in a glass dome coach.

It's an opportunity to explore the Southwest landscape with a journey on board.

Rocky Mountaineer, proud sponsor of Antiques Roadshow.

We always had questions.

Who do we belong to?

Who are our ancestors?

I know we have them.

I found that immigration record on ancestry.

She came single as a nurse.

October 9th, 1943.

I feel like a time traveler.

American Cruise Line's proud sponsor of antiques Roadshow.

And by contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you.

Thank you.

Nashville's Teakwood Estate and Gardens was our first stop in 2022.

Once home to Leslie and Mabel Cheek, this masterful combination of architecture, design and nature was planned by Brian Fleming and was completed in 1932.

Today, the combination of Cheek Wood's beautiful surroundings and the treasures of our guests is creating excitement as the Leesburg and District.

The other one.

These are our group of civil war letters that are from two brothers that were at the siege of Vicksburg.

They wrote the letters together and signed them.

Lam and Kam McNabb.

From what little research that I have done, it looks like Liam was probably captured at Vicksburg in a letter died in prison and that Kam went on to be also captured at Vicksburg, paroled on July the fourth of 63 and joined the Union Army in February of 64 in Nashville.

And you're right, we did a little bit of research on the brothers, and Lemuel was actually captured on May 17th at the Battle of Big Black River Bridge, Somewhere between 260 and 329 members of that regiment were captured that day.

Those guys all got a ticket up north to Fort Delaware.

And the reason we don't hear from LAMB anymore is a few months later, he dies in prison.

Campbell takes another way out.

He gets captured when the city falls.

He's part of the regiment, survives that battle.

And as you noted, he then turns and joins the Union Army.

He galvanizes and becomes a galvanized Yankee fighting for the union.

That's just something you don't normally see in a group of letters.

There's a lot of reasons he might have made this decision.

It might have just been a very practical one because he didn't want to go to prison.

He didn't want to have to deal with being trapped in a parole camp waiting to be exchanged.

He may have also not wanted to fight for the Confederacy in the first place.

A lot of the East Tennesseans were union sympathizers.

They did not vote for Tennessee to secede.

It was middle Tennessee and West Tennessee that really forced the issue as far as seceding from the union.

And it's also possible that what he saw in Vicksburg, which was one of the most horrific places to be during the siege, if you were on the Confederate side, may well have affected his decision.

Outside.

You've got a union army that's relatively well-supplied.

They're eating.

They're relatively healthy in the greater scheme of things.

And inside Vicksburg, you've got people literally living on rats to survive.

It's not just the two we've got here, an entire archive of roughly 20 letters.

This letter has a particularly interesting description of something that he saw while he was in the defenses of Vicksburg.

We saw an awful sight yesterday, saw a man shot.

He was an artillery.

Men belong to the first Louisiana Regiment.

He had refused to fight, spiked the cannon and ran off to the federal Army.

Of course, spiking the cannon makes it inoperable.

You can't fire it anymore.

That's the ultimate in desertion.

Not only did he leave the lines, but he rendered the weapon.

He was supposed to use it operable so that the other forces couldn't use it in defense of the fortifications.

As we talk about value of these ladders.

There's always some additional value that's placed on Confederate items because there's a lot less of it.

And it is actively collected because, as in any conflict, souvenirs get collected by the winners from the losers.

And there's some enhanced value because of the content of the letters.

They're so descriptive.

And then the other wonderful thing about this archive is that it covers a couple of years of war service where he does change sides at auction.

The one that has this wonderful description of the artillery just on its own could be a 500 to $1000 ladder because it's such an interesting story.

This letter, which talks about him joining the Union Army, that's probably a 500 to $700 letter.

Monetary value is I was not expecting at all.

But the historic value for us, East Tennessee is just immeasurable.

Absolutely.

This the people that went through the events that give you the clearest view into what was happening in those days.

This is a Kinstler drawing that he drew when he was 20 and he rolled it up and sent it to England, to George Bernard Shaw.

And he never thought he would see it again.

And he sent it back a few months later with is this me have been George Bernard Shaw and how did you come by?

My father gave it to me, and this cloth belonged to my grandmother.

She lived in a small town in Alabama, but she lived like she was on Rodeo Drive or somewhere.

So she had clocks on every mantel clock in every room.

But what was really special about this one is when it would strike.

It played this beautiful little melody.

I remember the sound of it more than anything, chimes every 15 minutes, and it's playing the Westminster chimes.

This is what big band plays in London, If the clock is made by Paragon, they were a car company in the mid 1970s and the mechanism is German Pillar and scroll form.

It's an eight day clock and this is not a 175 to $250 clock is so much appreciated.

Thank you for coming.

You know, my great grandfather was fascinated with the West and then my grandfather, his son, took the train out to Denver from New York and rode 800 miles with a group of Native Americans and spent time with the Navajo Hopi and a few other tribes.

So these are just items that he acquired along the way.

Yes.

And I'm not sure what my great grandfather got versus what my grandfather got, but their trips were all finished by 1916, so everything would predate that.

Have you put any study into them?

I think they're Hopi, just east of the Hopi first Mesa, there was a Pueblo that had been abandoned in the 16th century, but there was a potter by the name of Nampalys that lived in the region.

She would go down and find charts and then inspired her to create a revival of that pottery style.

She was born in 1859, died in 1942, and it's very difficult to authenticate her pieces.

She never signed any of her pieces, but there's an elegance to them.

She used a lot of bird wings.

These are really beautiful examples, and I would attribute them as an empire.

really?

neat.

Probably date to the time that he was there in 1916.

Okay, so they're from the turn of the century.

Okay.

And what is this?

It's a canteen.

A canteen.

Okay.

As a personal use canteen.

And there were enough people coming through that she was making these to sell to visitors.

The canteen is charming, absolutely charming.

And at auction I've put in some maybe 12 to 1800 dollars on it.

wow.

The bull has a log for hanging, and when they would hang them in their own homes would carry a price of 2 to 3000. wow.

The center bowl is as elegant as they can be.

It has great form, beautiful color, exquisite painting.

And I would place its value of 12,000.

$14,000.

Wow.

So.

Well, thank you.

That's fine.

That's great news.

The Gem State provided both rain and shine for road shows.

Visit to the Idaho Botanical Garden, which showed off its natural treasures as rodeo experts pored over the crowds, prized possessions that my wonderful Grammy gave it to me.

My Grammy loved antiques, and she would go antiquing all the time when she would bring home her antiques, she would disperse them around her house in areas where my grandpa wouldn't see it.

She would bring it out about after three months and he would notice it and say, well, is that new?

No, no, no, dear.

That just came from the other room.

I'm just rearranging the antiques.

So you have no idea what she paid for it or anything.

You know, you think about it.

She was terrible.

She kept no records because records could be looked at by her husband.

I get that.

I get that.

It is bronze, and it's mounted on a ceramic vase, which is probably porcelain.

The design is just spectacular with all this sea life around the bottom, we have starfish and maybe some type of coral.

And then we get this wonderful seaweed wrapping around the base with three terrific seahorses with their tails wrapped around the edge of the seaweed.

And then in the back, we really get to see the beautiful rich glaze.

And this glazes are very much inspired by ancient Chinese ceramics and porcelains, which European makers loved to try to imitate.

On the bottom there is a signature which before today you didn't know was there, right?

I didn't.

Right here at the bottom.

yeah.

It says L Sheldon c h a yellow end.

And this was done by an artist named Louis Shalom, who was French.

He was born in 1866, and he lived until 1940. and he was a multitalented, really interesting man.

He he studied painting, He did book illustration.

He worked in gold, He worked in silver.

But at some point he kind of settled on bronze and most of his bronzes are just solid bronze.

But he sometimes incorporated other materials like this into his sculptures.

In a few cases, he did ceramics and with great care we could and fasten it.

And possibly it's marked.

But one thing we're certain is that it's French.

We think it might be made by porcelain.

This is probably made around 1900, 1910, 1915.

Okay.

And one question is, was this originally a vase?

Yeah, that was converted to a lamp or was it always a lamp?

We looked at it very closely and we think it was always a layup.

it's really hard to say because there's so few examples of his work like this, but our guess it would probably sell for a retail price somewhere in the 3000 to $5000 range.

my goodness.

That's absolutely fantastic.

It's an absolute gem in my house.

So I thank you for giving me all this information.

The family's story is that my grandmother and grandfather went on a tour of Europe and decided to bring back some items to commemorate it and this is one of the things they bought and I think it was in the early thirties.

Well, that makes sense.

People were doing the grand tour at that time and collecting art along the way.

The painting is by Pierre Young von der Oder.

AB He was a Flemish painter, born in Antwerp in 1841 and studied all over Europe, went to the Middle East, and he was an academic painter.

So the painting is titled Lovers.

But when you first brought it to the table, you had another idea.

Well, I was just commenting that he probably shouldn't entered lover because she looks really, you know, unexcited to be there.

So I've always been curious about the name and the subject matter.

So.

Right he seems to be amorous She not so that's in an academic style.

It's dated 1875 and signed lower right.

It's oil on panel.

There's a label on the back by a very well known gallery out of London, Frost and Reed, and that really helps authenticate the painting once it's got their stamp of approval, then we know it's legitimate.

It's unlikely that the frame is original.

It was probably put on the painting in the 1930s when your grandparents purchased the painting.

It's a genre painting and they're not as in style these days as they once were.

He painted a lot of historical subjects.

Those can bring a lot of money, tens of thousands.

This is an earlier work and I think at auction a fair value would be 3 to 5000.

Great.

Thank you.

Right now it's just in all my zoom calls because it's behind me in my office.

So the lady just appeared and she had this box and it is a gold eagle.

How wonderful.

And on the back it says KW, which I am sure is a Chinese maker's Mark.

And the 18, which I think is 18 karat gold, I think it was Hong Kong, I think it was probably made in Canton.

Canton.

You have gone, Joe.

It's made for the American market.

I think it's because it's an eagle, which is really extraordinary.

Thanks.

It's a brooch.

It's not a traditional Chinese form.

This is an export item, and therefore it's a different market than a domestic Chinese market.

Have you ever seen something like this?

No, I've never seen anything like that.

I think it's 46,000.

That's really it's it's really, really rare.

But in my larger of the two Ben-Hur playsets that I received when in 1959, when I was eight years old for Christmas, I played with it a few times and my mother snuck it away.

And so it's pretty pretty.

It's like almost next to the condition, I guess.

Do you like gladiator movies?

I like this one in 1959 was a year The Marks Ben-Hur Playset came out.

I took pictures of it so I would never have to set it up again.

That's very, very smart and got it all together.

You've got all the bits in here in this condition in the original box, with all the original packaging and bags, you're probably at around 800 to $1000 at auction right now.

400.

Wow.

Is the ministry feel good?

This is fantastic.

So this tea set, it was my mother's pride and joy it belonged to, I think, our great great great grandfather, Robert Stewart.

And he is credited with finding the Overland passage back from the Pacific Northwest.

Lewis and Clark found the river route, but he's credited with the return passage and he was sent by John Jacob Astor and returning to New York.

He was given this, he said, from John Jacob Astor for his wedding.

This is an absolutely exceptional American silver coffee service.

You obviously have the coffee pot here.

You have the sugar which is covered.

So it's a covered sugar and you have the cream jug and it's made by a gentleman by the name of William Thomson, who was based in New York and was active from around about 1810 to the mid-18th forties.

And as you had said, your relative discovered what's now known as the South Pass and it's an incredibly important pass.

And he worked for the Pacific Company at the time for John Jacob Astor.

And what we love about this set is that it has all of the features which really commemorate the Pacific Northwest, primarily with the beaver form finial at the top, surrounded by the laurels.

And then this absolutely spectacular, I'd like to say it's perhaps probably a wild turkey or eagle form spout is just really beautiful.

We can tilt this back and it says right here on the underside, Robert Stewart from John Jacob Astor, 1813.

And buried beneath it is the maker's mark, which is slightly what we call a faced.

You've got this beautiful lobed form also on both of these pots.

You've got this wonderful shell casting at the base, all very, very typical for William Thompson.

He has other pieces in museums and institutions which interestingly feature other animals as finials as well.

So it's kind of his thing for this beautiful silver set for all three pieces.

I would expect to place an auction estimate of 15000 to $25000 on it.

Wow.

Fantastic.

That's great.

I believe that insurance value is going to be probably closer to $40,000.

Wow.

If you had presented this to us today without the inscription, it's still a spectacular coffee service.

As a standalone, an estimate would probably be in the range of about 8000 to 12000.

I really expected it to just be with the mount weight.

The Sunny Southwest was Roadshow's third tour stop, Santa Fe's Museum Hill, home to four world class museums and the Santa Fe Botanical Gardens, was truly a hotspot for art and antiques.

There's a little chip on the spout, which is the most vulnerable spot.

Yes, the map belonged to my husband.

He found it in a house in London that he and a friend were fixing up, wrapped in a newspaper, and it was hidden in a compartment near a fireplace.

So he very carefully unwrapped it.

And.

And then we had it the whole time we were married.

Wow.

So when did he find the map in the wall?

I think he found it sometime at the end of the fifties or the 1960s on in broad reassessed Tottenham, which is part of London.

And apparently that was a very prosperous area that had to do with trading.

So what we have here is a map of the world with the latest discoveries by Jane Young, 1791.

It's a sampler double hemisphere map and the needle work is all hand-drawn.

It is absolutely magnificent quality.

Technically, as a sampler, it's very accomplished piece and it's so hard to do embroidery in those tiny, tiny fine lines.

There's no ink on this map, and that makes her a great artist.

She showing the world from the 16th century all the way up into possibly 1750.

I wonder if she used several different maps to source the material because you see many different time periods depicted.

Geographically speaking.

It's a British view of the world at the time around 1740.

So it's very much a colonial sentiment.

You've got the 13 colonies in North America, you've got all of West Africa is named Negroland.

And so it's a look back on what Britain thought of the world at the time.

The tradition of geography Embroidery started in England around 1770 and it became all the rage.

It was very fashionable for young women who were well-to-do to study geography through embroidery.

It's the nicest quality embroidery I've ever seen on a sampler, and that makes me think that it was a sampler that was maybe what we would call the mother map or or the sample map that would have been used to make other maps.

As this tradition continued.

All throughout England, people mostly did maps of England.

Very few institutions have world maps, number one.

And then number two, the world maps that I've seen have been so I believe this is possibly linen and that's why it survived so well.

It's hard to put a value on it because there's not a lot of auction records.

I would put a value on it in a retail setting between 7000 $508,500.

very good.

It's a wonder to Royal Air Force Air Chief Marshals uniform.

I left the pants in the car because it made it so heavy because it is all wool and it's it's like £10 of uniforms.

We were due some money and they couldn't pay us, so they offered us stock in the company for jewelry.

And we took the jewelry.

That's fun from the seventies, probably Navajo made in probably from my hometown of Gallup, New Mexico.

There was a period in the seventies where people wanted really big, ostentatious jewelry.

It was a trend of its time, not as popular.

Today you can see that the beads, if you look closely, those are actually machine made beads and the quality to the turquoise isn't great.

It would probably bring a value for around 1500 to 20 $500.

But it's just a wonderful example of the style and trends and how things changed in Indian jewelry.

He was given to my grandmother by a friend of her families, and she used him in lots of adventures.

Lots of adventures.

What do you mean by a lot of adventures?

When they lived in New York City, she would wait until an older woman walked by on the sidewalk and throw him out the window and yell, My baby, my baby.

it was a terrible thing.

What you brought today is a doll made by Martha Chase.

She lived in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

She started making dolls in 1889 and made dolls for 30 years.

This doll probably dates to about 1915.

She also made specialty dolls like Alison Wonderland.

She made it George Washington.

But the doll you brought is very unusual because of the size.

It's 32 inches on today's market.

It would probably sell between $901,000 retail.

okay.

So I need to keep them away from my dog.

Right.

Right.

And take good care of them.

It was given to my mother in the late sixties by my Uncle Henry.

We had it in our lovely little kitchen in Philadelphia.

We had two others and we loved sitting on them having breakfast in the morning.

It's something I've always loved.

And so when my mother died in 2013, we all got an opportunity to choose things.

And this is one of the things I wanted.

Well, you are a good chooser.

I'll tell you, this is a great piece of furniture made by my very favorite furniture maker, Wharton Esherick.

And he lived in PEI, only Pennsylvania, not far from Philadelphia.

He actually, as far as I'm concerned, a lot of other people are concerned started the studio furniture movement and all kinds of famous people came out of the studio furniture movement, George Nakashima, Paul Evans, Wendell Castle.

Those are just a few, but those are really big names in the world of furniture.

And Mr. Esherick started the whole thing and he started about 1920.

He was a trained artist.

He was a fine artist, and he never made much of a living as a fine artist.

I think he was sort of a starving, fine artist and he was he was certainly an adventurer and he had an interesting life and he wandered down to Alabama and while he was there, he had to make furniture.

Legend has it, he was too poor to buy his own to be able to make it.

And that notion of beauty and furniture and kind of commingling the two came out.

He ends up moving to peyote, peyote, Pennsylvania out in the mainline and sets up a little shop.

He's doing pretty good business.

He's doing business with a lot of very wealthy folks all through Philadelphia.

But there are slow times and he needs a few bucks.

So what he does is he starts making the store marketing and he would sell them locally.

I've seen dozens of them, and No.

Two that I've ever seen are remotely similar.

All the tops are different.

They're different heights, the legs are different shapes, the angles are different.

And it's both functional.

And it was beautiful.

I mean, look at this piece.

Look at the curves and the angles and the sloping.

It's a stool.

It was a simple stool.

Should we take a look at the top?

Absolutely.

It's one of my favorite parts.

I like to look at it as like a cow face was very biomorphic, that's for sure.

As far as what kind of wood this is, The base is made out of oak.

All the stools I've ever seen had oak bases that this top.

I'm not 100% sure it is.

It was probably some scrap from something else he was building.

It doesn't look to me like anyone's put any love into this since it was probably produced.

Right.

One of the great things about Esherick work is, is that you could clean this up unlike a lot of period furniture where people say, don't touch it.

Whatever you do, don't touch it, you'll kill you.

That's not true with assurance.

Okay.

The other thing I love about Wharton Esherick stuff is his signature.

And this pieces is totally.

There we go.

Yes.

W e for Wharton Esherick 1966.

Not all Wharton Esherick furniture is signed either.

Most of it is.

A lot of it is.

Do you have any idea of what this store might be worth?

I'm thinking about eight, 10,000, eight or 10,000?

Well, that is at auction today.

That's just about right.

Okay.

That's out to you.

To the to the dollar.

That's right.

Some sold last for a little bit above that.

Okay.

And some sell off a little bit below.

But 8 to $10000 is right on.

good.

So between you and your siblings, you have $30,000.

And Wharton has your store.

Yes.

And we love them all.

They usually sell between 40, 50, $60.

Okay.

So.

Okay.

Wow.

Your uncle really appreciated.

The court was given by my English great, great great great grandfather to his daughter Sarah in 1784.

Went to one of the women in each generation at this clock was made by Thomas Wagstaff.

He was born in 1724 and he died in 1802.

He was from Oxfordshire, England, and he was a Quaker and a fantastic English clockmaker.

One of the best really is known as a very large man and very personable, had a lot of acquaintances and a diligent worker and obviously very skilled.

But this is a very special bracket clock.

It's musical and it was made circa 1770.

It has a great dial.

It signed here.

Thomas Wagstaff London It has a subsidiary dial for setting off the strike at the time.

And then this is the fourth tune select.

The tunes are often the personal selection of your relative.

They would be able to select the tune on their musical tastes.

So these might very well be tunes that were dear to them.

I'll show you the back, which is just fantastic.

It has its original cattell pendulum.

It's got these Foley engravings throughout.

It plays on a nest of bells, everything about its original.

The condition is fantastic.

Musical clocks like this are fairly rare and very sought after because anything with complications is very desirable.

This clock, the retail value, would certainly be around 20 to $25000 right now.

I'm going to be brave enough to actually wind it and get to listen to it again.

So I'll play it.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, it's by lowly historic house and garden was the scenic backdrop for the roadshow version of Show and Tell.

As you can see, it's just a gorgeous example of Americana.

Of course, with the added bonus of a free appraisal by a roadshow expert, these would have been which like late 19th century, it belonged to my great grandmother, who was from Poland in a small town outside of Krakow.

It's called Berkshire, and she passed it down to her daughter, my grandmother, and then my grandmother passed it to her daughter and then my aunt passed it to me when I was much younger.

I want to say I was in my mid-twenties.

great.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do you wear it often?

Not often, but I do wear it on special occasions.

Well, it's a it's a beautiful necklace and it dates to about 1905.

Platinum had been an industrial metal, and when jewelry artists worked with it, they realized it was much stronger than gold.

So you could use less of it to hold the stones and to make the designs.

So they were able to make these light beautiful designs.

And this was called the Garland style.

And it's pretty obvious why it was called the Garland style.

There are garlands of flowers.

You'll also see there's bows.

They were drawing a lot of inspiration from this 18th century marie-antoinette glamor.

And the women at this time were wearing a lot of pale colors, a lot of white silk and lace.

So they loved the white metal.

And most of the jewelry was in diamonds or pearls too, to go with the outfits.

A couple of things I especially love about this necklace.

First It's with its original box.

And then one of the most interesting things is the back of the piece.

And I often say, if you want to really know about a piece of jewelry, look at the back so you can see that this piece was originally designed to be worn two ways.

There are hooks here to attach the chain so you could take away the chain.

If you look at the center here in gold, it's for a screw.

So there would have been a brooch attachment that would have screwed in there.

And if you ever have a piece of antique jewelry in the original box, you always lift up the velvet and look underneath, because that's usually where they're stored.

So at some point in the past 120 years, the brooch fitting went away.

It's set throughout with diamonds.

There's a mix of old European cuts and single cuts, and you have about six carats of weight there.

So it's a pretty substantial necklace.

Now.

It isn't marked at all.

And the box has no markings on it at all.

So we can't tell exactly where it was made.

But I'm going to guess it was made in continental Europe.

If I were to recommend an insurance value for this, I would recommend that you insure it at about $40,000.

If it had the original brooch attachment, I'd probably recommend you insure it at 45,000 watts.

Well, thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

So this is the original tape on the cover of the Hotel California album cover.

The cover is a photograph, but then there's this neon type gun across it and my dad painted it.

He's an illustrator, so he did a lot of album covers and movie posters.

This is a powder horn from 1777.

This belonged to I'm not sure how many greats going back grandfathers Of the 1777 the Revolutionary War was going at full tilt.

You would have needed this.

Your life depended on having your keeping your your powder dry.

An auction estimate on this would be about 3 to $5000 now.

And you can ensure something like this.

7000.

Okay, great.

Good sounds.

This is my grandfather's photographs from the twenties.

He had a shop at 57 page in San Francisco and 1550 on market.

Earlier he handled high end aces and Indians and Dudley Perkins his on across the street on page and he handle Harleys.

This whole archive is 138 photographs A lot of it has been in my uncle's possession up until a year and a half ago, and then he died earlier this year.

And he gave them to me because I'm one that knows about archives and working in the art business.

Right.

So what do you know about your grandfather's interest in motorcycles?

It was a time of rebellion against the middle class, and my great grandfather was Oakland Feed and Grain Company and had a lot of made a lot of money that way.

So he rebelled against that and became the black sheep of the family.

So the motorcycle was invented in the end of the 19th century, and the first motorcycle club in the United States was in 1903, in Yonkers, New York.

But San Francisco, your grandfather's club, was immediately after that in 1904.

Well, so it was one of the first clubs in United States and an area where the motorcycle culture just seems to have really taken hold.

Oakland was soon after that.

And these photographs really represent those early motorcycle clubs.

The clubs would gather there be races, hill climbing competitions and is the baseline for what we think of as motorcycle culture today, which is club oriented, community oriented leather jackets and jeans and T-shirts.

Yeah.

And that's here.

We see that in these images.

And what I find really fascinating in each of these images which represent and gatherings of the various motorcycle clubs in California in the 1920s, is that the there is women as well?

yes.

Women were just beginning to be able to vote.

I think San Francisco Motorcycle Club admitted women before they could vote.

And it was the first club to do so in the United States, which I think is amazing.

And what can you tell me about this photograph here?

That is the front of the page store 57 page.

My grandfather's on on the right.

So that's his storefront.

And he's on an Indian motorcycle.

Right.

Which is one of the brands that he specialized in wearing at the San Francisco motor Club sweater.

And a tie.

This is part of a much larger archive.

I'll be giving you a value for what we have on the table here today at auction.

I would value each of these panoramas between 2000 and $3,000.

I would value this smaller photograph between two and $300.

We're looking a total value at auction between 4260 $300 at auction.

Great.

This is a painting that my grandfather purchased and it was passed down to my father.

And then it's been passed down to me.

I know that Percy Gray is a Californian water colorist.

I know he painted in the twenties and thirties.

It's signed right here and dated 1930.

Do you think your grandfather purchased it around 1930?

I think so.

Do you know where he purchased it?

Well, there's a sticker on the back that says Gump's San Francisco.

So I'm assuming that is a likely source because Gray did sell his work through cowboys.

Percy Gray, whose official name is Henry Percy Gray, was born in 1869 in San Francisco.

His father had emigrated from England.

But what's interesting was that there are about 12 family members that were artists.

He had a childhood illness, and at that time his brother gave him some art supplies.

And that was when he discovered that he had a real talent for art and wanted to pursue it.

He went to art school in San Francisco, but then by 1895, he was working for a newspaper in New York.

But he continued to study in the evenings with William Merritt Chase, who was a premier teacher of American artists.

But in 1906, he was sent back out to San Francisco to cover the earthquake, and at that point he decided to stay in his hometown.

At one point, he developed an allergy to oil paint, and that was when he changed to using watercolor, for which he is well known.

When he used watercolor, one thing he did was apply the color quite densely.

So you don't automatically have that initial reaction that it's a watercolor.

He really is one of the most successful and well-known landscape artists in California.

And your picture shows some of the trademark subject matter that he revisits over and over again, the lupine and the eucalyptus trees.

He also tended to use a kind of muted palette with mainly greens, browns and grays.

In his early work, he was influenced by Impressionism, but when he got into his mature phase, he was really more influenced by the Barbizon School and tone of wisdom, which are very muted palettes.

He actually was also very conservative and he he was one of the founders of something called a Society for Sanity and Art, and they were opposed to everything that wasn't conventional, traditional.

So they opposed abstraction, surrealism and cubism.

But he really is a wonderful artist and I think if this were offered in a retail gallery, the asking price might be around $65,000.

gosh, that's interesting to know.

It's never been on the market except for the initial purchase that's in the original frame.

It has a lot of things going for it.

Roadshow ended our tour in Vermont at Shelburne Museum.

As all roadies know, any day our experts are out.

Discovering treasures is a good one.

Even when the weather doesn't fully cooperate.

So this just in from the meteorology desk at the Antiques Roadshow.

There are lightning storms in the neighborhood.

It's beginning to rain slightly.

And as a precautionary measure, they've asked everybody, guests and appraisers to go inside.

So right now, the Antiques Roadshow appraising field is empty.

Things are temporarily on hold.

But don't worry, there are professionals in charge of everything.

It should be fine.

And the show did go on.

This is a perfume bottle that my father had given us.

And what do you know about it?

I really don't know much, except that it's been in the family for three generations, and it's one of those items that you don't display publicly in your house every day.

And yet it treasure.

Have you used it?

No, no, no, never.

I don't want to open it because I believe it's old and I don't want the fragrance to escape.

Well, that is so fascinating because you're right.

When you open it up, the fragrance evaporates.

So you locked it in place.

So we don't.

We don't know what the smell is.

No, no.

Yeah, but let me tell you about it.

It's gold.

Yes.

And it's French and it's made by this house.

Diana set, who was a very famous jeweler in Paris, worked in the 1800s to 1848 and 1835.

He hired a very well-known maker, Foleys, who later became very well known and very important on his own.

And he worked there at this time.

Now, in 1848, the revolution came and John said had to close the shop.

So we know this is prior to 1848. that's good.

that's interesting, I said.

And now let's stand it up because it doesn't stand unless it's in the box.

And these jewels, you know what they are, I would believe I always felt they were turquoise.

Well, you're right.

But what about the top?

I always thought it was the same.

It's not.

It's not.

It's French blue enamel.

Now, when you open it up, there's the stopper.

And we found the French gold mark, which is the Eagles head.

Now, because you've locked it, we can't find the actual maker because I'm sure it's inside.

It's probably inside.

So now we won't know for sure if Felice was the maker of this bottle, but I have my suspicions that it is.

And the material, it's either just glass or rock crystal.

Very hard to tell.

We'd have to do some extensive studying on it.

The gold is 18 karat because French jewelry is always 18 karat in the retail world.

If you go into a fine shop and that's where it would be, it would be around $15,000.

which is a considerable amount for an object that is really just for your table top.

I brought a collection of boxing cards.

I inherited them from my dad, who inherited them from his dad, who was a boxer in his day, and I think a promoter in the Burlington area.

I guess the story goes he smoked turkey, bread cigarets and he would send in the packages and in turn he would get these cards.

So what we have here are nine turkey red cabinet cards there from 1910, 1911, there were 26 in the set.

You have 21 here.

And basically what happened back then was you get a coupon in every pack of turkey heads and if you had enough coupons, you could send them in to the company and you could check off which boxer you wanted.

And it's basically the best boxers of that era.

So you have a battle over here.

He was called the Little Champ is a little guy, five foot three yourself.

And he actually went on to become kind of a gambler.

And he's one of the central figures in the 1919 World Series, the Black Sox scandal.

You have Sam Langford here, who's a great early champion.

Stanley Cassel is one of the best boxers of his era, fought Jack Johnson, amongst others, but he was actually murdered in 1910.

So it's kind of interesting to see him here.

And here's Jim Jeffries.

He was the heavyweight champion of the world.

And probably the most important is Jack Johnson.

Today, one of the most collectible and kind of legendary boxers of all time.

They were meant to be displayed.

So generally you'll see tape or pinholes in the corners, and that's what we see some of that here.

But a lot of these you don't see that the vibrancy of the color lithography is astonishing.

Viewers would grade probably in the fair to good condition, very collectible today, primarily because of the amount of great boxers that are in the set and just the visual beauty of the set.

I'm going to put the collection in an auction.

I'd appraise it at somewhere in the thousand to 1500 dollars range.

really?

Yeah.

In this condition.

Very cool.

Great collection.

Well, thanks for the information.

This has been in my family for about 120 years.

All I know about it is it's Mount Washington Glass.

It's been in a box in a closet for a long time, so I'm here and hoping to learn more about it.

Well, it's a beautiful piece.

It's sort of representation size.

It makes a statement in the room.

If you look at the bottom, there's a mark on there with the number, the way the numbers are done, that sort of a European way to sign something similar.

My thought is that it's probably not Washington, non-American, but European.

By 1880, 1890, based on the decoration, is very Victorian and feel if it was in an auction setting it would probably be 5 to 700 retail, maybe around $1,000.

Yeah.

So thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Yeah.

So these are scary, scary ancestors.

Ancestors.

They came from a family farm in Chestertown, Maryland.

New portraits themselves probably date to the late 19th century at this time.

Photography was so prevalent that these portraits were often painted from photographs.

There are very few collectors that want a portrait of maybe an unknown sitter on the wall.

Usually an auction value or estimate for a pair of portraits like this is around 100 to $150 or so.

Who are they painted by?

We seldom can identify these paintings unless they are signed, which they generally are not.

So.

So my grandmother had a sister.

Her name was Lottie New Steam and they lived in New York.

She had worked as an X-ray technician for Dr. Buckey, who was a close friend of Einstein.

So she met him on a personal level and started taking photographs of him.

So this one here is a photograph from Lottie New Sting, a picture of herself and a letter written to her and signed in German.

And I don't know the translation.

The middle piece here is a sketch that Einstein had signed maybe a year ago.

I found an issue of Saturday review from 1955, and that was on the cover.

And our last piece is an autographed book of Albert Einstein, a biography.

I believe one of the things that I really love about this is when you open up and you can touch something that Einstein touched, I mean, it just sends a thrill.

Einstein obviously, one of the most important scientists of all time.

The first item there, your letter, it was done in 1942, and it's tough to translate.

We actually someone who speaks German well looked at it and said, can't quite make it out.

It will take a little more.

But what it is, it was around the holidays and she had apparently giving him some chocolate or some candy.

He was thanking her for that.

And his handwriting is very, very distinctive.

And when you see an Einstein signature, it's very small, very compact.

The print, it's nice.

And you say it was used in a magazine cover.

Right.

And who was the sign to that sign to Lottie's sister, Alice Schlesinger.

Okay.

And then the book, which was came out in 1949, The World, as I see it, which was sort of a philosophical writing of Einstein's, a very nice inscription.

It's a little in English, it's a little bit in German.

You've never done anything with the value on these.

This would be in the value of $5,000, maybe a little bit more.

Okay, 5 to 6.

This one, 1951.

And is probably a 3 to $5000 just for the signature.

And then the last one is a nicely signed book.

And again, you're probably in that 5 to $6000 range because he didn't just sign it.

So you have 13 to $17000 in retail value.

Thank you so much.

That's nice to know.

I got it 40 years ago from my ex-husband who is now deceased.

We've been together for a few years and we got married.

And I always jokingly say it lasted 5 minutes.

But in that 5 minutes, he was very generous man and very, very tasteful.

We used to find an excuse to walk past this antique store on 57th Street in Manhattan.

I remember seeing this and I comment on how much I liked it, and I thought he would get it for me for my birthday.

Instead, I got my portrait done by Andy Warhol, and believe it or not, I wanted that before it showed up at Christmas time.

This was your Christmas as a Christmas present?

Yes, he told me it was from the 1700s.

That was about all I knew about it.

Would you know what your husband might have paid for this?

No, I can't guess.

But I'm sure.

It was expensive.

I was wife number four, so I don't know how many gifts like this were given.

But he was a good customer and they knew him by name.

It's a Renaissance revival.

18 karat gold necklace done with very delicate enamel like we've got cabochon paradox and cabochon rubies of two separate colors.

The rubies are like flashlights under a UV light, which is a sign of very strong fluorescence.

So these are Burmese rubies.

The Renaissance revival generally starts in the 1840s and ends in the early 20th century, but the sweet spot was 1850s through the 1890s.

The style screams Italian renaissance.

This piece is unsigned, but in terms of the hand that made it, it's signed all over the place.

The maker's name was Carlo Giuliano.

Carlo Giuliano was the master of Renaissance Revival enamel work.

He's from Naples, born in 1831, he worked with Castellani in Naples or Rome, and then he was sent to London in 1860.

He started hiring himself out, making jewelry and making designs for other very famous London jewelry houses, people with royal warrants for Queen Victoria, for example, Queen Victoria loved him.

He opened his own store in 1874.

Carlo Giuliano dies in 1895, and while his sons carry on the business until around 1910, the work does go downhill a little bit.

Piece of master.

Very few people have this talent for both execution and design work.

The earrings have a screw back closure for non pierce tears.

The date then is somewhere around 1890.

A fair retail price is between 65 and $85,000.

my goodness.

Now for insurance value, you have to insure that piece of jewelry for $120,000 the set.

Well, thank you so much, Sarah.

So we've got a lot of stuff.

And, you know, I mean, that's actually important because Louisiana, historically, when the country was established, this was a very important cultural place.

So the history and you could have a lot of stuff in the closet that may have a lot of ahead of you.

However, what it says I know isn't that I can't ever get it right.

I think that's why I love to watch it, because I try to guess and the things that look expensive, I'm wrong.

Yeah.

You know, and the things that don't like white people are just against it.

Big risks.

Thank you.

And now it's time for the road show Feedback Booth.

I found out that my $20 picture was actually worth 3 to $400.

So everybody can quit making fun of my cow picture.

And they liked my hat, but they said it was probably more likely to be a bowl from Vermont.

I brought a man's platinum Diamond Star Sapphire ring, praised it ten K and the Snipe Bear.

When I want one, I pick this up at a stake sell for $5.

She kind of looks creepy, little haunted.

But you know that just goes with the territory.

She was appraised at 700 to $1000, so I'm just going to keep her on my bookshelf and hopefully she does a hockey.

This camera is clearly older than this camera.

They're both Polaroids, but this one is only worth 25, about $25.

Whereas this one actually works.

You can get film for it and it's worth about 2 to $300.

And if we put on some baby wipe and clean this up, it's worth up to $600.

So older doesn't necessarily mean more valuable.

We learned that he was carved in maybe the 1880s or 1890s by Italian artisans.

And we the appraiser pointed out this lovely little crack right here, and it goes all the way around to the back side.

This little bottom has gotten us much attention today for them.

We've had a year, more than 15 years.

Thanks for watching.

See you next time on Antiques Roadshow.

Antiques Roadshow is available with PBS Passport and on Amazon Prime Video.

I purchased this in Jackson, Wyoming, in a thrift store.

I think I got it for like 299, probably in like 1978 79.

It's a 1955 Gretsch duo jet, which was Gretsch is competition with the Gibson Les Paul.

And although it looks like a Gibson, Les Paul like a solid body, the body is actually chambered.

So it sounds it sounds quite different.

And Gretsch, being a drum company, they couldn't resist adding their own touch.

So the finish on the top is nitrogen, which was what they used on the outside of their drums.

That's why it looks so great.

It's because it just doesn't scratch the chrome.

It's just it's in remarkably good condition.

They only had these diamond dinosaur neck pickups for another year or two in a vintage guitar shop.

Gretsch like this would sell for just under $5,000.

Yeah, 4700 pretty easily.

Yeah.

It's just a classic example of the fifties rock and roll guitar.

Yeah.

I have great grandparents who collected Native American artifacts in the 1890s.

Well, this is a sweet jacket.

It's a little boy's jacket.

It's crow and the crow live in Montana.

And children's clothing is pretty rare.

It's from about the 1880s.

If we were to take this to auction, I would put 4 to $6000 on it.

Very nice.

You're watching PBS.
