And when we were remodeling the kitchen, we found these stuffed throughout the walls and in the ceilings.
APPRAISER: Do you know who owned the house beforehand...
GUEST: Uh... APPRAISER: or-or how these came to get into the house?
GUEST: The initial owner was the person who ran the train station in Rutland.
APPRAISER: Okay.
GUEST: Um, he had had the house built back in 1896, and these are from that time period, so I'm assuming they're his.
APPRAISER: It's a terrific collection.
It's a wonderful example of artwork, with the women on the bicycles.
This one you have the men and women on the bicycles.
The other thing that I really want to point out is these were American companies.
So, there's a lot of appeal in a lot of different ways.
It's going to appeal to people who like just the look of them...
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: and the feel of this 19th century, late 19th century artwork and paper.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And then to bicycle collectors.
Because anyone that collects bicycles seriously loves to get the catalogs to match up to their bike.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: Inside each of these, where they're loaded with illustrations and prices for the bikes, the bike parts.
GUEST: Yep.
APPRAISER: There's some condition issues.
If you see here on this "Lovell Diamond Cycles, 1897," there's some water damage.
GUEST: Yep.
APPRAISER: Uh, but overall it's just a remarkable, remarkable find.
Dollar value for auction purposes will vary based on the amount of illustrations, by the covers, and by the maker.
That's the most important thing-- by the maker.
Rather than give you an individual price, at auction, I would probably estimate each piece anywhere from $200 to $400 per catalog.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: Now, you have about 25 of them.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: So an overall estimate for auction purposes would probably be somewhere around $5,000 to $8,000.
GUEST: Wow.
That's great.
APPRAISER: So it's a nice little find.
GUEST: That's very nice.
APPRAISER: Less expensive than fiberglass insulation for sure.
GUEST: Absolutely.
