THANK YOU.

>> WELCOME TO ARIZONA COLLECTIBLES, THE SHOW THAT EXPLORES THE HISTORY AND THE VALUE OF THE PRECIOUS THINGS MANY OF US HAVE IN OUR HOMES.

LOOKING AROUND, I SEE BEAUTIFUL RUGS, TABLES, TEA SETS, CHINA AND SILVERWARE.

IT'S JUST A REMINDER OF THE ELEGANT LIFESTYLES OF THE PAST.

I'M PRETTY SURE WE COULD PUT TOGETHER A PRETTY FANCY PARTY RIGHT HERE IN THE STUDIO.

>> I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A LOT MORE THAN WHAT WE SEE ON THE TABLE.

HOW MANY PIECES DO YOU HAVE?

>> 45.

>> AND WAS IT SOMETHING YOU BOUGHT OR INHERITED?

>> MY MOM BOUGHT IT IN 1956 WHEN WE LIVED IN MICHIGAN.

AND ACTUALLY, SHE BOUGHT HALF THE SET AND SHE GOT HOME AND STARTED THINKING ABOUT IT AND SHE WENT BACK AND PURCHASED THE OTHER HALF, THANK GOODNESS.

>> PEOPLE MAY BE WONDERING WHY WE HAVE A DISH THAT IS TURNED BACKWARDS.

>> MM-HMM.

>> AND IT WAS TO REALLY ILLUSTRATE A VERY OLD REPAIR.

AND THIS IS A STAPLE REPAIR.

IT'S A VERY OLD STYLE OF REPAIR AND I JUST THINK IT'S WONDERFUL.

IT'S JUST CHARMING.

A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE ANTIQUE BUSINESS, WHEN THEY SEE THAT, THEY GET PRETTY EXCITED BECAUSE THEY CAN TELL THIS WAS A SET THAT WAS LOVED AND WAS USED, AND SO FORTH.

THERE IS JUST A PATTERN NAME ON THIS DAKA.

IT'S ENGLISH MADE AND AND TRANSFER.

IT'S WONDERFUL CONDITION.

MOST OF THESE HAVE EXTREMELY BAD CRACKING TO THE GLAZE.

THESE ARE GREAT CONDITION.

YOU HAVE AN UNUSUAL DISH RIGHT IN THE FRONT THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S QUADRA FOIL SHAPE WITH HOLES.

OFTENTIMES YOU FIND THAT USED FOR TEAS OR BUTTER.

>> OKAY.

>> HAVE YOU EVER CONTEMPLATED VALUE FOR THIS?

>> NO.

WE JUST LOVE IT AND WE ACTUALLY USE IT EVERY THANKSGIVING.

>> THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR.

>> YOU KNOW, MAKE MEMORIES.

>> I WILL GIVE YOU AN INSURANCE VALUE, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING YOU USE EVERY YEAR, AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL.

AND I HOPE YOU NEVER DO.

I WOULD VALUE THIS RIGHT AT $2,000 FOR THE ENTIRE SET.

>> WOW.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, PEGGY, FOR COMING?

>> THANK YOU.

MOM WOULD BE PLEASED.

>> WELL, GOOD.

GREAT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> PHYLLIS.

>> BO!

[ LAUGHTER ] >> I DON'T KNOW IF I LOVE YOU MORE OR YOUR CANDLESTICKS MORE.

I'M STILL DEBATING, I REALLY AM.

AS SOON AS YOU BROUGHT THEM TO ME, I SAW THE PATINA AND FELL ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THEM.

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM SO FAR.

>> I KNOW WHEN THEY WERE BOUGHT EXACTLY BECAUSE I WAS THERE WHEN THEY WERE BOUGHT.

THEY WERE BOUGHT AT CARTIER IN NEW YORK.

>> YOU WERE THERE?

>> I WAS THERE!

>> YOU BOUGHT THEM?

>> MY MOTHER BOUGHT THEM.

>> OKAY.

>> I WAS THERE.

AND IT WAS IN 1955 OR '54.

>> 1955.

>> AND I HAVE HAD THEM IN MY POSSESSION ALL OF THAT TIME.

>> VERY GOOD.

THEY ARE MADE BY CARTIER AND THEY ARE OF THE MID-20th CENTURY.

SO THE TIME PERIOD THAT YOU ARE SAYING BETWEEN 1950 AND 1960 IS VERY INDICATIVE TO EXACTLY WHAT TIME PERIOD THESE ARE FROM.

CARTIER HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1847.

IT WAS FOUNDED BY LOUIS CARTIER.

THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINESS TO THIS DAY.

THEY ARE VERY WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR JEWELRY AND THEIR FINE WATCHES.

THESE ARE CANDLESTICKS, OF COURSE.

THEY ARE ALL STERLING SILVER.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THEM IS THERE'S A DESIGN.

THERE'S AN ART NOUVEAU LOOK TO THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE DONE IN THE 20th.

YOU HAVE THE LILY PADS ON THE BASE WHICH ARE QUITE LARGE, ABOUT 6 INCHES IN LENGTH AND THEN A NICE FOLIAGE STICK COMING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP OF THE CANDLESTICKS AND THEN THREE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS FLOWERS WHERE THE CANDLESTICKS WOULD FIT IN.

THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWN ON A BUFFET, MAYBE A FIREPLACE MANTLE BUT MORE THAN LIKELY A BUFFET WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE LIVED THEIR ENTIRE LIFE.

THEY ARE CLEARLY SAYING CARTIER AND THEY HAVE THE STERLING MARK AS WELL.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MARKS AND EVERYTHING IN YOUR STORY IS PARTICULARLY RIGHT.

IT'S NICE THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL DUST COVERS AS WELL.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PAPERWORK OR PROVINCE WITH THEM?

>> YES, I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE.

THE PAPER HAS YELLOWED A BIT, BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE.

>> DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOUR MOTHER PAID FOR THEM IN 1955.

>> $180.

>> AND THAT WAS FOR THE PAIR OR EACH?

>> THE PAIR.

>> YOU DON'T COME ACROSS CARTIER THAT OFTEN.

YOU SEE JEWELRY ALL THE WAY.

BUT STERLING SILVER HALLWAY, YOU DON'T SEE VERY OFTEN.

ON A RETAIL SETTING IF YOU WERE LOOKING TO PLACE ON THE INSURANCE, HANG ON TO THESE, I WOULD PUT THEM IN THE $2,500 TO $3,500 RANGE.

>> MM-HMM.

>> FOR THE PAIR.

SO YOUR MOTHER'S $180 INVESTMENT.

>> IT TURNED OUT WELL.

TURNED OUT WELL.

MY MOTHER WOULD BE VERY PLEASED.

>> VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

AND CAN I SHAKE YOUR HAND WITH YOUR WHITE GLOVES.

>> MORE THAN HAPPY TO, YES.

>> CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STORY OF THE SILVER PIECE YOU BROUGHT IN TODAY?

SO SO THIS SILVER PIECE BELONGED TO MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER GERTRUDE DEMENT BROWN AND THEN IT WAS PASSED DOWN THROUGH MY GRANDMOTHER AND MY MOTHER AND ME.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY SPECIAL IN MY FAMILY.

I HAVE BEEN HONOR TO BE THE KEEPER OF IT FOR RIGHT NOW.

>> WE HAVE A GRAM SOLDERED PIECE METAL SET.

IT WAS CREATED IN THE EARLY 19th CENTURY BY JOHN GORHAM IN PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.

AND IT DATES TO THE LATE 19th CENTURY.

THERE ARE SEVERAL MARKS UNDERNEATH.

IF YOU FLIP THIS OVER LIKE THAT, WE CAN SEE THAT IT'S IMPRESSED WITH SEVERAL MARKS.

NAMELY THE GORHAM MARK, AS WELL AS SOLDERED AND A PATTERN MARK WHICH IS 0730.

THAT INDICATES THAT THIS IS THIS RIBBED BODY, HAS A CERTAIN PATTERN WITH THIS LOVELY LITTLE WINGED FEATURE RIGHT HERE.

AS WELL AS IF WE LOOK AT IT AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A COUPLE CIRCULAR MARKS THAT HAVE GEOMETRY PATTERN THAT INDICATES THE DATE.

IF YOU LOOK UP EVERY DATE MADE BY GORHAM AND THIS PARTICULAR SET WAS MADE IN 1893.

ANOTHER INTERESTING CONNECTION THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED TO YOUR FAMILY, IS THE INSCRIPTION OF THE NAME UNDERNEATH.

IF YOU READ THAT, BERNICE GERTRUDE BROWN, IT SAYS THE NAME ON THE TEA SET.

THE AESTHETIC OF THE SET IS REALLY LOVELY AS WELL.

YOU CAN SEE THE RIBBED BODY, THE SQUAT BALL FEET AND THE WINGED APPLIQUE AND THE ORIGINAL IVORY.

AND WE HAVE A CREAMER, AS WELL AS A LIDDED SUGAR.

TYPICALLY THIS SET WOULD COME WITH A COFFEE POT, AS WELL AS A TRAY, WHICH I KNOW ARE NO LONGER PART OF THE SET.

BUT IT STILL MAKES A FANTASTIC PIECE OF HISTORY AS WELL AS FAMILY FOLKLORE AS WELL.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH YOU THINK THIS MIGHT BE WORTH?

>> NO CLUE.

NOT AN IDEA AT ALL.

>> I THINK IT WOULD BE IN THE RETAIL ANTIQUE MARKET RIGHT NOW, PROBABLY FOR THE THREE PIECES TOGETHER, IT WOULD BE ABOUT $300 TO $500.

>> OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO OUR FAMILY.

IT WILL BE PASSED DOWN TO MY CHILDREN.

>> GREAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

>> THANK YOU.

♪♪ >> WITH SO MANY PAINTINGS PASSING BY, IS THERE SOMEWHERE IN THIS ROOM THE FIND OF A CENTURY?

OR A FABULOUS FAKE?

>> PETER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS IN TODAY.

I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT.

WHAT I'M WONDERING IS IF YOU COULD TELL ME THE HISTORY OF HOW YOU ACQUIRED IT.

>> YES, MY DAD WORKED FOR THE SANTA FE RAILROAD RIGHT AFTER THE WAR.

THIS PARTICULAR ITEM WAS IN THE OFFICE OF THE GENERAL PASSENGER TRAFFIC AGENT IN CHICAGO WHERE MY FATHER WORKED.

>> MM-HMM.

>> AND THEN THE LATE '50s, MY DAD RECEIVED A PROMOTION AND HIS BOSS PRESENTED THIS TO HIM, AND THIS HAS BEEN IN OUR FAMILY NOW FOR ABOUT 60 YEARS.

>> OH, GREAT.

>> IN IS AN ORIGINAL CHROMLITHOGRAPH.

THEY USE THE TINTINGS TO MAKE THE COLOR.

THE PROCESS IS REALLY COMPLICATED AND IT CREATES A DIFFICULT PRINT.

DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, THIS IS 1912, THEY COULD HAVE DONE A PHOTO REPRODUCTION OF THE PAPER THAT THEY PURCHASED, THAT THE RAILROAD PURCHASED FROM MORAN BUT INSTEAD THEY DECIDED TO DO THIS LONG AND LENGTHY PROCESS OF CREATING A REALLY NEAT CHROMOLITHOGRAPH AND THIS HAS ORIGINAL COLOR AND ORIGINAL INK AND THEY CREATED A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THE GRAND CANYON.

AND THESE PIECES WERE USED, LIKE YOU SAID, IT HUNG IN A RAILWAY STATION.

THEY HUNG IN TOURIST OFFICES.

THEY JUST -- THEY WERE ENTICING PEOPLE TO COME TO THE GRAND CANYON.

THOMAS BERRAND WAS KNOWN AS THE GREAT PAINTER OF THE WEST.

I THINK HE WAS BORN IN 1830s AND DIED IN THE '20s.

THIS WAS TOWARDS THE LATER END OF HIS LIFE, BUT IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL PRINT OF ONE OF HIS FAMOUS PAINTINGS.

AND I'M CURIOUS, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF ITS VALUE?

>> WELL, THE ONLY VALUE THAT I KNOW OF IS ONE THAT'S IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND THAT WAS AROUND $5,000 OR $6,000.

THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT OF NICKS IN IT, SO I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE.

>> THAT'S WHAT WE WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE CONDITION OF IT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, UP HERE, THE CONDITION HERE THAT HAS THESE NICKS, SOME OF THE INK IS FLAKING OFF HERE.

SO WE WANTED TO USE IT SORT OF AS A TEACHING TIME, THAT THE CONDITION IS SO IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PRINTS.

AND THIS PRINT IS NOT IN THE BEST OF CONDITION, BUT IT STILL HAS A VALUE OF SOMEWHERE BETWEEN, I WOULD SAY BETWEEN $800 AND 1200S.

>> OKAY.

>> SO I HOPE THAT'S HELPFUL.

>> YES, IT IS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

>> YOU GET THE PRIZE FOR BRINGING IN ONE OF THE LARGEST PIECES TODAY.

TELL US, WHERE DID YOU GET THIS SCREEN?

>> THIS WAS A SCREEN FROM A CONSIGNMENT SHOP IN SUN CITY, ARIZONA.

WE ARE GOOFING AROUND, JUST LOOKING AT STUFF AND IT REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE.

IT SAT THERE FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND THEY CONTINUED TO MARK IT DOWN AND IT GOT TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS REASONABLE AND I WENT AHEAD AND BOUGHT.

>> WHAT WAS REASONABLE?

>> IT WAS $160.

THEY STARTED WITH LIKE $300 OR $400 AND THEY CONTINUED TO MARK IT DOWN.

>> WELL, YOU DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON IT.

>> A LITTLE.

>> AND YOU FOUND THE DESIGNER, A FRENCH DESIGNER.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

>> PAUL, I THINK IT'S PRONOUNCED FAIRE.

>> HE WAS VERY WELL KNOWN FOR DOING ART DECO SCREENS IN THIS STYLE.

AND THIS WAS A QUESTION THAT YOU HAD OF ME EARLIER, YOU ASKED ME, IS THIS AN ORIGINAL PAUL FAIRE SCREEN?

I THOUGHT THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT ON THE SHOW.

A COLLEAGUE OF MINE AND MYSELF, WE LOOKED AT THE SCREEN, REALLY INSPECTED IT AND IT'S A GREAT SCREEN.

IT IS NOT BY PAUL FARRELL.

>> OH, RATS!

>> BUT THAT'S STILL OKAY.

THERE'S STILL GOOD VALUE TO IT.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND I THINK IT KIND OF GOT AWAY FROM THE CONSIGNMENT SHOP BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THAT.

HIGHLY WELL DONE.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

>> IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SCREEN.

WE BOTH CONCURRED AND WE LOOKED AT IT, THOUGHT RIGHT AROUND $1,000 TO $2,000.

>> THAT'S GREAT.

>> IT'S NOT BAD NEWS.

>> THAT'S STILL -- >> MAYBE IT IS BAD NEWS.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT AN ORIGINAL ONE WOULD BE WORTH.

AROUND $15,000 TO $20,000.

>> DOLLARS?

U.S.?

>> DOLLARS.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS WHY.

LET ME GO INTO IT JUST BRIEFLY.

THERE IS AN OXIDATION BUILT UP.

THERE IS NOT A LOT OF CRACKING GOING ON TO THE GUILDING, AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE MORE A TRUE BURNISHED GOLD GUILD ON HERE.

I ACTUALLY PREFER THIS MORE THAN THE OLDER ONES IN A WAY, BUT THE SCENES ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO HIS.

IT'S A WONDERFUL PIECE.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK AS THOUGH WE ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU, BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL LEARNING SESSION.

>> OH, THANK YOU.

>> BUT VALUE-WISE, STILL DARN GOOD.

>> DO I GET THAT MONEY FROM YOU OR IS THERE ANOTHER LINE.

>> OH,Y.

>> I'M JUST KIDDING.

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING INTO "ARIZONA COLLECTIBLES."

>> THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION.

>> GREAT SCREEN.

>> THANK YOU.

>> TELL ME WHAT YOU BROUGHT IN.

>> WELL, KENNETH BEGAY CUFF LINKS.

>> YES.

>> AND I WEREN'T SURE IF THEY WERE REAL.

I HAVE THOUGHT I WOULD BRING THEM IN TO SEE IF THEY ARE REAL OR NOT.

>> WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?

>> I FOUND THESE AT A YARD SALE.

>> REALLY?

>> I KNEW ABOUT KENNETH BEGAY BUT I WASN'T SURE IF THE HALLMARKS WERE AUTHENTIC OR NOT.

SO THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT THEM?

>> WELL, I'M GLAD YOU DID, BECAUSE KENNETH BEGAY IS AN IMPORTANT NAVAJO JEWELRY ARTIST.

IN FACT, HE'S CONSIDERED THE MODERN FATHER OF NAVAJO JEWELRY AND SILVER SMITHING.

THEY ARE VERY NICE CUFF LINKS.

THE INTERESTING THING NOT ONLY ARE THEY BY BEGAY, THEY ARE CUFF LINKS.

TEN YEARS AGO YOU WOULD BE HARD TO FIND A PAIR OF CUFF LINKS THAT PEOPLE WOULD BE WEARING, MEN WOULD BE WEARING.

>> RIGHT.

>> TODAY IT'S A BIG RAGE AND A POPULAR THING.

>> REALLY.

>> AND TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S PART OF ARIZONA HISTORY AND A DRESS ITEM THAT COULD BE A NICE ACCENT OF THE SOUTHWEST AND AMERICANA AND NATIVE AMERICAN LIFE, MIXED IN WITH FASHION, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THEY ARE WORTH?

>> NO IDEA.

I HAVE SEEN DIFFERENT AMOUNTS FOR DIFFERENT THINGS BUT, NO.

YEAH, I HAVE NO IDEA.

>> KENNETH BEGAY IS VERY COLLECTIBLE.

A PAIR OF CUFF LINKS LIKE THIS THAT ARE CLEARLY SIGNED AND MARKED WITH TURQUOISE ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF ABOUT $400 A PAIR.

>> COOL.

>> REALLY, REALLY NICE PAIR.

>> VERY NICE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THEM IN.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

♪♪ >> WELL, DAVE, THANKS FOR COMING TO "ARIZONA COLLECTIBLES."

I HAVE NOT SEEN WHAT'S IN THE BOX YET.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG SURPRISE.

I LOVE SURPRISES.

>> YES.

>> DO YOU WANT TO SHOW ME WHAT IT IS?

>> THIS IS AN ANTIQUE MEDICAL DEVICE, 1924.

>> 1924.

>> IT'S CALLED THE SUPER MARVEL.

>> THE SUPER MARVEL?

>> YES, IT'S A VIOLET RAY EMITTER.

>> AND WHY DO WE WANT THIS?

>> IT'S CLASSIFIED AS MEDICAL QUACKERY, THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL IT NOWADAYS.

>> A SUPER MARVEL?

>> IT PLUGS IN AND IT EMITS A VIOLET RAY INSIDE THIS TUBE.

>> YES.

>> IT LIGHTS UP LIKE A FLUORESCENT BULB KIND OF, BUT IT'S IN A VIOLET COLOR.

>> WILL I LOOK 25 YEARS YOUNGER.

>> YOU CAN USE IT ON YOUR FACE AND HANDS.

YOU PUT IT IN THE END HERE.

>> OH,.

>> AND THEN IT HAS AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE END TO TURN UP THE INTENSITY.

>> WHAT WAS IT SUPPOSED TO DO?

>> WELL, IT CURES LITTLE ACHES AND PAINS.

SO YOU HAVE A SCAR, IT ACTUALLY HELPS IN HEALING.

AND WHEN YOU DO TURN IT ON, IT WILL BLOW A SPARK ABOUT THAT FAR -- >> THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ZAPPED.

>> MAYBE LATER.

>> YES, WE CAN DO THAT LATER.

>> WELL, IT'S VERY FASCINATING AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT IN TODAY.

>> THANK YOU, BREATH AND GREAT TO BE HERE.

>> DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE ARIZONA COLLECTIBLES?

JUST GO TO AZPBS.ORG/COLLECTIBLES.

IF YOU HAVE A COOL FIND PORE A FAMILIAR -- OR A FAMILY HEIRLOOM, SHARE IT WITH US ON FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM OR TWITTER #AZCOLLECTIBLES.

>> I FOUND THIS AT A YARD SALE FOR $4.

>> LET'S SEE IF YOU GOT YOUR MONEY'S WORTH.

IT'S CLEARLY A PICTORIAL IMAGE.

IF YOU LOOK AT IT CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS ACTUALLY A WOVEN TEXTILE.

AND THIS IS A TYPE OF WEAVING THAT THE CHINESE DO CALLED CUT SILK.

SO INSTEAD OF HAVING A SILK BACKGROUND WHERE THE PATTERN IS ACTUALLY EMBROIDERED ON TO IT, THE WHOLE SCENE IS ACTUALLY WOVEN IN.

>> OKAY.

>> THIS IS A REALLY DESIRABLE TYPE OF CHINESE TEXTILE.

>> OH, GREAT!

>> AND IT'S TYPICAL OF THE SCENE THAT YOU WOULD SEE ON A TEXTILE DATING FROM AROUND 1900.

>> OKAY.

SO YOUR OLD FRAME, YOU SAID.

>> YES.

>> IS A LITTLE BIT NOT AS OLD AS THE PIECE, SHALL WE SAY.

THIS IS A TYPICAL GENRE SCENE OF SCHOLARS AND ARISTOCRATS IN A GARDEN SETTING AND IT DATES FROM PROBABLY RIGHT AROUND 1900.

>> OKAY.

>> THERE IS, AS WE CAN SEE, SOME SIGNIFICANT WATER DAMAGE ON THE BOTTOM.

>> YES, THERE IS.

THAT WASN'T ME.

>> AND THAT WOULD IMPACT THE MARKETABILITY OF THE PIECE.

IT'S ALSO SOMEWHAT FADED.

SO IT'S BEEN HANGING IN SUN LIGHT, AND IT'S NOT AS VIBRANT AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN.

BUT IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PIECE -- AND ONE THING I MIGHT POINT OUT WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT THE TYPE OF TEXTILE THAT THIS IS, WHEN THE CHINESE TAKE A SCENE AND THEY ACTUALLY EMBROIDER IT ON TO SILK, IF YOU LOOKED AT THE BACK, YOU WOULD SEE LOOSE THREADS AND KNOTS AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S CLEARLY A CERTAIN SIDE TO IT.

>> OKAY.

>> BUT WITH THESE WEAVINGS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY TURN THEM AROUND, WHICH WE UNFORTUNATELY CAN'T DO BECAUSE IT'S FRAMED, AND YOU WOULD SEE THAT THE SCENE IS JUST AS GOOD ON THE BACK.

I MEAN, IT LOOKS JUST AS PERFECT.

>> OKAY.

>> SO THAT'S ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE TEXTILES.

SO YOU PAID $4 FOR IT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT A PIECE LIKE THIS MIGHT BE WORTH?

>> NOT THE SLIGHTEST CLUE.

>> OKAY.

IF THIS WERE NOT DAMAGED, I WOULD SAY THAT IT COULD HAVE A VALUE SOMEWHERE IN THE $800 TO $1,200 RANGE.

>> OKAY.

>> IN ITS FADED CONDITION, PROBABLY MORE ON THE ORDER OF $600, AND IF SOMEONE WERE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE WATER DAMAGE ON THE BOTTOM, I THINK IT STILL COULD POTENTIALLY SELL FOR SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF $500.

SO YOU DID PRETTY GOOD FOR YOUR $4!

>> NOT TOO BAD.

IT WAS A GOOD OUTING, WASN'T IT?

>> IT WAS A GOOD OUTING.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE IT.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT IN.

>> I LOVE JEWELRY.

I LOVE AMERICAN JEWELRY.

WHERE DID YOU ACQUIRE THIS, SIR?

HOW DID YOU COME ACROSS THIS?

>> IT WAS BACK IN 1909, I WAS IN A CONSIGNMENT SHOP, AND I SAW THIS SET, AND I REALLY LIKED THE TONED DOWN TURQUOISE.

IT HAD BROWN.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT TURQUOISE IS THE BRIGHT BLUES AND GREENS THAT YOU SEE NOWADAYS AND A LOT OF TURQUOISE IS TREATED STUFF.

IT'S TURQUOISE BUT NOT REALLY TRUE TURQUOISE.

THESE ARE AUTHENTIC.

THESE ARE ALL NATIVE AMERICAN PIECES.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE SERIES ALL CAME TOGETHER.

WE HAVE A SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACE RIGHT HERE.

ON THE TOP RIGHT WE HAVE A PAIR OF EARRINGS WHICH MATCH, A LADY'S RING IN THE CENTER, AND THEN A THREE-STONED CUFF ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE HERE.

YOUR MOST PREDOMINANT PIECE WILL BE THE NECKLACE, WHICH IS THE SQUASH BLOSSOM?

DID YOU PURCHASE IT ALL TOGETHER?

>> YES, AS A SET.

>> THE FIRST THING WE LOOK FOR IS IT SIGNED?

IS IT STAMPED?

IS IT ATTRIBUTED TO A CERTAIN ARTIST AND NONE OF THESE PIECES ARE SIGNED.

UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME, WE WILL NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHO MADE THESE PIECES.

TALKING ABOUT TIME PERIOD OF THIS PIECE, YOU SEE SQUASH BLOSSOMS AND RINGS AND CUFFS THAT STARTED AS EARLY AS 1860s AND 1870.

THIS STYLE BECAME POPULAR IN THE 1960s AND THE '70s AND '80s.

PROBABLY THE MID-1960s IS PROBABLY WHERE THIS COMES?

>> YOU DO YOU STILL WEAR THESE PIECES.

>> OH, YEAH.

>> IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO WEAR THIS STUFF AND IT'S VERY ATTRACTIVE PIECES.

GET IT OUT IN THE OPEN.

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS TRULY INTENDED FOR.

THE PAIR OF EARRINGS, AT THE TOP RIGHT HERE, I WOULD PUT IT IN THE $150 TO $200 FOR THE EARRING ALONE.

MOVING TO THE RING IN THE CENTER, A FLORAL MOTIF ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE AND A NICE BEAD WORK THAT CONTINUES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM CENTER OF PIECE.

AND A REALLY NICE OBLONG CABOCHON STONE, A RETAIL SETTING WOULD BE $250 TO $300.

MOVING FORWARD TO THE CUFF, IT'S A THREE-STONE CUFF.

A RETAIL SETTING ON THIS CUFF RIGHT HERE WOULD BE IN THE $400 TO $450 RANGE ON THE CUFF ALONE.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE MOST PREDOMINANT PIECE, THE SQUASH BLOSSOM IN THE CENTER HERE, YOU HAVE A NICE GROUPING OF TURQUOISE IN HERE.

IT ALL MATCHES VERY NICELY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE 18 PIECES OF TURQUOISE ON HERE.

AND THIS STYLE IS VERY POPULAR.

EXACTLY THE WAY IT'S STRAND AND THE WAY THE SQUASH IS MADE, EVERYTHING, ON THE RETAIL SIDE OF THINGS ON THE SQUASH BLOSSOM, IN FLAGSTAFF OR SEDONA, YOU WOULD SEE A PIECE LIKE THIS GO FOR AROUND $2,500, THE NECKLACE IN THE CENTER AND POSSIBLY AS HIGH AS $3,000.

IT'S A NICE GROUPING.

I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER HERE AND THANKS FOR BRINGING IT DOWN TO ARIZONA COLLECTIBLES, OKAY?

>> THANK YOU.
