NEW - Learn All About Your Vintage and Collectible Treasures!

Ever wonder about the history of that funky old lamp you inherited, or the value of that brightly colored glass vase you snapped up at a garage sale? Appraisal clinics will be held from 10am-3pm at all 2008 Retro Design & Antiques Fairs, on a first-come-first-served basis. Items should be small enough to carry, with a maximum of three items per person allowed, and the cost of each verbal appraisal is $5 per item (cash only please). We cannot accept responsibility for the safety of your items, so please take care to wrap fragile pieces well.

The appraisal clinics will be conducted by Gale Pirie, an accredited member of the Canadian Personal Property Appraisers Group with many years of experience in valuing estate goods. She recently returned from a busy tour of western cities as an appraiser with the CBC's Canadian Antiques Roadshow, and we're delighted to offer her knowledge and expertise at all the Retro Design & Antiques Fairs!
