spoke to the quality of the object. The leather was in good condition, which means that the dolls were probably not stored somewhere hot, such as an attic, or damp, such as a basement.

A fine Tiffany Studios favrile glass lamp was a most interesting antique and one that surprised its owner. The lamp was worth $11,000 and was handed down in the owner’s family. She remembers her grandfather reading by it. Got something you are curious about? Want to know what should be handed down to your children and what should be sold off to take advantage of a strong art and antiques market? Have me appraise your antiques and collectibles, and I’ll tell you if it’s trash or treasure.
