Just for Fun
Antique Appraisal Ranee Roed, a professional appraiser from Des Moines, is returning for a Saturday appraising session. Her appraisals are so popular that a return engagement is mandatory. She has expertise in all areas of antique valuables and will explain the history of the articles as well as the characteristics that increase or decrease value. Each participant should bring all objects that they would like appraised, and in the first round, each person will have three objects appraised. Ranee will value more items for each participant as time allows. In Ranee's last session, all items were appraised, and the group was so interested in the variety of items brought and in Ranee's explanations, that they stayed for the whole session. Bring your treasures and enjoy yourself! If you would merely like to observe rather than have any items appraised, please pay $5.00 at the door as an entrance fee.
