This is a service where you can bring your item(s) to us and we will do a quick evaluation of your item at our office and give you what information we have as to history, materials, approximate value. This is not a Written Appraisal, only a verbal estimate of value. You will be responsible to take any notes of the information we give you.
If appropriate, we can give you additional sources to do more research, get specialized information, repairs, or outlets to dispose of your items.
COST: $10 per item due upon completion of visit.
