2nd Antique Appraisal Day

at the Elkhart County
Historical Museum

The Elkhart County Historical Museum is having an antique appraisal day August 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Rush Memorial Center in Bristol. Anyone having a family heirloom or a special treasure, who would like to know its value, may take it to the museum to discover a monetary answer.

Certified appraisers will provide professional verbal appraisals and opinions for $5.00 per item. There is no limit to the number of items, but appraisals will be on a first-come-first-served basis ending at 2:00 p.m.

The appraising will be done by Britton Knowles and Randy Root from South Bend. Both have done programs at several locations including various public libraries, Northern Indiana Center for History, auctions and estates. They have been serving Michiana since 1978 and are members of the Indiana Auctioneers Association.

Each item will be assigned a number in the order of arrival and the appraisers will start with the first received and do as many as time permits. The appraisals will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., so be sure to be on time.

The appraisers requested if you have something unusual it would be best if you took a photograph of the object, and send it in ahead of time to them so that if they have to do research, they will have information available. Send your photograph attention Britton Knowles at ABK Auction & Appraisal Service, P.O. Box 6606, South Bend, Indiana 46660.

In addition to having items appraised, several local antique vendors will be on hand with both items to display and sell.

Tickets will be available the day of the event beginning at 9:30 a.m.
