Mona K asked:


My husbands antique car has been the topic of argument in our marriage. I feel he chooses it over me….now our kids are throwing us a 25th anniversary party and he wants to take the antique car with a 25th sign on the back. Am I wrong to not want to? This is important to him, yet he doesnt understand this is what we always argue over. Any suggestions?

knittinmama asked:


My mom has a southwest painting by Swinerton, dated 1907 signed to Dr. Raymond who lived in Flagstaff, AZ. Antique Roadshow appraised it at $30,000. but Sothebys said it was only worth $3,000. Is there a market for his early work?

intuition897 asked:


This is a question for violinists and collectors of fine stringed instruments:
Let’s say I was at an auction and an obviously old violin (with a bow and case) was being displayed before it was put up for bid. As a complete novice (who is interested in learning to play and has an appreciation for the history and beauty of these instruments), what should I be looking for when examining the instrument? Please be specific. Don’t say “look for good quality” or “make sure it’s in good condition”. I don’t know what good quality or good condition look like. That’s what I’m asking. What makes this violin a good or bad investment? What are some signs that it’s been well taken care of? Played regularly? Well-made and well-designed? True antique or knock-off? Also, any links to good guides or info pages would be useful.

ricbrown69 asked:


I discovered this on the bottom of both shelves to a hall tree that I thought was carca early 1900s but believe now to be mid 1800s. Also I am pretty sure I saw an episode of Antique Roadshow a few years ago where they discussed this very signature.Any help on this would be very appreciated.I would also like to “finder fee” my gratitude if that is within the Yahoo guidelines?

What is it that makes a person succeed and another
Fail when the two seem to have about equal ability? Some
Have said that the difference is the degree of motivation
And effort each brings to the job. Others have said that an
Intent to become excellent is the main difference.

At least four items are likely to have a major effect
On our success: basic ability, a desire to excel, an aim
to succeed, and zestful effort. If any one of these is ab-
sent or at a low point, our chances for success are lessened.
These features, however, can be developed if we wish.

robbiecreations asked:


I have a hand made coffee cup that is signed on the bottom - I’m sure I saw this signature on the Antiques Roadshow - is there any way to find out if it’s worth anything? All the on-line services I’ve contacted don’t respond. This looks more like art than a usable cup - can anyone help?
Thanks!
