Skinner Appraisers to bring Antiques Event to New Bedford

Part adventure, part history lesson, and part treasure hunt, Skinner Antiques of Boston will present an Antiques Appraisal Day on Saturday, June 14th, 9 am – 4 pm, at the Hawthorne Country Club in Dartmouth, MA. If you have a “special” something: an heirloom handed down as part of your family legacy or a collectible and you’ve always wondered about its value, you now have an opportunity to find out what it’s really worth. The event is presented by the New Bedford Education Foundation (NBEF) as a fundraiser for its ongoing support of programs in the New Bedford Public Schools.

Individuals will receive verbal approximations of value of their antiques and collectibles from one of the country’s leading auction houses. Experts will reveal the fascinating truths about your family heirlooms, yard sale bargains and long-lost items salvaged from attics and basements. Porcelain items along with pottery, dolls, toys, silver, china, painting, furniture, and small rugs are welcome.

This year, NBEF has expanded its program to include jewelry appraiser Victoria Bratburg, Director of Fine Jewelry. In addition, Skinner Appraisers LaGina Austin, Senior Appraiser and Director of Appraisal & Auction Services and Jane Prentiss, Director of 20th Century Design and Antique Motor Vehicles will be on hand.

Sponsors for the Skinner Appraisal event include Southcoast Health System & Southcoast Hospitals Group, BayCoast Bank, Partners Insurance Group, Joseph Abboud, Attorney Scott W. Lang, the New Bedford Credit Union, the Hawthorne Country Club, and Bank Five.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have Skinner experts at your doorstep! Don’t miss out. You may be sitting on something truly remarkable. Please call the reservation line to make your reservation at 508 542-8527. Each guest can bring up to three (3) items. The cost is $20 for 1 piece; and $50 for 3. Appointments will be in 5-minute intervals, per item, so please reserve and insure your time. Please do not bring coins, stamps, or musical instruments. It’s an opportunity to help a GREAT cause, have some fun, and learn just what that family heirloom is worth!
