Hilarious!
Quick rundown because I need to prep my lunch and dudes since school starts tomorrow!
Vase- Japanese, 1880s-1890s. A dime a dozen. Seriously, it'll maybe have value in 300 years.
Fan- not worth restoring. Period
Beads- from along the Canadian border in the 1920s. Basically the Native American industry of the 1920s. (replaced later by casinos and golf courses!) Pretty and worth about $50
The leather purse was the most valuable thing- patented in 1921 and worth about $150.
There was some CRAZY stuff. But the funniest thing was this family all decked out in the finery- even had their toddler in his finery and they were right ahead of us. I guess they thought they had some ancient Chinese porcelain but nope- completely worthless mass produced plates. I have no idea how much they paid for them but the poor wife turned all red when he was talking to her. Another person had a section of a b-17 bomber (she made it to the show and couldn't say anything else until after it airs in January). Someone brought in a lifesize floor lamp of Pinocchio.
It was all the guys that you see on TV including Mark Wahlberg. (no not THAT one) You hae to wait in a general admission line, then you see the people who determine which section your item belongs to- Asian Art, Jewelry, paintings, textiles, etc. Then you go stand in line to see the 'experts' in that specific area.
Too fun. Other than the 45 minute traffic jam (I hate the traffic in the 'burbs of DC) it was great!
