If you’re ever wondered about that old family heirloom, bring it to the Winslow Antiques Appraisal Fair! Hosted by the Old Trails Museum, the fair will take place on Saturday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Snowdrift Art Space, 120 W. Second St.
Sean Morton of Morton Appraisals in Scottsdale is bringing his expertise back to Winslow so that residents will have the opportunity to have their historic items identified and appraised. He will offer verbal appraisals (not in writing) of objects including, but not limited to, fine art paintings, prints, sculpture, porcelain, crystal, silver, clocks, antique jewelry, Asian art, and Native American arts and crafts. No guns, coins or stamps will be appraised.
To schedule your one-on-one appointment with Morton, call the Old Trails Museum at (928) 289-5861 by Thursday, May 4. Attendance is limited to 40 people, and each person is limited to two items for appraisal. The charge for the first item is $15 and for the second item is $5, an excellent value versus the cost of a private appraisal.
Morton is a certified, licensed and insured appraiser, as well as a member of the Antique Appraisal Association of America. He provides fair market and insurance appraisals for estates and individuals. He also works as an independent national auction representative, helping clients consign to nationally recognized auction houses. Morton regularly appears on Channel Eight’s Arizona Collectables, which airs at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays.
The Winslow Antiques Appraisal Fair is presented as a service to the community; the event is not a fundraiser and the charge is only to cover organizers costs.
