Antiques Roadshow

GUEST: This is a curling purse that was made for the first U.S. Women's Curling Nationals, the team that my mother was on with three other ladies.

And there was a gentleman in Fairbanks who made these replicas of the curling stone for them to carry to go to the first U.S. Women's National in Wisconsin, in 1959, I believe.

APPRAISER: It is fashion.

It is sport, but make it fashion.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: So, it's made of fiberglass.

GUEST: Correct.

APPRAISER: And it's got a, uh, magnet closure.

And it's painted, and it looks just like a stone.

GUEST: The article said it was an exact replica, which I believe they're 42-pound granite stones.

It's very similar, just the weight is different.

APPRAISER: Just, just a little bit, yeah.

GUEST: (chuckling): Just the weight, yeah.

APPRAISER: At auction today, $1,000 to $1,500.

GUEST: Wow, you're kidding.

That's amazing.

APPRAISER: It's fabulous.
