Antiques Roadshow

GUEST

That belonged to my grandmother. Uh, she worked for a wealthy businessman down in Kalamazoo, and, uh, she was his housekeeper and cook. And, uh, in the harder times, during the Depression, he started paying her with some of his items from the home. So this is one of those items.

APPRAISER

It's marked "Handel." The Handel family in Meriden, Connecticut, from the late 19th into the early 20th century, made a very wide range of very high-quality Tiffany-style and other lamps of that period.

GUEST

Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER

Now, this one is just referred to as a scenic overlay. Really good patination, in good shape, a wonderful look. Uh, any idea of value?

GUEST

None whatsoever.

APPRAISER

I think an easy auction estimate would be $4,000 to $6,000.

GUEST

Oh, very nice.

APPRAISER

Okay, very good.

GUEST

Very nice, thank you.

APPRAISER

And thanks very much for bringing it.

GUEST

Thank you.
