Bring your treasures for appraisal

To the Editor:

What’s in your attic?

Are you curious about the value of an old piece of furniture, or art, or china, or clothing? How about some old coins, or maybe a rare book or jewelry, or something that you don’t even know what it is?

The Rensselaerville Historical Society is offering you the chance to get an expert estimate of value — an appraisal — of your antiques and historic pieces.

Just come to the third annual “Attic Treasures,” an antiques-roadshow type of event being held by the society.

You are invited to bring your “treasures” to Attic Treasures Appraisal Day at Conkling Hall in Rensselaerville on Sunday, Sept. 15, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

You should register online if you plan to bring an item for appraisal. Admission is $10, which includes one appraisal. There will be a five-dollar charge for each additional item.

To register, and for more information, including a list of appraisers, go to:  rensselaervillehistoricalsociety.weebly.com.

The Rensselaerville Historical Society is a volunteer, educational organization that serves the town of Rensselaerville. It operates the historic Grist Mill exhibit space and archives in the hamlet of Rensselaerville.
