What's It Worth? Antiques Appraisal Event

Back by popular demand, the Andover Historical Society will host “What’s it Worth” Appraisal event with Appraiser and Auctioneer and owner of Royka Gallery in Boston, Paul Royka.“What’s It Worth?” will be held Friday March 15, 2013 from 7:00 until 9:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation located at 6 Locke Street, within a block of the Historical Society.


“What’s It Worth?” with Paul Royka will start at 7:00 p.m. Guests may bring one item to be appraised or come to listen and enjoy Royka’s entertaining and enlightening appraisals.  Tickets for the event are $15 for Andover Historical Society members and $20 for non-members.  Guests may bring items such as Fine art, Chinese art, Jewelry, Art Glass & Tiffany Studios.  Furniture may be brought in and pictures will suffice.  Firearms, coins, and stamps will not be appraised at this event.  Register Today or call the Historical Society 978-475-2236 to reserve your seats.


“What’s It Worth?” is an open format appraisal event, which has become increasingly popular as appraisers have found that guests are just as curious about the treasures brought by other guests as they are about their own.  As guests enter they register their appraisal item, place it on tables at the front of the hall, and then take a seat in the audience.  Royka will examine and discuss each item on the tables, appraising up to 50 items during the event.  Royka is an entertaining and informative speaker whose goal is to teach the audience something new with each item he examines.
