Appraisal Day at Garst Museum
"It's worth how much?" "Wow, I had no idea?" We all heard these responses from visitors to the Antiques Roadshow on TV. Now you will get your chance to bring two of your favorite antiques to Garst Museum and find out what Steve Bemiller of Garth's Auctioneers and Appraisers says they are worth. Mr. Bemiller is executive vice-president of Garth's, located in Delaware, Ohio. They are known for dealing with high-end antiques. It should be noted that Mr. Bemiller has no interest in purchasing any item you present. He will just give you his opinion based on his 38 years in the antique business. Garth's is donating their services, so all the proceeds from this event will go to benefit Garst Museum.
