Antiquing Saved My Life
Don Hinkle, Senior Pastor at Yucaipa Christian Church in California shares a lesson in hidden values.
“Antiquing,” the lady said on TV, “saved my life!”
That’ll get your attention. At least it sure got mine. I was drifting through the stages of a lazy Memorial Day Monday afternoon when I heard the phrase.
My oldest daughter had turned on a PBS program that features experts telling collectors what they’ve brought in to be evaluated and appraised is either junk or an incredible treasure.
This lady, in her mid-to-late 70s, had brought in a Duncan Phyfe sewing table. The value—which she already somewhat knew—was good, but the appraisal, I think, surprised her.
It was valued at $100,000 plus. That’s what a collector would pay for the piece.
Amazing.
