For What It Is Worth!!

Mike Kelly was commissioned to find the value of various artifacts supplied by our members. The first item, from President Johas, was a copper horse that was given to his mother from his father from one of their anniversaries. The piece was worth $200.

Tony brought in a pin that had the inscription on the back (Vella Ford). It turns out to be the Great Aunt of Rotarian Ken Ruzich. (it was later told to me that Tony did not have any items, so he hit up Ken for some stuff). The pin is worth $50-$75.

Rick brought in some items that he had no idea what they were worth. He brought in some rings that he inherited from different relatives. Come to find out that those rings were costume rings and had no real value. He also had a pocket watch that was made in the 1920's. It was great to find out that the watch was worth 15 times the original value. Unfortunately, the original cost was around $1.00.

Carol brought in a pocket watch that was made in 1892. The piece had an estimated value at $350.
