Eash, a member of the Certified Appraisers Guild of America with extensive experience appraising, writing, and speaking about antiques and collectibles.  She is also the coordinator of the Milwaukee Public Television Annual Appraisal Fair and and an instructor at UW-Waukesha (CE classes).  She writes regular columns for Country Woman Magazine and Waukesha Freeman Media newspapers.  Some ares of expertise include ivory, lamps, textiles, dolls, tribal art, glassware, and furniture.  For furniture, Barbara suggests bringing a photo, measurements, and a drawer, if possible.  Barbara does not appraise coins, stamps, or firearms.
