Appraisal Fair

Friends of the East Troy Lions Public Library will sponsor an Appraisal Fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 21 at Ivan's on the Square, 2087 Division Street.  Funds generated will support popular library programs, such as the Summer Reading Program, Art Workshops, and the Makerspace Program.

The appraiser is Barbara J. 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.
