Appraiser Fair

What are your prized possessions worth? Come to the St. Clement's Island Museum in Colton’s Point, MD where appraisers for jewelry, dolls, U.S. Coins and Fine Arts items (furniture, pottery, artwork, music boxes, old paper documents, glassware, and small antiques) will be available to share expert knowledge and dollar values of your precious heirlooms or curiosity pieces. The event takes place between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and items will be viewed on a first come, first served basis. Fees are as follows: • Dolls, coins, and jewelry items are $5 for the first two items and $10 per additional item. • Fine arts items and collectibles are $5 per item with a TWO ITEM LIMIT. Only bring items that can be hand carried. Appraisers will not provide certified appraisals at this event but you can arrange for an appointment at a later date. Also, a member of the Washington Conservation Guild will be on hand to offer advice on how to conserve and preserve your precious items and heirlooms from books and photographs to pottery and paintings. There will be a free chocolate tasting inside the Crab Claw Museum Store of American Heritage Chocolate, made by the Historic Division of MARS, Inc. The museum is located at 38370 Point Breeze Road, Colton's Point, MD and takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is brought to you by the St. Mary’s County Museum Division and the St. Mary’s County Board of Commissioners.
