Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show, add one
Barbara Gerr Antiques are specialists in American Art Pottery and will bring a dazzling selection of Roseville, Weller, Pillin, and Rookwood items. American Art Tiles, Zanesville Stoneware, and McCoy pottery will also be well represented.
Diane and Doug McElwain from Goldsboro, NC trade in antique sporting goods and country store furnishings as Sport & Spool Antiques. Customers can use this source to add to their collections or decorating projects.
Appraisals
One of the most exciting aspects of the show will be the Appraisal Center featuring appraisals by five prominent experts in antiques and collectibles. Leading the team is author, collector, and TV and radio personality Harry Rinker who many know from his weekly syndicated column, “Rinker on Collectibles” that appears in trade papers and dailies from coast to coast. Rinker’s Sunday morning call-in radio program, “Whatcha Got” on the morning of March 28th will feature exhibitors selected from the show. Appraisals will be held both Saturday and Sunday for $5.00 per item.
Joining Mr. Rinker in the professional appraisal team is Linda Roberts from White Orchid Appraisals and Cindy Charleston Rosenberg, a specialist in American and European art from the Art Appraisal Firm. Doll specialist Dorothy Hunt from Sweetbriar Auctions and jewelry specialist Paula Fox from Paula Fox Appraisals will round out the panel of experts who will be on hand to help collectors and dealers to discover the inner secrets of their attic treasures for just five dollars per appraisal.
“Dating objects is the first step in guaranteeing merchandise,” advised Mr. Rinker. “Value is also contingent on place and moment and is ever changing; it often takes experts to help guide the public, and we’ll be in Atlantic City to help.” Rinker advises visitors that if they can’t bring in an object because of size, that he will be happy to work from a photograph. He suggests that people not be worried about a long line for appraisals. Everybody will get a number and can shop the show while waiting their turn to work with an expert. Finally, Mr. Rinker reminds collectors that he and his team can appraise both antiques and collectibles. “Remember that the hottest things in today’s marketplace can be from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.”
Additional Show Features:
- Restoration by Louis will conduct and Expert Porcelain and Pottery Restoration Clinic on Saturday only.
- Paul Nulton will conduct an Expert
Glass Repair Clinic both days of the show.
