Antique Appraisal Fair This Sunday in Tamaqua

If your attic, basement or even your living room has any unusual or interesting antique items sitting around and you have always wondered what its value is or in some cases, what the heck was that used for?

Why not bring it out this Sunday September 9th to the Tamaqua Historical Society’s Antique Appraisal Faire conducted by a certified antique appraiser and dealer from the Lehigh Valley. This fun and educational event will be held from 1 to 4 PM in the Tamaqua Museum Annex at 114 West Broad Street in Tamaqua.

“This is the second event of its kind presented by the society following a very popular and successful first time event held a year ago” said Society President Dale Freudenberger.

Last year people brought in many antique items including slag glass lamps, pretty dishes, rare maps, art glass, a miniature photo of Abraham Lincoln in a gold frame, antique clocks, Victorian porcelain statues, handmade quilts and more.

The appraiser will not appraise artwork, firearms and weaponry, or coins and currency.

There is a limit of 3 items per person brought in to the appraisal faire and a charge of $5.00 per item to be appraised.

No reservation or appointments are needed and all proceeds benefit the Tamaqua Historical Society. Admission to the event is free.
