Appraisal Roadshow Comes to Potomac on Sunday, Nov. 1

Do you own an inherited piece of jewelry, a silver tea service, an antique clock, piece of art, or some other heirloom you’re curious about? On Sunday, November 1st at 2:30 p.m., you’ll have an opportunity to get a free, professional appraisal of its value and expert advice on what you can do with it.

Presented by Potomac Community Village, the Appraisal Roadshow will take place at the Potomac Community Center, 11315 Falls Road, Potomac. During the show, a gemologist from Paradigm Experts and a guest generalist appraiser will educate the audience about the market for these personal valuables while they assess the history and value of the items brought in by the guests.

Appraisals provided will be verbal assessments, with no more than one item per person appraised. Those wanting an appraisal should send in a description and photo of the item to Roadshow@PotomacCommunityVillage.org by Wednesday, Oct. 28, in order to allow time for the appraisers to research items in advance.

Admission to the Roadshow is free, and is open to all, but it will help us if you reserve in advance so we have enough seating and refreshments. For more information about this exciting event and to reserve your seat, please contact Roadshow@PotomacCommunityVillage.org, or 240-221-1370.
