If it’s a pair, such as identical lamps, put 2.
Item Name the

example: “Dining Table”, not “Antique Drop-leaf Oak Table”.
$ When
we determine the value of the item we put it here.
Date Put the
age of the item as close as you know or circle the Century. Remember, 20th Century means
between 1900 to 2000. “Antique” is considered
over 100 years old.
Country Write

stamp.
Material Circle
one of the words and add what you know, such as: Metal, Sterling Silver or
Wood, Oak.
Description/History Add as much
information as you can that would help someone distinguish this item from
others like it. For example: how many
drawers in a chest and what kind of hardware it has? Is it stained or painted ?
Does it have damage? If you know
any history mention it here. For
example: Inherited from your grandmother or bought it in 1998 and paid $255.00.
Size Measure
your item. At least measure how tall it
is.
Condition Mention
any damage and circle the condition.
Here are the definitions that Kerwick Appraisals use to define the
condition:
Excellent Like new, no restoration needed.
Good Typical for its type and age with normal wear
and tear.
Poor Restoration is needed
and would greatly enhance its present value unless the cost would exceed the
value of the item.
