Kerwick Appraisal Silver Worksheet
Page # Use
this area to organize your pages.
Location/Room This is where
the item is presently located. Hint: Try to follow the same logical
order when listing items, such as going clockwise around the area, or top
shelf/drawer to bottom shelf/drawer.
Quantity List
how many of this item are in this location.
If it’s a pair, such as salad serving set, put 2.
Item Name the
item in a 1 or 2 word description. For
example: “Flatware Set “ or “Tea Set with Tray”.
$ 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.
Country Write
in the country where the item was made or circle the appropriate area. Check for a mark on the bottom.
Material Circle
one of the words and add what you know, such as: “Silver on copper” or “800”
Marks Copy marks, stamps,
drawings, etc. here as well as monograms and any engravings. Use the bottom of the page if you need to.
Description/History Add as much
information as you can that would help someone distinguish this item from
others like it. For example: how
many candles does it hold or does it come with a box? Does it have repairs? If you know any
history mention it here. For example:
Inherited from your grandmother or bought it in 1998 and paid $2500.00
Size Measure your item. At least measure how tall it is and weigh it
if in Troy ounces.
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.
