What’s the value of that painting you inherited from your grandmother? What about that baseball card you’ve been saving since you were 10? These and other items in your home could be trash — or hidden treasure.  If you don’t know the value of what you’re saving, the upcoming, 2^nd Annual Assessment Fair, hosted by the Estero Historical Society on Nov. 12 and 13, will give you a chance to find out.

Most people don’t really know what their antique or vintage items are worth in today’s market. During this two-day event, Richard Gannon, president of Gannon’s Antiques and Art Center, will evaluate all kinds of items — jewelry, coins, lamps, statuary, artwork, furniture, sports memorabilia, auto parts and more.

Each evaluation requires a donation of $15 that goes directly to support the work of the Estero Historical Society. People interested in participating should register in advance for a specific time slot on the historical society’s website: esterohistoricalsociety.com.
