Episode #109
A thrilling tale of a WWII plane crash in an area between India and Burma was captured by ANTIQUES ROADSHOW cameras in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during an appraisal of native artifacts brought in by the pilot's granddaughter. Years later, a series of wild coincidences enables "Antiques Roadshow Fyi" to update that story, complete with original newsreel footage of the pilot's rescue. Later, appraiser David Lackey opens his Houston, Texas, home for a special tour of his vast and eclectic collections, and Clay chats with expert Allan Katz about the hot market for American folk art trade signs. Appraiser Arlie Sulka caps the show with the story of an extreme makeover turned extreme mystery: A magnificent Tiffany screen commissioned for the White House in 1882 by Chester A. Arthur was dismantled – perhaps even destroyed – in 1904, at the behest of Teddy Roosevelt. A century later, rumors have surfaced that pieces of the screen may still exist.
