Episode #126
"Antiques Roadshow Fyi" correspondent Clay Reynolds discovers the owner of a Simon Halbig-made Joan of Arc doll – appraised for $1,500 at the San Diego, California, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW event. Then, Matt Burstein of Burma Design in Cambridge, Massachusetts, demonstrates the age-old furniture restoration methods he uses with a stunning chestnut and mahogany desk as his model. Next, appraiser David Lackey offers hope to anyone who's ever lost or broken a piece of grandma's heirloom crystal as he introduces the crystal matching service that tracks down patterns and complementary pieces to make a collection – and maybe even a family – complete again. Wrapping up the episode is expert Chris Jussel's story of a unique punch bowl, commissioned by Eleanor Roosevelt in celebration of her husband's successful re- election campaign for governor of New York. Viktor Schreckengost's Jazz Bowl was so well liked that he produced several more for the Roosevelts and about 150 pieces for commercial distribution. 2004 marks Schreckengost's 100th birthday and a call to find the roughly 100 bowls not presently accounted for in museums and private collections – a treasure hunt worth a grand total of $25,000,000!
