Walberg at the Embroiderer's Guild of America in Louisville, Kentucky. At the Kentucky International Convention Center, ROADSHOW appraisers stitch together a colorful assortment of finds, including a rare, circa 1910 Dirk Van Erp lamp, originally bought for about $100; an exceptionally well-preserved 1876 portrait Jumeau doll with all original parts, except her hair; and a fortunate Kentucky corner cupboard - at one time destined to be burned and thrown away - made of locally grown wood and valued at $8,500. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/5671-1215/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/5671-1215/rss Sat, 21 Nov 09 15:00:00 -0700 This "Roadshow" special edition puts family folklore to the test. Did that refinished chair once seat royalty? Did a tall tale get passed down with a tall chest? "Relative Riches" demonstrates the proof is in the provenance. Highlights include a bow and quiver purported to have been made and signed by Chief Geronimo; a carved emerald and ruby ring that would benefit from a bill of sale; and a questionable 1815 Kentucky corner cupboard that might have more value as firewood than furniture. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/5671-1319/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/5671-1319/rss Mon, 23 Nov 09 19:00:00 -0700 "Antiques Roadshow" lifts the lid on 10 years of treasures with this special edition designed to test the memory of hardcore fans and kindle the curiosity of newcomers.
