Antiques Roadshow: Salt Lake City

What's the value of an 1857 Mormon advertisement on textile and a copy of Brigham Young’s Invasion Proclamation? Watch Monday, October 1, 2012 at 7pm.

At Salt Lake City’s Utah Museum of Natural History, appraiser Gary Piattoni introduces ANTIQUES ROADSHOW host Mark Walberg to the world of the rock hound and the market in minerals. At the Salt Palace Convention Center, ROADSHOW appraisers hit a mother lode of precious objects, including a set of clubs once owned by Utah golf legend George “Gix” Von Elm, who won the U.S. Open Amateur in 1926; a set of beautiful 18th-century Chinese white jade carvings; and a pair of rare documents: a Mormon advertisement on textile and a copy of Brigham Young’s Invasion Proclamation — both issued in 1857, during hostilities between the Mormons in Utah and the U.S. government — valued at $10,000 to $15,000.

Market Warriors – New Episode

Search for the best piece of art pottery. Watch Monday, September 24, 2012 at 8pm.

This week on MARKET WARRIORS, our pickers (Miller, John, Bob and Kevin) return to one of the largest markets in the world, the Brimfield Antique Show in Brimfield, MA. As off-screen host Mark L. Walberg describes, they scour the 16 fields of vendors in search of the best piece of art pottery. Some notable picks include a Rookwood vase and a painted blanket chest. In this week’s episode, one picker is drawn to an item that will bring them great rewards while another buys a forgery that will cause them to second-guess their knowledge. Later in the episode, the pickers team up (Bob and Kevin against John and Miller) in a round to buy an object to re-sell it the same day. Their finds go under the hammer at Cowan’s Auction in Cincinnati, Ohio.
