I love that show. I'd love to have two things looked at...one is a china cabinet that is on my Moms side of the family that was my great, great grandmothers and the other is a three headed dog statue that my grandmother was given. Neither one has ever been appraised and no one seems to know anything about them. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I wish I did! My kids always ask me about that when we are watching it. "Do WE have any family heirlooms?". Nope. We just have stuff. lol

Hi anniefannie! I love that show!!! I go to the flea markets and always pick jars and stuff up to see if they have some kind of signature or something of interest on them..lol..I have not found anything yet. I do have some rings my grandmother left me that she has had for many many years. I don't know if they're worth anything as far as money but they are worth the world to me.

i AM SURE THAT ALL OLD FAMILYES HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN HOUSE. I have a lot of stuff from my grandparents, and i keep it in my house. Old books, some furniture, who have a great value, a lot of old photos, a nice box, have 200 years i think for jewelery, some paints...i like antiques a lot, and i know that a house is more worm with this old stuff inside...and keep ours memory about our family.
