Lee Richels has a Carnival glass vase appraised by Terry Smith last year.

Have you ever wondered just how much those treasured family heirlooms are worth?

You can find out Monday, October 22 and Tuesday, October 23 at Daly House Museum when antiques expert Terry Smith visits.

Smith offered a similar session last year that was a successful fundraiser for the Museum. He is back this year by popular demand.

"We could not accommodate everyone last year," curator Eileen

Trott said in a release Friday. "So we’ve added a second day."

She adds: "We had a variety of items from jewellery to vases, some of which turned out to be very valuable."

The fee to have an item assessed is $7, or three items for $20. Proceeds go to the Museum.
Interested owners may book a time by calling the Museum at 204-727-1722.
