Ever have an antique sitting on a shelf, tucked away in a drawer or sitting in a corner and wonder if it is valuable?

Anne Stratton, Lima, is an expert appraiser. She will be at the Ada Public Library from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8, to give free appraisals, two items per person, (no guns, Bibles, coins or stamps).

She has been on the popular PBS Antiques Roadshow, has appraised antiques for more than 40 years, and has done appraisals at the local library many times.

Maybe she can place a value on that old vase, painting, quilt, or photograph that you've been wondering about. Check it out.
