Photos and story by Monty Siekerman
Anne Stratton, an antique appraiser for the past 56 years, tells Kyle Casper that the value of a hat that he brought for appraisal is probably worth $75 to $100.

The cap, from the 1940 World's Fair in New York City, belonged to his dad.

Mrs. Stratton gave free appraisals on items that local residents brought to the Ada Public Library on Wednesday evening.

She also talked about what's hot and what's not currently in the antique world.
