Which antiques are worth money?
Whether it’s your grandmother’s china, Great-Uncle Sam’s toy fire engine, or some vintage Boy Scout patches you picked up at a yard sale, the question of which antiques are worth money can be hard to answer on your own.
Values change constantly, and many items that were once insanely valuable have become quite ordinary in the Internet age.
Most online antique appraisal sites require a subscription, and you may not be able to find a local appraiser, or you may not want to broadcast the fact that you own valuable pieces.
You can get honest, expert and discreet appraisals from the verified antiques Experts at JustAnswer, quickly and easily, from the comfort of your own home. Our Experts are available 24/7, and no subscription is required. You just pay a small price for the question you want to ask.

Common antiques questions on JustAnswer
The Antiques Experts on JustAnswer have answered a diverse range of questions, such as:
- What's the value of a vintage bolo tie with what I believe to be genuine bear claws, as well as large pieces of turquoise?
- Can you help me identify this wooden mask, and tell me where it's from?
- Where should I sell this book “The Art of Maurice Sendak” by Selma G. Lanes, which is in good condition and signed by Maurice Sendak?
- We are looking for information on this tiny antique cast iron cap gun, measuring just 3-3/4 inches long overall.
- What is the value of a complete set for 12 of French Havilland china?
When preparing to consult with a UK antiques Expert, have the following information ready:
- Description of the piece
- Manufacturer and serial number if known
- Any markings of any kind
- Where it came from, if known
You should also be ready to provide clear photos taken straight on, against a plain background in good light. Photos of signatures or marks are especially important.
