Appraisals
Can I bring an item to The Henry Ford to be appraised?
No. The Henry Ford staff does not appraise or authenticate objects.
Where can I go to have my item appraised?
There are two professional associations that can assist you. They will ask you to identify your area of interest (dishes, furniture, silver etc.) and your location (city, state, area code, etc.) to direct you to a qualified appraiser.
These organizations are:
-
American Society of Appraisers
800.272.8258 or www.appraisers.org
-
Appraisers Association of America
