Do you have any unrealized treasures lurking in your attic or garage?

Perhaps a favourite family collection piece has recently been passed on to you.

Well, this is your opportunity to find out their worth.

Well-known antiques appraiser Al Bowen will be on hand to identify and date objects from any historical period, providing a detailed history, description and verbal appraisal of your objects.

More than just providing a market value for your object, Bowen shares his amazing wealth of knowledge through entertaining anecdotes from more than 30 years in the antique appraisal business.

After your objects have been appraised, you can stay for refreshments while hearing about other people's treasures.

The clinics will be held in the museum's annex, 4918 Delta St.

There are two sessions: 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m.

The cost is $12 per person, which includes a verbal identification and appraisal of two objects. Additional objects are $5 each to a maximum of two additional objects.

Observers are welcome at $5 per person.

Space is limited, so preregistration and payment is required. Call 6049469322 or stop by the Delta Museum, 4858 Delta St., or the Delta Archives, 4450 Clarence Taylor Cres., to purchase your ticket.
