APPRAISER: Here we have a picture of Lookout Mountain. This came out of your husband's grandmother's family, is that right? And she... they're...
GUEST: Yes, yes, they're from Lookout Mountain.
APPRAISER: And it is a Currier & Ives, it says on it. And your question was, is it real, right?
GUEST: Is it real, right, right.
APPRAISER: Well, good news, it is real.
GUEST: Oh, good, okay.
APPRAISER: It is an original large folio Currier & Ives print...
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: ...and it's one of the better regional ones that they did.
GUEST: Really? Okay.
APPRAISER: Yeah. It's partly cause it's a great image of Lookout Mountain.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: And certainly if your family came from there, that's of interest, but it's a great American landscape. But also, it's got a train in it, and train prints are very desirable. The color on it is excellent. All those things are very good for the value.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: And it's worth quite a bit of money.
GUEST: Oh. Okay.
APPRAISER: In this kind of condition, it's worth about $5,000 to $5,500.
GUEST: Oh, okay, great.
APPRAISER: (chuckling): Yeah. Now, that's in this condition. It needs some work. Those spots can be cleaned up. Well worth doing, okay?
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: It would probably cost you maybe $400 or $500 to fix that up, but well worth it. Add about $1,000, so then it would be worth about $6,000 to $6,500.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: It would also help preserve it.
GUEST: Okay, great, thank you.
APPRAISER: It's a great thing.
