GUEST: My father's mother owned the chair and she got it from family friends in Ohio. It sat up in the attic of my parents' home for a long time, because when I was a kid, I used to go up in the attic, and it had a old cracked leather seat with horse hair falling out of it.
APPRAISER: Yeah, I believe it.
GUEST: And so I would say it's been in the family about 100 years.
APPRAISER: All right. I think the chair was... It's made in America. Made, I think, at a furniture manufactury. We see a lot of these crazy, turn-of-the-century, so-called Victorian chairs. But this one, I think, is way above average. We see granny with her, literally, her granny glasses. And she has this halo, it's a shell or a rising sun, and these outrageous finials of stalks of corn. At some point, it probably had a dark finish. That was removed, but in doing so, you did reveal the fact that it's made out of cherrywood, which is very beautiful wood.
GUEST: Oh.
APPRAISER: The fact that they're memorializing Grandma at the turn of the century, there's, there's a sweet, sentimental quality about this that I find very appealing. I think it would be probably worth somewhere between $800 and $1,200.
GUEST: Champion.
APPRAISER: (laughing) Yeah.
