GUEST: I was helping some friends clear out their house for an estate sale, and no one else wanted it-- that's it.
APPRAISER: So they gave it to you?
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: You didn't have to pay anything for it?
GUEST: Nothing.
APPRAISER: It was designed by a designer named Verner Panton, one of the most important architects, designers of the 20th century working in Denmark. He died just a few years ago, and this is one of his most iconic designs. It's called the Cone Chair, because of its distinctive shape. This model is a very early model, and it dates from the earliest production period, of about 1958. It has the Plus Line label inside. The early construction is also noted with a metallic interior, and it's wrapped in vinyl. Now, the condition is not in great shape, so the value is not quite as high as if it was in perfect condition. In this condition, because it's an early model, it would sell for about $800.
GUEST: Wow. Pretty good, for nothing.
APPRAISER: Pretty good for free, right?
