GUEST: Well, the history of the family goes, it came down through my great-great-uncle, and my, it was passed on to me from my grandfather.
APPRAISER: This is actually a Zulu dance spear, and there're some elements that are really cool. This is horn here, and these little dots are actually bone. Down here we have the same inlay. This is really a terrific example. I think this easily could be mid-19th century, so 1850 at the earliest.
GUEST: Oh, wow-- it's older than I thought.
APPRAISER: And at a good auction, I would say $800 to $1,200.
GUEST: Oh, wow, excellent!
