So here are the objects I'm taking to Antiques Roadshow. I don't have high hopes for them, but we'll see. I decided not to look them up on ebay; I'm just hoping for a pleasant surprise.
The first item here is a toy motor boat. I hope they ask me what I know about it. Then I can say "Well, it's well known that in the mid-17th century, famous American Indian Red Cloud was big into boats. And here, as you can plainly see, is a boat." Then I'd stop there and let them respond. I suspect that would be followed by several awkward moments of silence.
The second thing I'm bringing is bluebird cookie jar. It's below this post, in case you're interested. My idea with this, if it doesn't make it on TV, is to go on the feedback booth after the appraisals are done and say that even though it's not worth a lot of money, it's still worth a lot to me. Then I'd open it up and eat a cookie out of it. Ah, that'd be great.
Anyway, I'll report back how everything went. I'll try and get myself behind all the people that are being recorded. Hopefully, they tolerate a lot there.
