What's It Worth??

The Prices 4 Antiques database has been around since 1999 and is a great source for researching antiques, collectibles and fine art. The information in the database includes data from over 140 U.S. auction houses, with more than 50 national and regional auction houses covered on a regular basis. There are approximately 1,300 categories in the database and each record has at least one full-color photograph. Some of the categories included are advertising, architectural, autographs, books, bottles, clocks & watches, crafts & folklore, dolls, ephemera, firearms, furniture, games, glass, jewelry, kitchen & household, music, nautical, paintings, pottery & porcelain, textiles, toys, and tools. Each category is then further divided, giving the user a wide range of choices for their search. As the site states: "Prices 4 Antiques' records are routinely used to learn what was paid for a specific item listed in the database, to estimate the value of similar items for sale, purchase, or insurance purposes and to support values in a formal appraisal or in a family division of property." Updated daily, this is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in the fascinating world of antiques and collectibles.
