There are two lovely pieces from my father’s family home in England that we could take to the Roadshow if our entry is chosen…

.

One is a gorgeous little clock we keep on our mantle.

.

.

But while pretty, it’s not unusual or of unknown value.

.

.

£1,400 in 2014 is £2,003.12 today, which converts to $2,591.49 US… so not bad. But not mysterious enough for the Roadshow.

The other is a silver plated cigarette box that family lore says was purchased at auction for a relief fund during WWI.

The sides have the allied leaders…

.

.

The top a battle scene with a Rudyard Kipling quote.

.

.

Personally I love the paw feet.

They’ve sold for under $500 and while an interesting historical piece, it isn’t on my Roadshow list.
