Antiques Roadshow | Behind the scenes at Shelburne Museum

Last July, Antiques Roadshow visited Vermont for the first time since the show debuted in 1997. More than 3,000 people came to the Shelburne Museum to learn what their collectibles were worth. In one day of appraisals, the Roadshow team filmed three hours’ worth of material. But the first local visit by the popular PBS series also gave Vermonters a unique look at how Antiques Roadshow is made.

I had way cooler stuff then a lot of these people with real Vermont connection and history and I didn’t get any interest from the appraisers. What happened was I was in line for the silver and medal appraisers and they had me see the guy who dose bronze statues instead of one of the silver experts. He didn’t know anything about silver and asked one of the silver experts for help but they where busy so they weren’t listening to me about the history of my silver. The silver I brought was made by two silversmiths from New York City who helped with creating the dies for the first Vermont copper coins struck in Rupert Vermont in 1785. I also hade with this group of silver a receipt for Silver that was bought by the great great grandfather of Theodore Roosevelt and made by one of these silversmiths. I’m just disappointed that they didn’t think that the Vermont history of this silver was that interesting. 😢
