Ok, I know this is not 'classic' old, but I wanted a spot to share cool Antiques Roadshow finds.
I love automatons, and here's a beautiful one. It's a clown magician. Weirdly, this is not the exact clip that was on the show I watched earlier.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Re: Antiques Roadshow
Cool! That's the first one of those I've ever seen, though I've heard the name. That's well-made; I can see how it would have been expensive.

When I first saw this doll, I said "wow" out loud. It sure is beautiful. It's a Kammer & Reinhardt doll, ca 1915. Here is the clip of the appraisal from the PBS website. It's funny how many of these appraisals leave me in tears!!!

Re: Antiques Roadshow
Wow...that's something, isn't it. I wonder if she's going to sell it or keep it. That might be a hard decision to make, in some cases.
Re: Antiques Roadshow
If it was me, I'd keep it forever! It was special to her grandmother, so I feel it should stay in the family.

Re: Antiques Roadshow
I agree—that's probably what she did!

Re: Antiques Roadshow
That is amazing, for sure! Roy and Dale were indeed extraordinary people. He's a good one to share a birthday with.

This is pretty cool, a set of silent film sound effect instruments.

Re: Antiques Roadshow
That's pretty neat. I'd like to see the all demonstrated.
