GUEST: I came across this fan and it was probably in the 1990s and I used to go to some West Hartford, Connecticut shows and they were vintage shows with various jewelry and materials.

And the fan just spoke to me.

So I've always loved Victorian pieces... APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.

GUEST: ...and it's the cra-- Victorian craftsmanship.

This one looked beautiful.

I saw it was Tiffany.

Appriaser: What did you pay for it back then?

GUEST: $50.

APPRAISER: Wow!

That's a-- that was a great... GUEST: It was a great price.

APPRAISER: Yeah!

So you have a 19th century Tiffany lace fan.

It's in its original silk-covered Tiffany box.

It has wonderful hand needle lace in the fan... GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: with mother of pearl guards and sticks.

And then what was really exciting was the loop at the bottom which is also marked Tiffany.

And then we also found another marking next to the "Tiffany" which was "14K."

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: And that's what was really exciting.

You have a little bit of gold there.

And as we know, the value of gold is just going up and up and up.

The condition is, is really nice.

You do have some discoloration along the bottom, where I think that's where it adhered to, uh, the sticks.

Tiffany would have put these out in the stores as kind of like an entry point for maybe a husband to buy his wife a Tiffany gift.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

Oh.

APPRAISER: So didn't have to go straight to the jewelry.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: You know, they also offered these other ladies' accessories during this time period.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: If it was just a lace fan with mother of pearl, I'd give it an auction estimate of about $100.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: With the box, $350.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: Then you have the golds.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: And that's really where-- where the value is coming from.

I'd give it an auction estimate of $800 to $1,200.

GUEST: (chuckling) Ooh, that is just wonderful.

APPRAISER: Yeah.

GUEST: I've enjoyed the show tremendously today.

APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

GUEST: So, it's been fantastic.
