APPRAISER: Well, the first thing I noticed on this is how beautifully it's hand-chased.
It's sterling and it's Gorham.
It's probably late 1800s?
And what have you had done to this?
GUEST: It was always very shiny as a child growing up.
So my grandmother kept it in good shape.
My mother continued to polish it, and then she had it lacquered.
APPRAISER: Well, that's an interesting way to get something so you don't have to polish it.
GUEST: Exactly.
(both laugh) APPRAISER: Most people that collect vintage silver would like to see part of the old patina.
You might see a 30% or so reduction in the value of a piece that's been highly polished.
Replacement value on this would be at least $5,000.
GUEST: Oh, my goodness.
Grandmother, be happy.
(both laugh) It will continue to go to my granddaughter, who's already eyeing it at the dining room table.
APPRAISER: Those attractions to shiny things...
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: ...go through the family genetics, I think.
GUEST: So, I think, I think so!
(both laugh) We all like it.
