Did anyone catch antique road show on Sunday?
It was the one from when they were here in Milwaukee last year.
They also visited German Fest while here and aired some of that. Taught us how to tell a "real" stein from a fake.
You can catch another part of the Milwaukee visit

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW host Mark L. Walberg and appraiser Nicholas Lowry peruse the world's largest collection of posters by French lithographer Jules Cheret, best known for his colorful advertisements for the Moulin Rouge. At the Midwest Airlines Center, appraisers get a kick out of the objects arrayed for their evaluation including a charming 1772 needlework sampler crafted by the youngster who would become renowned clockmaker Aaron Willard's wife; a lovely circa 1890 Japanese bronze sculpture of a peasant woman and baby; and a ruby and diamond bracelet, purchased by the owner's great-grandmother — a German countess — from Austria's Empress Eugenie in the 1890s, with an auction estimate of $30,000 to $35,000.
