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.

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW wraps up its visit to the Cream City, Milwaukee, Wisconsin — nicknamed for the locally manufactured, off-white bricks that mark the city's mid-19th-century architecture. At the Midwest Airlines Center, ROADSHOW experts pave the way for some unique discoveries, including a valuable Persian rug the owner used to cover furniture in the rain; a stained glass figurine originally commissioned for the owner of horse racing legend Dan Patch; and two milestone game baseballs, autographed by Milwaukee Braves legend Warren Spahn — one from Spahn's 327th winning game, which made him the winningest left-handed pitcher of all time, and the other from Spahn's 300th winning game, the gold standard for pitchers. Auction value for the pair could hit $11,000 to $14,000.

I loved that lady's pin collection! She had some awesome costume jewelry.

The one I missed was the Keno brothers and someone with a giant hutch or china cabinet. What was that thing, and didn't it end up being over $350,000?

OMG that lady's pins were great. Such a neat collection she had.

Quote:

Claiborne from Milwaukee brought in a handsome mahogany desk and bookcase that he said his family has owned for many years. He said the piece originated with his wife's ancestor, Richard D. Hubbard, who was governor of Connecticut in the late 1870s.
If the top and the base were a marriage of separate pieces, such an exquisite pairing of furniture might fetch $20,000. But if its authenticity as an original set were verified, the Kenos said Claiborne's masterpiece could be worth as much as $250,000.

Go to Antiques Roadshow/2006 Tour/Milwaukee, Wisconsin and then scroll to the bottom. They have the video clip and pics of this desk

One day I just know I"m going to strike it rich in my rummaging!!

I went looking around on the ARS website and found this. I think it's the one to which you refer.

Nice piece. Look around...there's loads of treasures sitting right under your nose...or next to it.
