DoctorAtomic April 2, 2023 Share April 2, 2023 (edited) Actually, yes. I didn't think you had to bring something. All I had was a Bulova watch from I thought the 40s. I got to meet Kevin Zavian, and he thought it was in great condition. He actually called the other guy over to look at it. Turns out it was from the 60s, but they really liked it. They even knew it wasn't the original watch band, which I had replaced. It's a great watch because it's powered by your body heat and doesn't need a battery or winding. I saw a few things being filmed so I'm interested to see what they're all about. They weren't allowing people as an audience, so to speak. I spent a few hours checking out the gardens and all of the stuff people brought. I talked to a local PBS guy that produces and hosts an outdoor show. He was thrilled that the show got me more into hiking. Normally you have to pay for admission to the gardens, but it was all free and you could stay as long as you wanted.

I love Alaska, even though I’ve experienced it only via an inside passage cruise. But we plan to book a Denali tour in the near future.

Driad January 7 Share January 7 I didn't see this episode, but I don't enjoy seeing people getting overly excited and celebratory about the value of an item. I'm much more interested in the histories of the items. My favorite was several years ago. A man brought in a large ceramic plaque and was told it was worth $500. He said something like "That's a relief. I like having it on my wall.

DoctorAtomic January 19 Share January 19 I posted in here a while back when I went. I didn't know you had to bring something. I thought you could just go. I brought my grandfather's watch. It's a Bulova that doesn't need a battery and goes on your body heat. I only wear it when I'm flying. So I got in that line and chatted up everyone. I got to see Kevin Zavian, and he was so impressed with the condition of the watch that he called over the other guy (name escapes me) to look at it, who correctly knew that the band wasn't original. I had it replaced because the original band just broke. (I was in another city when that happened, and went to a jewelry store to get a new band. The woman who fixed it at the time said she only saw that kind of watch once before, and just loved the design. She thought it was from the 40s. Turns out a friend of mine has a Bulova from the 70s, and it looks completely different.) The watch was actually from the 60s. They both really liked the watch though and commended me on taking care of it. They called the watch 'crusty'. The event was at the Boise botanical gardens, so I walked around to view the gardens and kind of peeked in on other stuff, but it was hard to horn in because everyone was just in line and you couldn't get in the way. I thought it would be more social than it was. I saw paintings, toys, instruments, all that. I wanted to talk to some of the experts when they were on a break because one of them is from where I grew up, but it just doesn't work like that. I did get to talk to one of of the local PBS hosts about an outdoors show I watch, and that was a lot of fun. I'm actually briefly on screen in the background, looking very jaunty because I was having such a wonderful day. I probably stayed at least three hours if not four. You got free parking too. The venue made it worthwhile. If you like the show, I'd say just grab something and go. 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/47156-antiques-roadshow-us-general-discussion/page/4/#findComment-8558372
