SAULT STE MARIE, MICH - On July 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Bayliss Public Library will be hosting an Antique and Collectible Appraisal event with appraiser Mark F. Moran of Iola, Wisconsin.

Due to the success of the events of the past two years, Mr. Moran is making a return visit to the Eastern Upper Peninsula. Join us for a fun, educational experience combining information, history, and entertainment.

Mark Moran has been an appraiser for more than 20 years, a guest expert on PBS’s Antiques Roadshow, a contributing editor to Antique Trader magazine, and co-author of over 25 books on antiques and collectibles.

The charge per item to be appraised is $10; you may have more than one item appraised. You must register and pay in advance at the library; space is limited. The appraisals will be verbal, not written. Estimated appraisal times will be provided, but it is best to arrive early.

You may be part of the audience for the appraisal day and watch Mark Moran in action. He will appraise most items, including: fine art, furniture, ceramics, glassware, vintage photographs, advertising, folk art, assorted toys, metalware, clocks, costume jewelry, musical instruments, books, sporting memorabilia.

He does not appraise weapons, traps, Nazi memorabilia, coins and paper money, fine jewelry, precious gems, or Beanie Babies.

Attached is a more detailed list of categories he can appraise, including some that may need advance preparation. For $75, Mr. Moran is also available to visit your home to assess your collection, if you live within 10 miles of an appraisal site. For more information, see www.markfmoran.com.

The Friends of Bayliss Library will provide refreshments at Bayliss Library. Bayliss Public Library, a Superior District Library, is located at 541 Library Drive in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. For more information, call 906-632-9331 or check www.baylisslibrary.org and Facebook.
