APPRAISER: How long ago?
GUEST: Oh, could have been 40 years ago, because she had it a long time before I got it.
APPRAISER: So, do you know what it is?
GUEST: It's a Pennsylvania German fraktur.
APPRAISER: Fraktur, or Taufscheine, they called them, also.
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: And what's unusual about this, and why I was so excited, is that it's hand-drawn.
Many of them are printed.
GUEST: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And some of them are kind of common.
But this, with the distelfink and the early, early date is really very, very rare.
When you first look at it, it's so bright, you think it can't be old.
But it's got some damage.
And when you look at it under light...
GUEST: Oops.
APPRAISER: ...you know that it is definitely very early, early date.
Now, whoever conserved this did a wonderful job, because part of our job is to preserve it for the next hundred years.
Well, conservatively, we've estimated it between $4,000 and $6,000.
If this damage wasn't here-- and you might be able to get some of this taken care of-- it would probably be in the $10,000 range.
GUEST: Oh, thank you.
APPRAISER: Are you surprised?
(laughing) GUEST: Oh, thank you, thank you, APPRAISER: of course.
GUEST: Thank you loads!
