[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 320362, member: 152"]I have one to add: Just because you saw something similar to your item on Antiques Roadshow, it does not mean your item is anywhere near worth what you saw. My father had a simple block sharpening stone he gave to me to sell. He was convinced it was worth thousands and thousands of dollars because he had seen one similar on AR. I didn't see the one on Antiques Roadshow, but I assume it was worth so much because it was attributed to a particular maker and that maker was very much sought after. There are thousands of old sharpening stones out there that are worth very little, which I proved to him when his sold for a whopping $20.[/QUOTE]
