The Marshall (WI) Friends of the Library had Mark for an Antique
Appraisal event earlier this month. I went over to "observe" as we,
The Waterloo Area Historical Society were also contacted for an
appraisal event next year by Mark. Marshall and Waterloo are four
miles apart. There were many Waterloo people over at the event held
in Marshall. I thought Mark did a super job of appraising and people
could come and listen and observe what he said, as it was set up so
everyone could see and hear. However, we decided not to entertain the
idea of having Mark in April next year as we thought we might be, as
recently our Antique Mall has hired a person who is certified to do
appraising. We would use it as a fund raiser, Marshall Friends of the
Library had 19 people pay $15 for the appraisal, $10 went to Mark and
$5 to the Friends. I am not sure if mileage or other extra costs were
involved.
Hope this helps in your decision making, Maureen Giese, Waterloo Area
Historical Society
