What are you worth? Tough to say, really, with all the intangibles out there and worth not being just about the fat or thin wallet. The stuff one accumulates is often subject to the same arbitrary, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, problem.

Little Susie’s homemade ashtray? Priceless and also worth nothing. A dusty painting of some fishermen fighting out a late summer squall done by great-grandpa Obediah, the one who lost an arm during a bull fighting exhibition? Again, tough to say.

Time to bring in the professionals.

This weekend the Martha’s Vineyard Museum is doing just that when it holds its ever popular appraisal weekend hosted by Stuart Whitehurst, Vice President of Skinner, Inc and Sara Wishart. Today, Dec. 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. is an open house where everyone is invited to bring in one item for appraisal not including coins, stamps, jewelry, and musical instruments. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be provided. The cost is $50.

On Saturday, Dec. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. guests may bring in up to three items for appraisal. The cost is $15 per item or three for $40. Call 508-627-4441, ext. 110 or email bbingham@mvmuseum.org for reservations.
