Old Lyme residents Norman and Linda Legassie (center and left in photo respectively) will be in hand next Sunday to give appraisals at the Old Lyme Historical Society’s ‘Vintage!’ event.

Vintage! the Old Lyme Historical Society’s  antiques appraisal event will take place today from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Old Lyme Town Hall, 52 Lyme Street, Old Lyme. Each verbal appraisal costs $5 per item with a three item limit per person.

Appraisers will be available with expertise covering a broad range of antiques specialties including books, toys, textiles, farm tools, precious metal jewelry, and artwork. If you’re a fan of the “Antiques Roadshow” or if you’ve been wondering what some of your vintage items are worth, this event is for you!

This year’s appraisers are Norman and Linda Lagassie of Stepping Stones Antiques, Steven Lutar of the Guilford Coin Exchange, Curt Wendler, an expert in books, autographs and photos, Billy Messina of the Clinton Antiques Center, Joy Hanes of Hanes and Ruskin Antiques, and Nancy Hoffman, a long-time antiques dealer specializing in textiles and early country items.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Old Lyme Historical Society’s scholarship fund. Each year a scholarship is awarded to an Old Lyme senior who plans to major in history in college. Students living in Old Lyme, including those who attend schools elsewhere, are eligible to apply.

To make a donation, send a check to OLHS, PO Box 352, Old Lyme, CT.
