Is the old piece of furniture sitting in your attic a valuable vintage artifact or a dusty piece of junk?

That is the question many people will be asking at the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society's Antiques Roadshow event at Leigh Square this month.

Appraisers will be on hand to assess the value of everything from old coins and collectibles to small furniture and antiques when the event kicks off.

Linda Devine is one professional appraiser who will be at the show, specializing in vintage jewellery and gold.

She will be joined by James Finlay, who is an art consultant with a knowledge of paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints, and Jeff Harris, who specializes in European and Asian art.

Ed Tokarek will also be available to appraise English furniture, Native art and general antiques.

An item can be appraised for $10 with two additional items costing $5 each. A maximum of three items can be appraised per person.

The event will take place in the workroom at The Outlet in Port Coquitlam on Saturday, Sept. 24, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
