I decided to look through and see what I could find.
And on the bottom of these books, was this piece-- cruddy, dirty, and I thought I'd buy it.
And I went up to the desk and I said, "how much?"
And they said, oh, a dollar.
So I bought it for a dollar.
APPRAISER: Well... what you have got here, uh, for your information, is a, a Russian-- czarist Russian silver plique-à-jour, it's, which is a French word, uh, little candy basket.
Plique-à-jour is glass, multicolored glass.
It's all set in, in this pattern between little bands of sterling silver.
It's very colorful when there's light behind it.
It was made in the last quarter of the 19th century in Moscow and in Russia.
And your dollar that you spent at that church fair, uh, was a very fine investment, because this would easily sell, uh, at auction, in the range of $2,500 to $3,500.
GUEST: Interesting.
APPRAISER: What do you think about that?
GUEST: Sounds good.
Sounds good.
Candy ought to taste pretty good in there.
