In Spokane, Washington, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW host Mark L. Walberg joins appraiser Kathleen Bailey at the historic E. J. Roberts mansion to look at examples of a charming Victorian
lighting fixture: the fairy lamp. At the Spokane Convention Center, appraisers brighten at the sight of such enchanting finds as a collection of pottery by twentieth-century master ceramicists Otto and Gertrude Natzler; a moving landscape painting by early twentieth-century artist-and
sometime Alaskan gold prospector-Sydney Laurence; and an heirloom Waltham railroad pocket watch with a rare winding mechanism and diamond end stone, valued at $4,000 to $6,000.

In this final episode from Spokane, Washington, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW host Mark L. Walberg and appraiser Bill Mercer visit the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture and its collection of
exquisite beaded bags, crafted by Indian tribes of the Columbia River region. Discoveries abound at the Spokane Convention Center as well, including; a circa 1900 Louis XIV-style clock, made in France and acquired by the owner’s grandfather, who owned a silvermine in Montana; a
beautifully-preserved nineteenth-century silk Heriz rug; and an heirloom desk and chair used at the United States House of Representatives from 1857 to 1873. Rarely found together-with the desks being far scarcer than the chairs-the matched pair prompts appraiser Brian Witherell of Witherell’s Americana Auctions to estimate the set’s combined valued at $40,000.

Kentucky International Convention Center

Host Mark L. Walberg welcomes ANTIQUES ROADSHOW viewers to Louisville, Kentucky, home of the world-famous Kentucky Derby. It’s also the birthplace of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, and Walberg and appraiser Mike Gutierrez head for the Muhammad Ali Center to talk about collecting memorabilia of the former World Heavyweight Champion. At the Kentucky International Convention Center, appraisers are off to the races with such winning discoveries as very valuable original cover art for The Saturday Evening Post by John Falter, brought by his stepdaughter, who
modeled for the illustration when she was five years old; an early nineteenth-century embroidered silk mourning picture; and an enduring symbol of the Kentucky Derby: an heirloom mint julep cup created by Louisville silversmith William Kendrick in the mid-nineteenth century, estimated to be worth $2,000.

Host Mark L. Walberg travels to the historic Civil War battle site in Perryville, Kentucky, in this second hour of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW’s visit to Louisville.

Vernon; and a pair of boxing gloves signed twice by Louisville native son and World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali-once as Cassius Clay in 1963, and again as Muhammad Ali forty years later-valued at $2,000 to $3,000.
