THE Friends of The Black Watch Castle and Museum, Perth is hosting a valuation day by Bonhams.
So, if you think you might have something of value, like a Rembrandt, in the attic, then come along to the Museum on Tuesday 3rd March 2015 to have it valued.
No appointments will be necessary with the Bonhams team being on hand to value items on a first-come, first-served basis.
The cost will be £5 for two valuations and £3 thereafter.
Friends price: £2 per valuation.
All proceeds from the day will be used by the Friends organisation to support the work of the museum.
Bonhams hold valuation days throughout the year and this is your chance to meet the experts.
Among the many ‘finds’ at such events, a 42 year-old bottle of Glenrothes single malt whisky, which was discovered at a valuation day in Blair Athol. In June 2011, it sold for £1,800.
Then there was the 1924 Bentley three-litre Speed Model Tourer, a model made notable by its victory in the second Le Mans 24 Hour race. It sold in 2010 for £150,000.
There was also a painting by Alberto Morrocco, titled ‘Still Life with Fruit and Sunflower’, that was taken to a Dundee valuation day. This also sold in 2010, for £19,200.
