Antiques appraiser Rick Keller returns to Parlin Memorial Library

Community members invited to discover the value of their antiques and collectibles

Special to The Advocate

Mayor Robert J. Van Campen is pleased to announce that the Parlin Memorial Library will welcome back antiques and collectibles appraiser Rick Keller of Perfect Pastime 617 for a special appraisal event open to the public. With more than 20 years of experience and a history of hosting appraisal events at over 40 libraries, Keller returns to Everett to help residents uncover the potential value of items tucked away in their homes. During last year’s visit, one attendee discovered that a bracelet purchased for $500 at an estate sale was valued at $5,000.

Community members are encouraged to bring a wide range of items for review: trading cards, coins, comic books, video game consoles and other collectibles. Ten-minute appointment slots will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. To secure an appointment, participants must email photos of up to three items, along with their name and phone number, to Kathleen Slipp at sl***@******et.org. The registration deadline is March 13.

For additional information, please contact Slipp at 617-394-2300.
