1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Big, big fan of PBS Antiques Roadshow. You look

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: like an Antiques Road show guy.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean I watch it sometimes. I

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: think it's very interesting with these people come in with.

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how much of that is real, if

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: I'm being honest. Really, there was a lot like Pond Stars.

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's like Pond Stars in the sense

8
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: that the producers are definitely screening the items before they

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: get on the air.

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: People cool items and just let them know up there.

11
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: No no, no, no the items no, no, no, no no. I

12
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: think these are definitely things that are coming from from listeners,

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: from people who apply for the show. I have an

14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: inkling about this because I applied there you going, yes, absolutely,

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: you have a lot of stuff. I applied for tickets

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: to the PBS show that will becoming Antiques Road Show.

17
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: They are doing an all day appraisal event on June

Speaker 1: first at the New Fields, which used to be the

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Museum of Art up there on the north side

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: next to Crownhill Cemetery. Beautiful. I've never been really nice.

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: It's very nice. It's actually and better in a lot

22

Speaker 1: can get steps in, you can go see the pretty flowers.

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: like you said, I do have what do you you get.

45
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: To bring three things? What three things you bring in?

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: They only let you enter two?

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 2: All right, well two things? What are the two best pieces.

48
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: You want to bring in? The two things that I

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: wanted more information on were my Han Dynasty dagger that

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: I believe to be two thousand years old. I had

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: it authenticated by a spectroscopic analysis in Colorado, but I

52
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: really don't know much history beyond that, and I would

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: love to know like who it was made for, who

54
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: was made by, how it got from yeah, how it

55
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: got from China to Pennsylvania where I picked it up

56
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: for eighty dollars and wow, yeah, yeah, they did no

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: idea what they had. They had no idea eighty bucks.

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Eighty bucks. But I'm looking at that thing and like,

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: there is only one way that bronze gets to be

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: that kind of motted green, and that's by marching through time.

61
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there are artificial there are chemical ways to

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: do it, but the depth and the qualities of the

63
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: patina really look like an ancient item. To me, the

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: laboratory analysis in Colorado seem to confirm that. So if

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: I can take that up to Antiques Road Show and

66
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: have that authenticated, that would be even cooler, and also

67
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: get a sense of the value of it, because I

68
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: really got no idea. I'm just thrilled to have it.

69
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm not really looking to resell it. It's mine. I

70
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: found it, it's mine mine. And then the other thing

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: that I have in my collection is a document, an

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: indentured servitude contract, which is pretty instrumental to the history

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: and foundation of our country, that was executed in sixteen sixty.

74
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: You are unlikely to find many older indentures floating around

75
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: in private hands here in the States, and executed between

76
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,559
Speaker 1: a man by the name of James Taylor and Abraham Matthews.

77
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't know who either of those individuals are, or,

78
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: for that matter, the colony or territory where it was

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: originally executed. It might have even been executed in England

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: and then brought overseas.

81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: Because how'd you find this?

82
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: I found that from a private collector, a documents collector

83
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: in Maryland. I was visiting friends in Pennsylvania and I

84
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: saw it listed on Facebook Marketplace, WI. Yeah, of all things,

85
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, snatch, go up, go up and

86
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: grab you. I drove a couple hours from where I

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: was at in Harrisburg and went to go snatch that up.

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I am really looking forward to the Antiques

89
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: road Show, and I think that this is a hell

90
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: of an opportunity for antique lovers of any stripe and

91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: kind to come to Indianapolis, check out the show, have

92
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: a fun afternoon, and maybe even get your antiques appraised.

93
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: Really looking forward to it, Cherry, Yeah.

94
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: It sounds like it's gonna be awesome. You'll have to

95
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: let us know if you make the show, obviously, but yeah, man,

96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: when I heard this was coming, I was like, I

97
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: know the guy. I know the guy.

98
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I have a guy. I think they're making the decision

99
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: sometime in May, but yeah, I'm going to definitely be

100
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: keeping a lookout on my email
