Estimating the value of a vase.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — If you ever wondered whether stuff lying around your house might actually be valuable — especially in this economy — there might be an easy way to find out.

  • The Antique Treasures Show is returning to Historic Bethlehem
  • The event will be May 6
  • Last year, one happy surprise was a mirror valued at $400

The Antique Treasure Show will return to Historic Bethlehem noon to 2 p.m. on May 6 at Moravian Museum, 66 W. Church St.

When the show came to Bethlehem in October 2022, one bowl brought by an attendee was appraised at $200 and a mirror at $400. Other popular items in the past have included vases and tea sets.

The Treasure Show team conducts both in-depth and walk-in analyses. In-depth appraisals cost $25 for members of Historic Bethlehem Museums and Sites and $30 for non-members.

Walk-up appraisals are $15 for members and $20 for non-members.

To obtain an official appraiser’s same-day report, treasure seekers should submit photos and background information two weeks in advance.

HBMS members who just want to observe can come by for free. Non-members are welcome, too, for a $5 admission fee.

Light refreshments and admission to the Moravian Museum of Bethlehem are included.
