Alan –

The American Society of Appraisers (www.appraisers.org), the Appraisers Association of America (www.appraisersassociation.org), and the International Society of Appraisers (www.isa-appraisers.org) all maintain lists of appraisers. The lists are typically searchable by area of expertise and geography.

Question in Monday’s Gazette–I have a dear friend. Her adult children want her to get an appraisal on a very extensive and, I’m told, very valuable collection of Steuben Glass. They asked if I would assist in finding a highly qualified, reputable and knowledgeable appraiser of Steuben. She lives just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Can you direct me to someone you have high regards for? She is not looking to sell the collection, rather get a handle on the provenance and value of each piece and the collection as a whole. Thank you, Barry

Ed. I imagine any number of collectors or families have this problem. Suggestions?
