Grandma Lied About This Antique

NEWBURGH
A buried treasure story, a mysterious rifle, and a $12.50 watch that surprises everyone headline our return to Newburgh for another unforgettable appraisal fair.

Art, jewelry, weapons, and antiquities all carry stories, but not every story proves true. As we prepare for this weekend’s Newburgh, Indiana appraisal fair, we look back at some of the most memorable discoveries from past museum fundraiser events. From unusual heirlooms to long-held family legends, this event continues to reveal remarkable objects and the people connected to them.

A grandma tells a lie that lasts for years, while a hunting trip uncovers buried treasure. A $5 art auction purchase turns into a worthy discovery, and a rifle carries a confusing history that raises more questions. Antique tourist photographs help restore the memory of a grand 1910s spa town, and a $12.50 watch proves to be made from far finer material than anyone expects.

We’re grateful to return to these events after our absence due to illness, and we’re excited to rejoin the Indiana appraisal fair circuit in the coming weeks. We hope you enjoy the history, mystery, and personal stories that these antique and vintage discoveries continue to share with us all.
