WATERFORD —Thomaston Place Auction Galleries’ Mobile Appraisal Coach will roll into Waterford for an antiques appraisal fundraiser event hosted by the Waterford Library from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 9.

The fair will be held outside the Wilkins House next to the Waterford Town Common, routes 35 and 37, and participants will receive instant, on-site valuations by appraisers Kaja Veilleux and John D. Bottero for antique or collectible items.

There will be a suggested donation of $10 per item, or $25 for three items; all proceeds will support the library.

Thomaston Place Auction Galleries’ Mobile Appraisal Laboratory is the first-of-its-kind, 36-foot-long motor coach equipped with state of the art appraisal tools and reference materials.

Veilleux, president of Thomaston Place, said, “We have been doing free appraisals every week at our Thomaston Gallery for over 25 years. We are very excited to be able to take this service on the road and support the worthwhile programs of the Waterford Library.”

Participants are encouraged to bring any items that they want to have appraised to the event. If items are too large to be transported, detailed photographs can be used to determine their approximate value.

There are no appointments, and each person will have a chance to meet with an appraiser on a first-come, first-served basis.

In addition to the appraisal fair, a lunch booth will be serving hot dogs and sausages as a fundraiser for the library.
