It's not at all surprising that the British Roadshows are massively oversubscribed and attract such widespread media attention when the treasure found across Canada to date by the experts is now valued at over fifty two million dollars and still rising!
That's because the Roadshow brings with it a unique blend of international expertise and a special 'wow' factor. Add to that recipe the rare opportunity for the community to meet our expert appraisers first hand and learn all about family heirlooms and treasures and maybe solve a mystery or two along the way. It's a rare opportunity to finally prove for once and for all some of those ancient family myths and legends including that perhaps Grannies treasure didn't come over on the Mayflower after all!
3 GENERATIONS OF TREASURES
The Roadshow is all about people and about Canadians living the dream, learning all about their family heirlooms and antique items they have and it's all about education. It's all down to you, the great Canadian public who turn out in your droves to see us that makes it such a dramatic success. |

Camilla and Karlyle Robinson (left) missed their skating lessons, both developing strange & sudden illnesses, just to get to the Barrie Roadshow. Their carved wooden candlestick with the distinctive crown headed wrought iron pin? Was it, Buccaneer or Pioneer? Pirate it may be girls but it's still an antique of the future. |
