GET AN APPRAISAL ON 'ROADSHOW'

Want to have your collectible appraised when "Antiques Roadshow" comes to the Hawai'i Convention Center on Aug. 26? There are two options.

  • If you live on O'ahu and you'd like to have your collectible large furniture piece appraised on the show, organizers would like to hear from you soon. However, because the Hawai'i stop for "Antiques Roadshow" is the last on the program's tour this summer, a Friday deadline for submitting a photo and request for consideration to the show has been extended indefinitely.

    Send a photo of the furniture and a description of its history along with your name, address and phone number to Antiques Roadshow, 125 Western Ave., Boston, MA 02134. You can also submit photos and background information online at www.pbs.org/antiques.

    If your item is selected to be on the show, "Antiques Roadshow" will transport it to and from the convention center for free.

  • To bring a smaller item in for appraisal, you'll need to request a free ticket in advance. The deadline for requests is May 6.

    To apply for tickets, call (888) 762-3749, visit www.pbs .org/antiques or send a postcard to Honolulu Roadshow, Box 249, Canton, MA 02021.

    Requests will be selected at random. All ticket holders are guaranteed a complimentary appraisal of two items by experts.
