Ep 11. Kansas City (2014) - Hour 2

In this episode of Antiques Roadshow's 18th season, the show travels to Kansas City for its second hour of appraisals in the city. Host Mark L. Walberg welcomes a variety of interesting and unique antiques brought in by locals to be evaluated by the show's expert appraisers.

Among the items featured in this episode is a large collection of World War II propaganda posters brought in by a man whose uncle served as a military photographer during the war. The posters, some of which are quite rare, offer fascinating insights into the ways that the government sought to influence public opinion during the conflict. Will they be worth a lot of money?

Another appraisal features a stunning pair of diamond bracelets originally owned by an affluent woman who lived in the Midwest during the early 20th century. The bracelets, which have been passed down through generations of the family, are not only gorgeous, but they also have an interesting backstory that could make them even more valuable to collectors.

A woman also brings in a painting that she's always loved, but doesn't know much about. She found it in her grandmother's attic years ago and has always been curious about its worth. The painting is small and almost unassuming, but the appraiser tells her that it is actually a very valuable work by a well-known artist. Will the woman be shocked to learn how much it is worth?

Other items featured in the episode include a unique gold and diamond cross that has been in a family for more than a century, a rare photograph of a well-known baseball team from the early 20th century, and an antique barber pole that was once used in a small Kansas town.

As always, the show's expert appraisers provide fascinating insights into the history and provenance of each item, giving viewers a chance to learn more about the antiques and their worth. Whether you're a fan of antiques or simply enjoy learning about history, this episode of Antiques Roadshow is sure to be a treat.
