The Friends of the Mattapoisett Library is hosting its own version of “Antiques Roadshow” on March 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the meeting room at the Mattapoisett Library, 7 Barstow Street.

Frank McNamee of Marion Antique Shop and Marion Antique Auctions will be on hand to evaluate paintings, prints, silver, furniture, Oriental rugs, books, glass, china and nautical items.

McNamee’s assistant, Paula Deane, estate jewelry specialist, will be appraising jewelry and collectibles.

McNamee’s qualifications include 35 years in the antiques business and 25 years of appraisal experience. He is a graduate of the Henry Francis DuPont Winterthur Institute program on American furniture and decorative arts. He also has a Bachelor of Arts degree in American History from Providence College, a degree in marketing from Bridgewater State College and is a member in good standing of the New England Appraisers Association. He has completed a course on appraisal studies as well as Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice Course (USPAP) at Rhode Island School of Design.

Deane has been in the antiques and appraisal business for more than 30 years. She is a general antiques dealer who specializes in vintage jewelry.

The cost is $5 dollars per item to be appraised with a three-item limit. If an item is too large, bring a photograph. If the piece is a bit obscure or needs preliminary research, send an email prior to the event to McNamee at Frank@MarionAntiques.com with “Mattapoisett Fundraiser” as the subject line.

McNamee and Deane do not appraise stamps or coins, and diamonds aren’t graded as a gemologist would do.

Members of the Friends will be on hand to talk with patrons about membership and to provide refreshments.
