HINCKLEY – Have you ever wondered about that old vase you keep in the basement, the one that used to belong to your grandmother? Or the painting you found in the attic when you moved into your house? Are they really as old as the family thinks? More important, perhaps, are they worth anything?

Now here’s your chance to find out.

An Antique Appraisal Event will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 8 in the Hinckley Community Building. Co-hosted by the Hinckley Public Library and the Hinckley Historical Society, the event will feature Mark Moran, who has appraised antiques for more than 30 years and has appeared on “Antiques Roadshow.”
