Identifying the Past  

Rex Lyons evaluates and appraises individual items or entire collections and estates. The evaluation of a single item often can be made from photographs and handled entirely online. For a fee of $50.00 we will identify and evaluate any single item.  For multiple items or collections, our rate is $50.00 per hour (two hour minimum).

We do not ever purchase any item we evaluate. If your goal is to sell an item we can help with the location of reputable dealers or auction houses.
