Appraisal results are generated using automated systems, including artificial intelligence, and are based solely on the information and images submitted by the user, along with publicly available data. As such, results may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or errors.
InstAppraisal does not authenticate items. No determination of authenticity, origin, materials, maker, or age should be considered verified. Many items—particularly luxury goods, watches, jewelry, coins, art, and designer products—are frequently counterfeited and may closely resemble genuine examples. Authenticity cannot be confirmed from images alone.
Any statements regarding authenticity are expressions of opinion only and should not be relied upon as fact. Independent professional authentication is strongly recommended before any purchase, sale, or valuation decision.
Appraisal values are estimates only and may vary significantly based on condition, provenance, market demand, and additional information not available at the time of review.
Appraisals must not be relied upon for insurance, legal, tax, estate, or financial purposes without independent professional verification.

Re: vintage/antique items that belonged to my 100 yr old...
Hi - I don't think there's too much that can be done with this type of request as there are so many completely different items. The only thing that might be possible would be for someone to recognize one of the items and comment on it, but I can't see how any kind of valuation or history can be given on so many different things. My suggestion would be to put up individual appraisal requests for some of the potentially more valuable items - a watch, piece of furniture or similar would potentially be more valuable than a sink strainer or dustpan so I'd start with those items first. Remember that detailed photos with as much information as possible will greatly increase your odds of someone being able to give you information.
