A post-Revolutionary War canteen and diary; an original
1908 illustration by Arthur Rackham; and a pear-shaped pear wood
tea caddy.
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW continues its visit to Albuquerque, New Mexico,
where just outside the city limits, host Dan Elias finds himself
exploring the Albuquerque of other millennia. At Petroglyph
National Park, images carved in rock are evidence of Pueblo Indian
life as early as 1000 B.C., while dinosaur fossil remains at Ghost
Ranch date back hundreds of millions of years. Back in the 21st
century, appraisers at the Albuquerque Convention Center examine
the more recent past: a post-Revolutionary War canteen accompanied
by a diary account of the Revolution written by the owner's
great-great-great-great-grandfather, a member of the Massachusetts
Militia; an original 1908 illustration by Arthur Rackham, perhaps
the most celebrated British children's book illustrator; and a
luscious, pear-shaped pear wood tea caddy valued at $7,000 to
$8,000.
