An 1882 cast-iron monkey cap shooter; a late 19th-century Tibetan
wedding necklace; and a collection of match safes.
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW continues its visit to Memphis, Tennessee, home
of the blues and birthplace of rock'n'roll. At the Memphis Cook
Convention Center, appraisers are "all shook up" as some great
antiques and collectibles take center stage. Highlights include an
1882 cast-iron monkey cap shooter - one of the rarest ever made; a
late 19th-century Tibetan wedding necklace beautifully decorated
with pearls, turquoise and a Chinese zodiac coin; and a small
sampling of one man's collection of pocket-sized pieces of art,
better known as match safes, worth a striking $20,000.
