CAPE MAY – Are you wondering whether that landscape painting you bought for $10 at a yard sale might be worth something? How about that pocket watch or piece of jewelry you inherited years ago?
Find out during an event sponsored by the Friends of the Physick Estate on March 22 at 1 p.m. at the Cape May Lutheran Church, 509 Pittsburgh Ave. All About Antiques with Arthur Schwerdt features a discussion of antiques along with appraisals.
