Another site is AppraisalReferrals.com. This site will "help you get a
local accredited appraiser who has the experience and qualifications
necessary to accurately value your personal property, real estate,
business or machinery & equipment. The appraiser will perform a formal
examination and produce a typed and certified appraisal report that
meets the standards of professional accreditation. All accredited
appraisers maintain steady participation in continuing education
programs and emphasize strict adherence to high ethical standards of
professional practice."
The good thing is, you are under no obligation to accept the
appraiser’s service. You should allow the appraiser to fully inform
you of the specifics of the service and fee being offered. Once
informed you are in the best position to decide if the appraiser is
right for you.

related to antiques. But in case you're looking for more, here are
Google search results that you can use:

attend to you as soon as possible. Again, happy New Year and thanks
for asking.
