GUEST: They came out of the house that my father grew up in, in Wheeling, West Virginia. They were, uh, panels that were in the front door of their home.

APPRAISER: Well, can you tell me what you are seeing in the cartouches here?

GUEST: Well, uh, beautiful urns and leaves and flowers and... I thought that these were a picture of a steamboat, because Wheeling, West Virginia, was on the Ohio River, but...

APPRAISER: Yes, okay, well, this is a steamboat picture. I'm guessing that's their logo. J & C Ritchie, also known as Wheeling Flint Glass Works, operated in Wheeling, West Virginia, where your family home was.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: These panes were made about 1833.

GUEST: Wow. That's older than I imagined, too.

APPRAISER: Did they give you any more information about the pieces or...?

GUEST: No, they were... My brothers and my sister each have one. So there were four of these that were made.

APPRAISER: Well, I want to tell you they are some of the rarest of the American lacy glass.

GUEST: Really? (laughs)

APPRAISER: And it's a pressed glass made to look like a cut glass.

GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: Um, it even feels like a cut, but it is a pressed-- it's pressed into a mold. And recently, 2018, one panel came up for auction, and it sold for $3,200.

GUEST: I am surprised. (laughs) I'm very surprised.

APPRAISER: One panel.

GUEST: My goodness.

APPRAISER: And we're talking about three here.

GUEST: Wow. That's incredible-- that's wonderful.
