GUEST: Well, it's been in my husband's family. It was hung over his grandfather's desk on Tea Wharf.

APPRAISER: How far back does that go?

GUEST: In the late 1800s, early 1900s.

APPRAISER: And so he, he might have been the one who possibly even purchased this from John Bellamy. It was carved by John Bellamy. He was the town carver of Kittery, Maine, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He worked in the navy yards, had his own carving shop. It's a wonderful, paint-decorated carved eagle. Prototypical Bellamy with the square beak and the red eye. The saying "Remember the Maine" helps date it. It's late 19th century, late 1890s. And you see the support there?

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: That he put on the wing? It's totally original. Beautiful, beautiful pine. And what's wonderful about it is, there's an early appraisal on here, that in 1960, this was appraised for $250.

GUEST: That's correct.

APPRAISER: You're looking at something that would be valued in the $35,000 to $45,000 range.

GUEST: (laughing): Oh, wow.

APPRAISER: Yeah, it's just...

GUEST: That is unbelievable.

APPRAISER: Collectors love the "Remember the Maine." It's one of his more popular sayings. So, congratulations.

GUEST: Oh, thank you so much. It's... Oh!
