Appraisal Services
Our family members are leading experts in German Antique Beer Steins. We are called upon to appraise collections from many well respected Auction and antique houses. We offer this service for a low $25.00 fee to help cover our costs and make sure we are not flooded with spam and junk. We hate that we must add this fee! However, it is necessary and can not be waived.
