PBS. You should label these with more useful titles. Even a generalization such as "clock". You might even get more hits.

Why cant I find something like that at a yard sale or in my garage?? LOL. Amazing. I love Antique Roadshow,amazing what treasures are just stored away. I had a friend who purchased a belt buckle from a yard sale to find out that it was some treasured antique worth over 12 grand. I never get that lucky!@

Well it depends. Google is your friend most say. Bt when it comes to antiques, alot of the current market values, trends and prices obtained do differ on a monthly or yearly basis. The only way to obtain somewhat of a good knowing knowledge takes years and a lot of contact with people in the business not to say staying in contact with on-line auction sites, antiques dealers etc. The question is not what you want to learn more, what do you want to learn more SPECIFICALLY about antiques;)

[LittleBatteler]

Depends. Antiques have different history, different value and here's the thing, "different age" depending on time and country my friend. E.g. amreican antiques are a class for themselves compared to european ones as are chinese and asian. The question is:what specifically do you want to learn more of? =)
