Antiques Roadshow highlights Nebraskans' attic finds

Thousands of Nebraskans took their treasures to Omaha last July to the Antiques Roadshow appraisers. The best of those finds are featured on three one-hour episodes of the PBS hit series running Jan. 24, 31 and Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. CT and repeating Jan. 27, Feb. 3 and 10 at 8 p.m. CT on the Nebraska ETV network.



 


 
Jan. 24's episode features a fascinating collection of letters and drawings chronicling a Frank Lloyd Wright house remodeling project.

On Jan. 31, a woman brings a 1961 "Breakfast at Tiffany's" movie poster and learns that Audrey Hepburn memorabilia has skyrocketed in value since her death.

In the final episode, a colorful pocketbook custom-made for an 18th-century man contained priceless family letters detailing the family's Quaker descent.
