In Philadelphia recently, a woman spotted what she thought was an old helmet in
her attic near where the Halloween costumes used to be. She cleaned it up and
went to find out if it was worth anything. She carried it to the Civic Center
where Chubb's Antique Roadshow was offering people free appraisals of their
junk.
An appraiser from San Francisco's Butterfield & Butterfield told her the helmet
was a sixteenth century cabasset from Milan. Forged from a single sheet of metal
and covered with gold, it was valued at around $250,000.
