HAVE you got a unique or bizarre family heirloom that you suspect might be worth a lot of money?

The Greater Toronto Spring Fair, on Saturday, October 11, is hosting a mini antiques road show.

There will be three local experts on hand to give their opinions on hand-held pieces of interest.

Kaylene Fitzpatrick, from Kadia Jewellery, in Toronto, is looking forward to helping people find out if their items are particularly noteworthy.

"A lot of people go through grandma's jewellery and don't know what it's worth," Ms Fitzpatrick said.

Even if an item is not expensive, it still might have an interesting story to tell.

"Often the least expensive pieces are the most interesting. I love going through people's pandora boxes, so to speak."

Stephen Cole has been collecting antiques for more than 30 years, so he knows "a bit about everything".

Mr Cole's specialty is gentlemen's antiques, and items such as clocks, and musical and scientific instruments.

The only rule of the antique road show is items must be hand held, so leave out grandpa's old writing desk.

The mini antiques road show is from 10.30am to 1pm, on The Boulevarde, which will be closed to vehicle traffic on the day.
