    Call your local appraiser and ask what their prices are.  For a
    referral, you can call ISA or ASA (18002VALU, I think)  Both have
    websites.  (Those are International Society of Appraisers and
    American Society of Appraisers.) 

    They should be a GG and have had training with ISA or ASA and
    ideally have taken the USPAP course recently. 

    Is it worth having appraised?  That's up to you.  Is it worth
    learning more about and documenting this irreplaceable family
    heirloom?  Could be as low as $50.00, depending on where you live.
