SPEAKER AND SUBJECT - Susan Longo - Antique Road Show Adventure
Susan makes money while she speaks. She calls it her "Joy Job". She is an heirloom detective because she can tell junk from good clutter. Susan visits homes looking for valuable items. She has found books being thrown out with money inside, love letters, a Tiffany magnifying glass and walking sticks with a sword. She loves researching found items. Her highest price was $9,063 for a Luxembourg doll whose eyes seem to follow you, $465 for the shoes and socks, a Civil War officer's jacket button worth $600. Also a Longines watch; a collector in the overseas market in lucrative Japan was and hopefully will again be a customer. You never know what you will find but she had one scary visit to a Yonkers' home. Very interesting subject.
