Speaking of AARP, it looks like we have a lot of valuable antiques here!

Collection item in Tulsa sets 'Antiques Roadshow' record

This collection of late-17th century rhinoceros horn carvings at the Saturday stop of the PBS' "Antiques Roadshow" was the highest appraised find in the history of the show, valued between $1 and $1.5 million.

Also at the Tulsa event was an F-5 Gibson mandolin, which was valued at $175,000. The mandolin was purchased by the guest’s great grandfather during the Great Depression for $200. The model was the prototype of all mandolins used by professional musicians, Jordan said.

A Chinese bronze sculpture from the late Ming Dynasty was valued between $70,000 and $100,000 at the Tulsa taping. The sculpture was inherited by the guests father and originally contained scrolls inside, which were removed and sold for $300. With the scrolls, the sculpture would have been worth between $200,000 and $300,000, Jordan said.

Saturday was the first time Antiques Roadshow was in Tulsa since 2000. More than 5,000 people went through the Tulsa Convention Center in 12 hours to have their antiques appraised by 75 experts.
