OKLAHOMA CITY – Several pieces of history may not be worth a lot on the open market but they give a unique glimpse into the past.

A ‘Sunday School Temperance Pledge’ probably wouldn’t sell on the open market, but it does have some historical value.

A 1930’s lithograph of a Native American on a horse was extremely popular in Oklahoma and remains so today. However, there are several similar pieces around, meaning it is only worth about $30 to $40.

A butter churn was actually a reproduction piece worth only $25 to $40. If it were original, it could be worth in the hundreds.

A family heirloom watch is worth $125 to $150.

Check if you have any treasures around your house that could be worth money!

Bring your antiques to local antique expert Matt McNeil, ISA CAPP, and he will determine if they are ‘Trash or Treasure.’
