I have a piece that I want appraised, but before I even take it to the appraiser, he wants to know the history of the item - when it was purchased, how much was paid and from whom it was purchased. This piece was given to me as a Christmas present by my parents in the early 1970's. So I have a general date, but I do not know the seller's name or where he was from or the exact amount paid for it. I thought of contact the bank where my father had his checking account, but it went out of business about 15 years ago. Any other suggestions?

BTW - both of my parents have passed away.

I'm guessing its for legal reasons that he wants to know this? We don't have all that over here so I don't know anything about it, but I would presume that if it's been in your family for 37 odd years it counts as a family peice? Surely to god they can't expect you to keep an inventory on every single thing that crosses your threshold?
