The series, is described by Associate Producer Ali Dubrow as “Antiques Roadshow meets History Detectives<\/em>“, and “[in] each hour-long episode, we visit a new city to profile several rare objects that hold historic value<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

With the call for objects, four will be features in this episode, and “the winner’s” artifact will be on display at the National Geographic Museum for one year, with a $10,000 loaner’s fee given to the owner.<\/p>\n
