About AtticWorth

AtticWorth exists because the first page of results for “antique X value” is usually either a content farm guessing, or a story about a record auction price that has nothing to do with the one in your attic.

We do it differently: every value range on this site is calibrated on recent completed sales — what buyers actually paid — split by condition, with thin data flagged as thin. Our methodology page spells out the whole process, including what these estimates are not good for.

AtticWorth is an independent editorial project. We don't buy or sell antiques, broker deals, or take listing fees — so we have no reason to flatter your item's value or talk it down.

Who runs AtticWorth

AtticWorth is independently built and maintained by its founder — a data-pipeline person, not an antiques dealer, which is the point: no inventory to talk up, no consignments to chase. The price data is pulled from completed marketplace sales, machine-verified (parts, lots and reproductions removed), and recalibrated on a quarterly cycle; reference facts like serial-number tables and logo dating charts are sourced from the institutions that hold the original records (ISMACS, Minnetrista) and cited in place. When readers who know a category better than our data send corrections, we publish them.

How we make money

Some outbound links to marketplaces may become affiliate links (clearly disclosed; links marked sponsored). Affiliate status never changes a value estimate — the numbers come from the data pipeline, not the business model.
