Last night we caught part of the rebroadcast of the Antiques Roadshow episode featuring the most valuable item ever appraised on the program. In 2002 a man brought a Navajo blanket to the Tucson visit of the popular PBS program. He wiped his eyes over and over as he learned that the blanket, which was in spectacular condition, was worth $350,000 to $500,000. In the followup article on the PBS website, the appraiser Don Ellis planned to put the blanket up for sale at the New York City Winter Antiques Show the following January. But there was no further follow-up. I found a mention of the fate of the blanket in the Maine Antique Digest. Don Ellis was unable to find a buyer at the show, and said it was the first time he had been unable to sell the feature object of his display. The fate of the blanket: “soon it will be presented to the trustees of an institution for consideration.” Where is it now???
