What would a quilt in excellent condition be worth that came over on the mayflower?

A LOT. You might want to check some auction houses. Ask for a free consultation. Or bring it on Antiques Roadshow. :)

What would a quilt in excellent condition be worth that came over on the mayflower?
If in excellent condition, it could possibly be worth millions. I would contact several antique appraisers to get a better idea of it's worth.
Reply:Could very well be worth a lot, if you have convincing documentation about it's history. Even if not, though, it should be obvious to people who specialize in textiles that it is antique and so it still could be worth a pretty penny.





Google antique quilts and see what happens.
Reply:if you could verify that it did indeed come via the Mayflower in the 1500's then I am certain it would be worth a small fortune. If it is an 400+ year old quilt then I am certain it would be very fragile and need to be handled with extreme care.





Contact the antiques road show and they could tell you where an appraiser close to you could be found. Also give you good handling instructions,
Reply:If you live in a large enough city there should be a Christie's Auction House. You take it to them to be appraised. They are one of the best to take your stuff to. However there will be a fee for them to look at it. But if it was really on the Mayflower it will be worth the money to get it appraised.
