Back again, with a question, Mr. Kent, I know there is always a way, a person out there to help, trick is to find them, but finding the right one for the job without getting scammed. I have come accross some items, my goodness, wished it could be you to give them a checkout, a few pieces re jewelry, jade, mother of pearl, and ivory, which I am confident they are authentic, there;s the thing, finding a very good person to authenticate a peice and worth. In jewelry, paintings, lithographs,( especially these) I have just sitting around safe as can be from hints of help from you off of the shows, but how to find the real peoples list that one can trust.

I bought a pisnting here while back, took it apart, as one would to put on acid free paper, if it was 100 yr.s old as told, i thought different but wanted the painting, come to find inside the painting had been cut down both sides, to fit a very old frame, which was worth what I paid at least, but the rest- schnazzer- I live in an area where back when the old fort civil war men bunked down at the old rails or coach station as they travelled through from washington way to GA way, theres a history story here, but there is no one that can authenticate the history items, The auctioneer is a jokester, come take over this auction please…

anyway, how would I go about finding some good appraisers, authenticators, people like and as almost as good as you? Know any ? wadesboro, nc.very important, I’m accumilating, AND ITS JUST ALL SITTING, waiting to be sold off. HELP! Or Do I need to just come to Reading PA?

This article was a fantastic catch to my eye and ears also. How I do Love, the Worthologist, Mr. Kent as well. I love it all, ( generalist) as well. I love to learn about everrrry-thing. I one day, had dreamed of catching up to the amazing Mr. Kent, to get advice on a few things I have come to pick-up and collect myself. I do try to follow thru- listen, and look thru-these flea bitten places myself. I think they are the best target for a great find(s). I have been to Reading twice, and next time, hope to catch the market there. I wanted to know what Mr. Kent was doing these days,during the re-runs- collecting still no-doubt. Your the greatest, with a great eye,great knowledge and a fantastic personality. Thanks C.K. I too would like you to come back to the shows ! Hope I can meet you in person one day, along with me, not 1, but 2 & 3 favorite pieces for that great eye & knowledge of yours. Thanks also Mark for posting this piece.

Dear Linda, Thank you so much for your kind words . Yes the years I spent doing Flea market and Embassy Chefs were a treat. I loved meeting people and talking about their treasures and also looking at a countries history and food. You know, I had minutes to look at a specific piece on Flea market, before we shot the footage so a lot of it was flying by the seat of my pants. I’m glad that I had an eclectic background in antiques, it has served and continues to serve me well. I hope that I can convince another network to pick up the option of new episodes. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and also the power of persuasion. Thanks again, always wonderful to hear from a fan.Best regards, Christopher

Dear Christopher,
How I love Embassy Chefs and Flea Market Mania! You are so very gracious and unbelievably knowledgeable. I know the shows are reruns. Do you have anything planned for the future? If so, I hope you’ll let folks know. I watch you twice a day and look forward to the dose “happy” that I get from the shows.

Well done!

Best regards,
Linda Garrett

I love watching his show, and am only mad that it wasnt 1 hour long! Does CK have his own website? I cannot seem to find anything on the net. I wish the show also traveled to Southern California…I think we invented “collecting” out here! haha, there are thrift shops, antique malls, and flea markets and swaps everywhere! Godspeed to Christopher and thanks for the article!

This brief summary of Christopher Kents career is a gem. The ability to identify a pivot point like this lunch box sale in the market and explain how such a sale was a catalyst for market transition to a new parameter is true wisdom. There are book-learned people being turned out of colleges like factory farming right now but here is an example of a man with a career who has genuine talent enhanced with common sense and a dose of ” book-learning’ which didnt’ ruin him. Thanks for this wonderful story.
