Antiques Roadshow Unveils Shocking Value of Father-in-Law’s Poster
In a surprising turn of events, an Antiques Roadshow guest was left astounded when her father-in-law’s poster turned out to be worth a small fortune. Expert Nicholas Lawry had the exciting task of appraising a Sun Valley resort poster during the show’s filming in Phoenix.
The poster, which had been hanging in her father-in-law’s office at the Union Pacific Railroad outlet, was initially thought to be just a regular poster. However, it was later revealed to be an original artwork created by the talented artist, Crayton Peet. Union Pacific had commissioned Peet to design these stunning and iconic posters to promote Sun Valley and attract visitors.
The guest shared that she inherited the poster, which represents the first skiing destination in the US, around 10 to 15 years ago. However, Lawry pointed out some misconceptions the guest had about the artwork, including the incorrect first name of the artist. While the guest referred to him as Wes, Lawry clarified that the artist’s name was C. Peet.
Lawry further explained that he could not find any references to a person named Crayton Peet in his research. He invited the viewers to come forward with any additional information they might have about the artist, as it would greatly benefit the community’s knowledge.
This remarkable discovery on Antiques Roadshow proves that sometimes, what may seem like an ordinary item can turn out to be a valuable treasure worth a fortune. Stay tuned for more surprising appraisals and captivating stories on the show.
