Web-Exclusive Discussion: Is It a Bird? Is It a Plane? ...

Season 16 Episode 9

It's clearly a shelf from 1726, but the question remains, what was it actually for?

When Victor brought a mysterious wooden shelf to ROADSHOW's 2011 event in Pittsburgh, appraiser Anne Ingelbrink knew it was a charming piece of early English furniture worth $3,000 at auction, but she still couldn't guess what it might have been used for. Did it hold some sort of pipe? Was it a religious object? ROADSHOW wants to hear from you! What do you think it is?
