The Smithsonian Institution does not offer monetary evaluations. However, the Institution has developed the following page to assist you in finding an appraiser: "Artifact Appraisals: A few references to help you determine the monetary value of your collectibles."
Additionally, auction catalogs, databases, and collectors' manuals and price guides on appraisal can often be found at your local library or historical society.
