precious gems, pocket and wristwatches; musical instruments, including violins
and wind/reed instruments (though some acoustic and early electric guitars are

Questions about objects not covered here
can be submitted to Moran in advance to determine if they are appropriate.
Suggested categories for advance inquiry include, but are not limited to:
Oriental, Native American and other tribal objects (African, Oceanic); ancient
artifacts (Egyptian and other early cultures); fossils and minerals; books;
automotive items; nautical and military-related objects; sports memorabilia
(including baseball cards); records; antique tools and technological objects
(typewriters, cameras, assorted machinery or instruments for scientific
measure, like sextants, telescopes, microscopes, etc.). When in doubt, email
inquiry can often address this.
Opinions of

which require a certified appraisal.
