you go to get lace valued?
Kliots used to do appraisals; don't know if they still do now that Kaethe is no longer part of the duo. I think Elizabeth Kurella does apparaisals

But, such services don't come free, or even cheaply... I think it would be worth while for that person to show the lace to some knowledgeable *lacemakers* in the area to determine first if the lace is even worth the expense of a professional appraisal; as a "local guru" (we're a very small town <g>), I see quite a bit of "heirloom lace" which isn't worth *appraising*, much less selling/gifting to a museum for a tax-deduction (need a professional appraisal for the second)
