I was just looking through and found that oil paintings cannot be appraised,  I have an old photo I found in Tennessee that is on cloth.  Anyway, started wondering if I will get an appraisal for it.  Does anyone know?  Also, does this site help people find an appraisal near your area if they can't do it.  I was thinking of have the photo restored if it was worth anything at all.

Old paintings are really not suitable candidates for appraisal from images, I suggest you contact sothebys.com or the American Society of Appraisers http://www.appraisers.org/

Re: answers

You can post a photo of it and see if anyone can appraise it.

There are many helpful people on here...if they can help you in any way they will.
