AntiqSnap · Your pocket antique researcher
AntiqSnap is an iPhone and iPad app that uses photos to suggest what an antique or collectible may be, its possible period and an estimated value range. Results are research leads, not authentication or formal appraisals.
Useful research, not a formal appraisal. Condition, provenance, and local demand affect value.
