No idea.
APPRAISER: She's good, you know she's good, right?
GUEST: She's good, she's good, she's good.
APPRAISER: I hear you..
So it is French.
GUEST: Oh, it is!
Okay!
Okay, great, great.
GUEST: These skates belonged to Elizabeth DuBois.
She was a very accomplished speed skater, recognized, uh, nationally.
In 1927, she won the Silver Skates competition.
And she then went to the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid in 1932.
APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
GUEST: Speed skating was a demonstration sport then, and she won the, uh, Olympics in the 1,000 meters.
APPRAISER: Okay, yeah, so she competed in three different events in the 1932 Winter Olympics.
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: And so because it was a demonstration sport, she doesn't get a medal.
Doesn't get a medal.
GUEST: Uh, she gets a lot of publicity, but no medal.
APPRAISER: A lot of publicity, and then she has these from 1927.
They're so historical, being that she was part of that first generation of women skaters.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: This represents one of probably very few awards she was actually given.
I'd say at auction, these would sell for $3,000 to $4,000.
GUEST: (chuckling): Is that right?
APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
GUEST: That'd be great, wow, I appreciate that.
Huh, I had no idea.
