Antiques Roadshow: Flask

On a Cleveland stop of Antiques Roadshow, the soft-spoken appraiser Fenton Kenilworth sits down with Connie, who has brought a small glass flask her grandmother kept in her bedroom. Fenton admires the piece and points out its hallmark, which he says marks it as a vessel for opium syrup, the cheap fix of the era's addicts. As Connie bristles at the implication about her beloved nana, Fenton keeps smiling, praises the flask's value at auction, and keeps piling on ever more scandalous conclusions about the grandmother's past, delivered as warmly as any appraisal. It is the first of three Antiques Roadshow segments in the episode.
