Trovel: Antique Identifier

About this app

Point Trovel at a flea-market find and learn what it likely is — maker, era, and a grounded sense of what it's worth — before you've left the stall. Wiley the Prospector rides along in your pocket: a sharp-eyed scout who reads maker's marks, spots reproductions, and tells you straight when a "brass" candlestick is spray-painted zinc. What you get * Point-and-scan identification — snap a photo, get the likely maker, era, and the story behind the piece * A grounded value range for the resale market, with the why behind the number * A collection shelf for everything you keep — photo, note, and provenance in one card * Flip tracking — what you paid, what it's worth, what it sold for * A per-find journal so every hunt's story stays told * Works at your pace — no streaks, no nags, your shelf keeps its own clock Who it's for Weekend thrifters, estate-sale regulars, car-boot devotees, and anyone who's ever held something up and thought: could be nothing, could be a payday. How it feels Like walking the aisles with a sharp-eyed old prospector who's seen ten thousand shelves — and still gets excited about yours. Values shown are informed estimates to guide your haggling, not formal appraisals. Legal Terms of Use: https://olnesta.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://olnesta.com/privacy
