Determining the value of one-of-a-kind objects can sometimes require the investigative talents of Sherlock Holmes and the wisdom of Solomon.
Enservio Select was recently asked to provide a retail replacement value for a stolen, 19th century Masonic fraternal sword.
We contacted the insured, who confirmed his great-great-grandfather was indeed a Freemason. Though the insured did not have any images of the claimed sword; he did provide a single photo of a similar sword he had found on the Internet. The insured estimated the value of the sword to be between $15,000 and $30,000.
