That mark you assumed was damage could reveal its age, maker, and if it’s worth $20 or even thousands. Is your old rolling pin worth thousands, or nothing at all? Some antique rolling pins bring real money, and the clues are right there in the wood: the shape, the handles, the wear, and the maker's mark most people mistake for damage. Before you toss Grandma's rolling pin, here's how to read the one in your kitchen. This is the first episode of our new Evidence-Based Series in Family Tree Food & Stories . In these next few shows, Nancy May and Sylvia France share six weeks of ordinary things sitting in your kitchen right now, and what each one can tell you about the family member or person it came from.

The handled American pin is the one most of us typically picture, the tapered French pin professionals use, and the odd antique that fits no category at all; well, we dig into that too. From the first hint of rolling pins found over 6,000 years ago, the handle-free pins of China, India, Turkey, and Italy, and then we finally get into what the material, the maker's mark, and the wear pattern each reveal, including JK Adams of Dorset, Vermont , still making pins here in the U.S. since 1944. So go get the rolling pin out of your cabinet — the long one that never fits in the drawer. This one's meant to be listened to with it in your hand.
