About Our Free Tools
Every tool here was built to solve a real problem collectors face. The Hallmark Identifier started as my own reference sheet—a way to quickly decode the stamps I encountered at estate sales and auctions. The Authentication Checklists formalize the process I use when evaluating pieces from major luxury brands.
What these tools do: They provide structure, reference data, and systematic approaches to common collector tasks. They help you think methodically about identification and authentication.
What these tools don't do: They don't replace expertise or physical examination. No online tool can definitively authenticate a piece—that requires hands-on inspection by qualified professionals. These utilities give you better questions to ask and a framework for evaluation, not final answers.
Use them to learn, to prepare, and to screen. But when serious money is involved, always get professional verification.
