Eddy also went to the hospi- tal complaining of pain in her left hip and a minor laceration to her left arm, according the release.

MAIN STREET 2injuredin3-carcollision By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Kelly-Griggs House Museum hosted John Humphries, a local appraiser, Saturday for an appraisal day fundraiser presenting an op- portunity for people to discover the value of items laying around their houses. Proceeds from the event will go toward the cost of the foun- dation replacement project, which still has several phases to go, for the 1880's victorian that houses historical items from all over Tehama County. The house was built by Sidney Allen Griggs and later sold to the Kelly family before the museum purchased it in the 1960s. "The one we're focusing on next is the south wall," said Sharon Wilson, Treasurer and Past President of the museum association. "It'll cost $60,000 to $70,000 for the foundation, the wood siding is about $10,000 and to have it painted it's about $40,000. We also want to re- place the windows." The appraisal day, which ran 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., had about 30 peopleshowupbeforelunchwith most bringing at least two items. Theappraisalfeewas$5peritem. Lewis Reynolds of Red Bluff had a nice surprise when he dis- covered his painting he acquired in a dumpster turned out to be a Monet copy. Even though it is a copy, it is still worth about $250, Humphries said. "I came across someone throwing out stuff into the dumpsters," Reynolds said. "At the time I was collecting picture frames and I didn't know what it was. I was going to tear out the painting and keep the frame, but I read on the top that it was for the Rhode Island Museum of Fine Arts." He was glad he kept it, Reyn- olds said. Dianna Mann of Corning brought two items she got out of her mother's curio cabinet, she said. Mann said she was pleas- antly surprised at the value of her Austrian Vase and Made in Nippon compote. "I was surprised," Mann said. "I thought the compote would be worth more than the vase. When we divided things up I took it be- cause I always liked it." Mann let out a small shriek of disbelief when she heard the vase was worth $350. Hum- prhies gave a little background on the vase and talked about how a lot of the European artists who later became well-known started out painting items such as vases to make a living when they first got going. The compote was stamped made in Nippon, which is the Japanese word for Japan, Humphries said. In 1922, there was a law that went into affect that things must be stamped with their country of origin in the language of the coun- try it was being shipped too, Humphries said. The fact that it says Nippon made him believe it was at late 1890s vase as things were marked Nippon from about 1896 to 1910. From 1910-1921 there was a period where some items said Nippon and Japan as country of origin. Don Byrns of Red Bluff brought three items, a Lee rail- road conductor doll and one wearing a Boy Scout uniform along with a hot rod toy. The Lee doll was worth the most in the $350-$500 range while the Boy Scout doll was in the realm of $200-250, Humphries said.
