This is an incredibly heartwarming story!
A disabled man was struggling to get by on $800 a month and he makes the find of a lifetime.
He and his wife were watching a special episode of “Antiques Roadshow” where they highlight the most expensive items to ever be featured on the show, and he sees the most pricey item of all time. That’s when he realizes, he’s got the same thing in his own closet.
The Navajo Blanket can fetch up to a half million dollars in auctions and he knows his life is about to become a lot more manageable when it comes to money.
“But I never thought mine would be worth THAT,” he says. So he takes it to an auctioneer. The auctioneer says he almost fell over when he saw it.
It’s a hand-woven Navajo blanket from the mid 1800s.
“I’d been through the ringer… losing a leg…” he says, and he never thought he’d get everything back together. They give him a conservative estimate of $100-200,000. Wow!
The story doesn’t end there. When auction day comes, he’s go a bigger surprise in store. The blanket was worth more than he ever could have imagined. He gets $1.5 million!
