Trovel: Antique Identifier

Point Trovel at a flea-market find and learn what it likely is — maker, era, and a grounded sense of what it's worth — before you've left the stall.

Wiley the Prospector rides along in your pocket: a sharp-eyed scout who reads maker's marks, spots reproductions, and tells you straight when a "brass" candlestick is spray-painted zinc.

What you get

• Point-and-scan identification — snap a photo, get the likely maker, era, and the story behind the piece
• A grounded value range for the resale market, with the why behind the number
• A collection shelf for everything you keep — photo, note, and provenance in one card
• Flip tracking — what you paid, what it's worth, what it sold for
• A per-find journal so every hunt's story stays told
• Works at your pace — no streaks, no nags, your shelf keeps its own clock

Who it's for

Weekend thrifters, estate-sale regulars, car-boot devotees, and anyone who's ever held something up and thought: could be nothing, could be a payday.

How it feels

Like walking the aisles with a sharp-eyed old prospector who's seen ten thousand shelves — and still gets excited about yours.

Values shown are informed estimates to guide your haggling, not formal appraisals.
