Suzy McLennan Anderson, CAPP Antique Appraiser
Appraiser and Auctioneer in New Jersey
The following is an excerpt from Antiques and The Arts Weekly - November 3, 2000
Suzy McLennan Anderson, ISA CAPP, has recently been awarded her CAPP designation (Certified Appraiser of Personal Property) by the International Society of Appraisers. This is the highest level of recognition the society can bestow, and is achieved only by undertaking a long-term, intensive course in appraisal principles and passing rigorous examinations on the theory and practice of professional appraising as well as ethical standards of practice and legal considerations.
Attaining the designation of CAPP is an outstanding professional achievement, and as of this writing, there are fewer than 125 CAPP appraisers in the United States and Canada.
Anderson is the owner of Heritage Antiques and Appraisal Services and Anderson Auctions, both located in Holmdel, NJ. She is also past president of the New Jersey chapter of the International Society of Appraisers.
From 1994 to 1998, Anderson appeared as a regular resident expert appraiser on the television program Personal FX - The Collectible Show. In January 2000, she joined the Internet services of Eppraisals.com as a member of their experts team. Anderson has also appeared occasionally on the television program, Treasures in Your Home.
As an author, Anderson has written The Collectors Guide to Quilts and The Antique Identification Resource Workbook. Articles written by Anderson have been published by Antiques and Collectible Magazine, Eclectic Magazine, Country Living, the Two River Times Newspaper, and numerous other industry related trade papers. Feature interviews have appeared in McCalls Magazine and New Jersey Country Road Magazine.
An instructor at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, NJ, Anderson teaches antiques identification courses.
