'Antiques Roadshow' announces air dates of Cincinnati episodes

CINCINNATI - Thousands of people waited in line last summer to have the experts of the "Antiques Roadshow" examine their beloved family heirlooms and yard-sale treasures.

Guests, who had to enter a lottery system to acquire tickets, brought their items to the Duke Energy Center where the show gathered enough material for three full episodes.

Those episodes are set to air early April 1, 8 and 15 at 8 p.m. on CET. Each show will re-air on April 4, 11 and 18, respectively, at the same times.

CET officials shared sneak-peek tips on what viewers can expect.

The first episode will feature a baseball bat used by Mickey Mantle, Rookwood pottery, works by artist Edward Henry Potthast, and a visit to the American Sign Museum.

The second episode is set to have a suit that belonged to Colonel Sanders, a bronze horse sculpted by Solon Borglum and an 1846 map of the United States. The episode also includes a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo where the dangers of antique trades are discussed. 

The final episode includes handcrafted furniture, a French advertising post and a bust of Abraham Lincoln,  a 20th Century toy horse and buggy, and more.
