Tonight, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW takes over GBH 2 with a full hour of Vintage Portland at 8pm followed by two half-hour recuts with a medical theme: at 9pm, explore artifacts and artistry with health and medicine history across generations including a Lakota Sioux doctor’s bag, a “Female Physician” trade sign from around 1835, and a salesman’s sample operating chair. And at 9:30, we have just what the doctor ordered: a half-hour of treasures related to physical and mental health and well-being including a WWI snakebite kit, a Fern Isabel Coppedge oil painting (above), and an Apache medicine pouch from around 1880.
