Raccoon Forks Trading Company reads first as a Des Moines antique-store lead, not as a documented appraisal-practice page. The FAIR profile lists antiques and personal property, Antiques and Estate categories, estate/probate routing, website-backed unclaimed status, and no public FAIR fee or USPAP education detail. Its site identifies an East Village store at 621 Des Moines Street plus a second Des Moines location, and describes buying and selling curated antiques, collectibles, vintage items, and vinyl records. Use it for object-category and local-market context, then confirm directly whether any independent written appraisal report is available or whether the path is retail, purchase, consignment, or seller intake.
The antiques page lists showroom categories including wall hangings, furniture, stained glass, lighting fixtures, Arts and Crafts, primitives, Civil War and Victorian-era material, antiquarian books, paintings, maps, advertising, signs, glassware, bottles, ceramics, mid-century housewares, toys, vintage clothing, and vinyl records.
If contacting through the seller form, separate the question of whether the store might buy an item from whether it can provide an independent written appraisal; ask who signs any report, what fee model applies, and whether fees are independent of purchase or sale result.
Written from registry data and this appraiser's public materials. Descriptive only — not a certification, ranking, or endorsement.
