Plot outline

Antiques Roadshow comes to Seattle, and after an enjoyable evening watching the previous show together, Martin and his sons decide to take a family heirloom for appraisal. The object, which is a pewter clock, turns out to be Russian, and is one of a collection made exclusively for the imperial Romanov family. It is valued at $25 000, which Martin is delighted by. Frasier and Niles are more interested in the Romanov connection, and they know that their great-great-grandmother was from Russia. They decide to research their family history, thrilled at the possibility that they may be descended from royalty, but they do not tell Martin, who thinks they are ashamed to be Cranes. They soon find that the clock was last seen in Moscow in the same year that their great-great-grandmother emigrated, and the excitement grows when Dr. Myshkin from the Russian embassy phones to say he has something important to tell them. What they do not know is that Martin is planning to sell the clock.
