Harry L. Rinker is the owner of Rinker Consulting, a firm specializing in appraisal, consulting, research, writing, and media services in the antiques and collectibles field.

He previously hosted "Collector Inspector" on HGTV and appeared in several television specials, as well as on major programs including "Oprah," "Good Morning America," "Today," "CBS This Morning," and "Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser."
A prolific author and editor, Rinker has written or edited dozens of books and price guides on antiques and collectibles.

Appointed by the U.S. Postmaster General to serve on the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee from 2012 to 2014, Rinker has also built a distinguished career as a museum professional, educator, and lecturer. He holds advanced degrees in American decorative arts and professional writing and currently serves as an adjunct professor at Davenport University.
