Ah then you got it now Dana. It really intrigues me what people have around the place and have no idea of the value a simple little piece might have. Not to mention I love to hear about the history of the object. Fascinating.
Hmmmm.....I have two old steamer trunks full of things I cleaned out from my grandmothers house, mostly old china, dishes and silver. I wouldn't sell it but some of the names I found online were indicated antique values.
Well try to find some of them online and don't do anything with them until you have them appraised by a reputable peron who knows that area of collecting. Or go to the library and find some good antique or collectible books and start reading..you might be surprised.
Are these yours....or is the picture from your trip to the antique shop with your sister?? Lovely shot darlin,,,,but then, we do get the best from you, don't we.........
This is a small synopsis of the book... Celebrating the collectible-that 20th-century object that brings with it less monetary value than passion, nostalgia, quirky appeal, and just plain pleasure-ANTIQUES ROADSHOW COLLECTIBLES focuses on 12 major areas that inspire both the thrill of the chase and the thrill of discovery: furniture, photographs, posters and illustration art, costume jewelry and wristwatches, dolls, toys, advertising memorabilia, sports, glass and pottery, and more. A guide to value rather than price, it is packed with a wealth of information that will help turn any interested flea market fiend into a first-class collector. From the innovative design of Bertoia chairs to the high-quality crafting of costume jewelry to the surprising variety of PEZ dispensers, here are 416 pages brimming with information. Bound into the book is a 32-page full-color section, while hundreds of black-and-white photographs illustrate every chapter. There are Antiques Roadshow discoveries, tips from experts and appraisers, the steps to becoming a focused collector-even how to use pieces without compromising their value. After all, isn't it more fun to eat off the Fiesta ware?
