Antique Collectibles ArticlesBottles As Investments I often categorize bottles as lower end, middle and upper middle, and high end. I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal once which discussed this subject with respect to all antiques, but seem quite appropriate to bottles. In short, any investment has a potential return, and a risk. Read More... Collecting Antique Tools Tools made possible all human advances in art, knowledge, and industry. The history of these tools, the ideas of the men who invented them, and the skills required for their use are all areas I feel it is important to preserve. Tools are an extension of the human mind - the capabilities of the tool not only extend and shape the ways we think of things, but limit our thoughts as well. Read More... At Home With Bakelite “Plastic” objects are part of our history. These items represent a significant example of Americana. The Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art and the Philadelphia Museum all include “plastics” in their collections. Read More... Collecting Antique Irons American country irons flourished from 1850 to 1950. The most common early irons were cast in one piece and weighed from five to seven pounds. In the nineteenth century, they were found in every country home and were heated on cast iron stoves. They are commonly called "flat" or "sad" irons. "Sad" is an archaic word meaning "dense" or "heavy." Read More... Thimble Collecting Hello – my name is Barbara and I’m a digitabulist – a thimble collector. Thimbles have been one of mankind’s most basic tools. It has many more uses than simply pushing a needle through fabric. After World War I they became a popular advertising medium. In the 30s and 40s, red topped thimbles caught people's attention. Read More... Antique Typewriter Timeline One of the most frequent questions about old typewriters that I am asked is: when was a particular model manufactured? This page lists the year of introduction of many different typewriters that were manufactured during the "Golden Age" of typewriters. Read More... Dating Zippo Lighters Zippo lighters are a fast growing collectible that everyone can afford. You can find them in yard sales, auctions, flea markets, pretty much anywhere in the world. One of the fascinating aspects of this collectible is that it never seems to go out of style, Zippo's were cool when Bogart used them and they still are today! Read More... The Fine Art of Pick Collecting “You’re collecting guitar picks!? Is this a joke?” I can’t recall how often I’ve been accosted with this query. At this point I pull from my pocket (and how often can one carry around part of a collection in your pocket?) a small leather change purse containing a myriad of vintage plectra. Trapezoids, mosaics, cork-grips, corrugated. Read More... Are You Collecting or Investing? Most of the time we consider value to be a synonym for money. The question, "What's it worth?" almost always leads to a dollar amount. But value is actually more than money. Much more. Read More... Collectible Advertising Tins A few years ago I began to notice advertising tins pictured in many of the decorating magazines. Not just the old tins, which have been highly prized by collectors for years, but the newer tins were being shown more and more, often displayed in a country cupboard or on shelves around the kitchen. Read More... Collecting Fishing Tackle Collecting antique fishing tackle has become very popular in the last few years. At one time you heard "You collect what?", and "I didn't know anyone bought that old stuff". Now everywhere you turn there are collectors and dealers in old tackle. Brand names like: Heddon; Creek Chub; South Bend; Pfleuger; Shakespeare; Paw Paw; and just too many more to list are eagerly sought by collectors. Read More... Is your collection taxable? It's that time of year again. The tax man cometh, but is he going to exact a toll on your art holdings or other collectibles? Not surprisingly, it depends on whether you're making money on your collection or losing it. Read More... How to Identify Materials in Scrimshaw Ivory and Tusks Scrimshaw and other nautical antiques made of or incorporating ivory-like materials can be remarkably heterogeneous, that is, composed of a variety of materials. A "swift" made on board a whaling ship that we recently examined and conserved here at Buffalo State College, was made of whale tooth ivory, walrus ivory, and whale bone. Sorting these materials out as well as distinguishing them from reproductions and outright fakes can pose a challenge. Read More... United
