Collecting Antique Dolls By Owen Jones
Collecting antique dolls is a hobby that a great deal of women grow into or would like to if they had the time and, or the money. A collection of antique dolls in a beautiful display case is a very attractive asset, but collecting antique dolls is not as easy as it may seem. Well, to delineate that properly, it depends on what you would like the antique dolls for. As with any hobby that has the potential to make the collector money, it is not easy to get it right, but if you merely want to enjoy your collection you will have an easier time of it.
Millions of women collect old dolls, but it is doubtful that many of them actually earn any money out of their hobby, because you have to study and the professional competition is fierce. It is the same as collecting coins or stamps: you can have a beautiful collection of beautiful commemorative stamps or coins that is worthless in monetary terms, because there were too many of that sort or that year manufactured, whereas you could have a collection of a dozen drab stamps worth a million dollars. Therefore, if you would like to start a

collection of antique dolls, the first thing to do is visit the library and get out some books on the topic. If there are no illustrations, you can probably find some photos on the Internet in order to make identification easier. One of the first items you need to acquaint yourself with is the names of the most well-known manufacturers of dolls in the 150 years of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries. Learn the names of the firms, the names
of the dolls and an average price. If you come across what you think is a good deal at a car boot or yard sale, do not be put off by a shabby appearance. Many dolls lead a tough life, but they can be repaired fairly easily and there are many doll hospitals if you require expert help, advice or specialist parts like eyes or buttons. The original clothing can be repaired or replaced and the doll would still be valuable if it is rare, popular or

sought after. You know, some things are not especially rare but are still costly because they capture the imagination of a great deal of individuals. Baby Boomer toys from the Fifties and early Sixties will probably acquire this status once they retire and start a collection. Look out for antiques fairs to help you acquire more first hand knowledge. There are frequently specialized antiques fairs in fairly large towns and many fairs specialize in antique toys, in which the section on antique dolls is sure to feature fairly prominently. It is very helpful to be able to see the dolls 'in the flesh' so to speak in order to know what you should be looking out for when browsing. Books, photos and the Internet are useful resources, but there is no replacement for hands-on experience and talking with collectors and dealers who are fanatical about collecting antique dolls. About the Author: Owen Jones, the author of this article, writes on several topics, but is now involved with Silver Cross Dolls Prams. Please visit our web site at www.dollprams.org.

The Six Worst Mistakes You Can Make When Shopping for Antiques By Martin Swinton
Buying antiques can make a dent in your wallet, especially if you don't know what you are doing. The novice buyer can overpay for an undervalued piece. Here are some things to avoid the next time you are antiquing. 1.) Casually examining an item. Don't buy anything without looking at it thoroughly -- top to bottom and inside and out. Look for potential problems -- chips, cracks or marks. It's buyer beware. No refunds and no exchanges are not uncommon. A number of years ago, I purchased a pink Depression glass dish from another dealer. I just grabbed it, haggled the price down and walked away with my purchase. A few weeks later, upon closer inspection, I noticed a very small, hard to see imprint: "Made in Indonesia." So, be careful out there. 2.) Not knowing your stuff. Knowledge is power, even more so with antiques. Nothing is more heartbreaking than finding out that your English sterling silver teapot is actually electroplate on copper and made in China. I recall a customer wanting to consign her Quebec 1880's pine harvest table. It turned out that the table was from the 1970s and bore no similarities to anything that would have been manufactured in the 1880s. 3.) Buying the first thing that you see. Prices vary from shop to shop, shopping district to shopping district, city versus country. Do your homework. The big problem with antiques is that you'll never be able to compare
prices on the exact same thing. But, it's worth shopping around because you will find a range in price for similar items. 4.) Buying from someone unfamiliar. Buy from a trusted dealer. Keep in mind at flea markets and fairs anyone can rent a table for a single weekend. Establish a relationship with someone you know and trust. It's all about comfort. Get referrals from friends, family and acquaintances. 5.) Getting caught up in auction fever. Overpaying because of auction frenzy is not uncommon. Before you know it, you can be the proud owner of an armoire the size of an industrial refrigerator that you have no room for. That's when the dreaded buyer's remorse sets in. Stories abound about great deals at auctions. You don't often hear about the blunders; yet they do happen. 6.) Non-do-it-yourselfers buying fixer-uppers. Unless you are an accomplished doit-yourselfer, some deals don't really turn out that way. I see lots of people bringing in a half-stripped chair for me to finish because the job was simply overwhelming. If you bought the chair for $25 it's one thing to add the cost of restoration. However, if you paid $200 thinking that you'd do the work and then you don't, now you have to add another $200 for restoration and your deal is now up to $400 -- not so much of a deal. However, add $200 for restoration to your $25 chair you're still only at $225 -- still a deal.

beer steins. With almost any of these products there are antiques and rarities that can provide a fascinating window into history. Beer bottles and cans
Beer bottles have changed continually over the years. "Stubbies" are considered very collectible by many but there are also a variety of other sizes and styles. In antique beer bottles, you may find country painted bottles, large and small bottles, as well as vintage collectible bottles. In
Breweriana: World of Beer Cans, Posters the store at beerclassifieds.com, we have even seen Three Stooges beer bottles (nyuck, nyuck!). Similarly, numerous changes to the beer canning process over the years have left some vintage beer cans in their wake. Some oddball but still very cool collectible beer cans include cone tops and flat tops. We have seen many beer can collections come through our store containing hundreds of unopened beer cans from America's - and the world's - brewing past.
Beer posters
Many people are rightly fascinated by beer posters and advertising from the past. Many of these posters contain culturally antiquated ideas (including racism and sexism, of course) and you can find many beer poster advertisements that have been well preserved and make excellent conversation pieces for your home or commercial bar. Some of the most famous posters are from the prohibition and preprohibition eras.
Openers
Bottle openers also have a fascinating and varied past, including many flat figural bottle openers with a wide variety of designs and embossings. The online bottle openers collectors club called Just For Openers has over 250 members worldwide. Beer Steins While beer steins are made all over the world in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles, the most collectible are the original German lidded steins, the older the

better. The earliest beer steins came into use sometime in the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries and any stein made before the twentieth century is highly covetable. The website beerclassifeds.com features a constantly changing inventory of fascinating beer collectibles from throughout the ages of brewing and manufacturing. About the Author: Jim Huinink is the owner of beerclassifieds.com, a website with a wide selection of beer collectibles such as collectible beer steins, cans, bottles and more.

Antique iron banks are considered to be one of the most popular collectible of all American toys. Most of these banks are complex in their design, very rare and are in great demand by collectors. Made between the 1860s and 1930s, vintage cast iron banks can be divided into two categories, Still Banks and Mechanical Banks. Still Banks were the first mass produced American toy banks and did not have any moving parts. A coin was merely dropped in a slot. Buildings, animals and people were the most common design for still banks. One of the earliest was a penny bank made to accommodate the first large copper coin minted in 1793 by the United States Mint. Mechanical Banks appeared during the late 1800s. A patent for a mechanical bank called Halls Excelsior was filed in 1869. The peak of production of mechanical banks was the period between 1860 and 1940. At least four hundred distinct types were made and for each there were usually many variations. When one manufacturer produced a popular bank, his competitors were likely to copy it. Mechanical Banks were toys intended to
encourage children to save their pennies by making the process fun. In some, the mechanical action rewarded the child with a piece of candy. Essentially the mechanical banks were simply designed for the amusement of children. Their mechanical action would be started by depositing a coin or pressing a lever. Mechanical banks made of cast iron became popular shortly after the Civil War, when several northern foundries started producing them as a side line to their regular business of casting such items as stoves, plumbing fixtures and tools. The J. & E. Stevens Company of Cromwell, CT was one of the largest. Manufacturers competed to see how complex they could make their banks operate. To perform stunts, mechanical banks relied on various combinations of levers, springs, wheels and other moving parts. The weight of the coin plays an essential role by moving a lever from one position to another, causing a wheel to rotate activating other parts. The more intricate the outer mechanism of the bank, the more complex the inner mechanism worked.
by Glyn Farber
So the sophistication of the mechanism is important. Collectors look for mechanical banks with interesting action as well as historical significance. Yes, political subjects were also popular. During World War I, when the production of cast iron was severely limited, manufacturers began to use tin, wood and other materials for banks. Since the 1940s most mechanical banks are made of plastic. There is also a flood of reproduction banks on the market. A "repro" as they are called, do not have the same detail, and in most cases are slightly smaller. No paint or poor paint jobs and a lighter weight are just three ways to spot and imitation. About the Author: Glyn Farber has published a catalog of all known Hickey Brother Cigar Store Tokens and co-authored a book about Louisiana Trade Tokens. In addition he wrote several articles for The Token and Medal Society (TAMS) and The National Token Collectors Association (NTCA). Glyn has been a devoted collector of Louisiana Trade Tokens, Louisiana collectibles and Lake Charles, LA postcards for almost 40 years.
