I need some help. Six years ago in Denver, Colorado I bought a set of Silver at an estate. The man who had died brought it back from Germany at the end of WWII and said that it was German officer's silver flatware. The family was ashamed he had "stole" it and never used it. Because it is… Continue

25 Gallon Water Jug/Cooler

Hello, I have a 25 gallon water jug/cooler with no markings except for the number 25 engraved on it.

Where the spout would go at the bottom, the whole has been filled in with a gummy substance. It stands approx 3 ft. tall and has 2 handles made of the same pottery material. My step dad bought it in southern MO. They were tearing down an ol… Continue

The Lifes Blood of the Antique and Collectibles Trade

Dealer to Dealer Sales, Life blood of the Antiques Trade. With out Dealer to Dealer sales the Antiques and Collectibles Business would fold. It's not much talked about, but everyone is aware of it.

Of course that's not a wholly accurate statement, but it does get to the point, that yo… Continue
