I Start A New Collecting Site!

I've started a new site, Inherited Values, because I wanted a place where I could, with other moms and pops in the biz, focus on sharing the joys of collecting old things with collectors. Dealers, after all, have plenty of matchmaking tales ;)

As the site tagline says, we don’t do antiques and vintage collectibles by the book!

* At Inherited-Values.com the focus isn't on… Continue

Society Sweet Scotch Snuff

What I did not know was that snuff basically comes in two versions... the (primarily) European version, which is dry and usually scented or flavored and is intended to be sniffed through the nose. And then there… Continue

Cross-Eyed Ape Joke Still Works After All These Years

I paid 50 cents for this fragile old piece of paper mocking a woman for the way she dresses. (At first glance, I was certain it was mocking the man; but the ape proffers a red dress with white hearts.) I'm not sure why I had to have it; but I did.

when you walk by people GAPE -- who picks…

Ephemera Blog Carnivals

The long story is here, but the short version is that because I'm addicted to ephemera & vintage stuff, I have two problems when I turn to Google for information (one is what’s missing, and the other is that I don’t know about something in order to find it) , I've started two blog carnivals:… Continue

Surround Yourself with Vintage Advertisements

Remember that fancy party dress Mom wore to the Country Club, Dad’s favorite fishing lure or the family’s first new car? Those items may be gone but you can take a walk down memory lane with the old ads.

Vintage advertisements are colorful, nostalgic, and are an excellent and inexpensive way to change your décor in just a few moments. Take a simple frame with a simple mat and you can change the ad to fit your mood in the blink of an eye.

Magazine advertisements are a… Continue
