Antiques and Collectibles

nomoregames47 asked:


My mother has a a very old china teapot that only says ‘Made in England’, and an equally old set of salt and pepper shakers that may be silver. I’m trying to research this for her, not so much to find out their value as to find out what she actually has.

Just wondering, since YA doesn’t seem to want to put an antiques section here. I have quite a few items i would like to get more info on.
The problem is, I can’t look up an item if I don’t know what it is (Who made it, etc).

amazon is changing and screwing up many housewives,and older peoples opportunity to sell old & rare books,ebay isnt all that great either.
So surely there are more places than these two??

I love the antiques roadshow and things of that nature. I would like to learn more about antiques (NOT TO BE a PRO)!
I would just like to learn more from books or websites or whatever. I can’t go to classes because I’m kinda housebound but would still like to learn more. Thanks!
Yes I know I said I wanted to learn from books but I was hoping you could recommend some specfic ones!

I have lots of STUFF I need to get rid of. LOTS of china cups and saucers, glassware, a collection of OLD TIN BOXES (tobacco,coffee tins) old perfume bottles, minature ceramic hinged boxes,old blank prestamped postage postcards,(1 cent 3 cent etc.) stamp collection, old milk bottles,old keys, old medicine bottles and tins, old scales, collection of old glass doorknobs, etc. etc. STUFF like that! My Husbands LATE wife collected everything! I have no interest in that, AND have no desire to keep or dust these items., and have neither the time or $ to determine whats valuable and whats not! I’m sure SOME is of it is, and some is PROBABLY just junk! BUT I don’t know how to tell the difference. I’ve tried going on line, checking out e-bay, buying antique books, it’s all too confusing! I need Someone KNOWLEDGEABLE about these things to come to my house,,sort it,document it, take it away, price it, and SELL it! W/O taking advantage of my ignorance and ripping me off. CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME?

I’m trying to find the 1995 editions of Northern Lights/Subtle Knife/Amber Spyglass in good condition, but it either doesn’t exist on Ebay or is simply extremely overpriced when it is. Help, anyone?
