Anyone Collect Antiques? (Pics)

redhen, I have that exact glass jar that is sitting next to your icebox. I bought it on Amazon and it is now used to hold dried flowers I have collected over the years.

I went antiquing yesterday and saw some great things, esp. furniture. There was this beautiful secretary desk and a hand-painted chest but they were way out of my budget. Good thing the store has layaway if I ever decide to get furniture there. All I bought was a springform bundt cake pan that I used today to make an apple upside down cake..fabulous! And it was less than $4

I just purchased an old poultry catalog from 1928. It has some really neat ads in it!

lol...there are many strange items in the book. I'll have to scan and post some more tidbits. I'd like to scan the entire book so I have a digital record of it, then I think I will probably just have it mounted in a frame or something; maybe print off some of the "interesting" pages inside and shrink them down to also display in the frame.

I grew up with great-grandma, grandma, and mother that collected antiques. They started my collection growing up, but quite honestly was never in love with any of their big collections. The only things that I have kept and not passed to other family members are my drop rose plates and my purple slag. When I moved out at 17 I started my own collection of junk. I collect Hoosier type cabinets, old farm equipment, have a ton of old cider presses, wagon wheels, old tools, canisters, mason jars, bottles, old chairs, really anything that takes up a ton of room and is hard to move. Husband doesn't like to move it so it stays.
