    Hi,
    I'm relatively green to antiques and collectibles but for one reason or another I have been pulled into orbit of a couple of collectors and even an antique shop owner in the past few years; this is why I'm here.

    The person that instilled my interest in antiques passed on this year. He ran a profitable life long business.

    ....So now I need like-minded people to help me grow my expertise in my narrow areas of interest: bronze, silver, jade, Japanese prints/Chinese dynastic items. Additionally, I dabble in comics, sports and film props. Again, not really by choice.

    Background:
    Started with infrequent garage sales somewhat enthusiastically a few years ago when I came across very old and lavish things for pennies in one particular neighborhood...but my enthusiasm fizzled out when I was simply unable to move my items to continue building a more valuable collection.

    After a recent spell, I have had more fortune with finding items that are desirable, and to bat, ones I personally appreciate. My hope is to keep building a collection of varied items for a longer run...

    --

    In joining Antiquers, I'm relieved to find such a wealth of knowledge and expertise for research and comradery. Thank you.

    Welcome, Brownboxes.

    That's a pretty broad range of narrow interests. :joyful:

    @mirana They're playing your song.
