George The NC Picker :)

New to this forum/community. Wish I had found it years ago. I am a retired entrepreneur that was told by my wife I needed to find something to do. So, I started picking, buying stuff for resale simply because I love searching for pieces of history and beautiful items. This kind of funds itself and keeps me quite busy.

I have been doing this for 7 or 8 years or so. Started out just buying storage lockers that looked interesting. Moved to thrifting and auction houses. Found a lot of neat stuff over the years. Probably given away a fortune...lol.... Since I don't really have any attachment to anything, it never has hurt my feelings. I do like to deal in jewelry primarily because gold and silver are always worth something.

In all things, I know just enough to get in trouble. I am usually decent at researching, but really struggle with finding the value on some of the more unique items I find. As I like to say, I am not the brightest bulb in the pack

Anyway, happy to be here and join a community of like minded curious people that have a passion for the quality of old items, history and art. I hope to be a solid contributor to the community.

Wife is taking me to the mountains for the weekend, so I really didn't feel like doing much work today and decided to join the community since it was on my things to do

 

Greetings !

( any antiqueing to be done in the mountains ???? )
