New Member and New to Antique Collecting

Good Day and Thank You for allowing me to join your group. I'm Doug, recently retired from 22 years on active-duty USAF and am looking to retiring from US federal govt service in a couple years. Just started looking for possible hobby / small source of income and since I live in the DC / N Virginia area decided to collect antiques. Have recently bought a couple items at a sale and was hoping that I could run them by you intelligent and knowledgeable folks to let me know what they might be, timeframe, and possible value. Looking forward to interacting and getting to know some of you down the line. Thanks Again! - Doug (MSgt, USAF Retired)
