<p>[QUOTE="Psittac, post: 335512, member: 3881"]It was my grandmother and grandfathers collection, The last of which passed a few years ago. We are just now getting to the collection. My father has been going to local antique shows but none of the stuff posted has been brought that I'm aware of. We are planning on putting up an online store at some point, all of the posts i'm making are the groundwork for that. I don't respond a lot to post's because it's all just an overwhelming haze, but I'm filing it all away for when the time comes to research each piece. That's why I've started asking for any and all information to make it easier to research. And thank you for the complement, this was her passion and she spent most of her life working on her collection. Unfortunately thing's got complicated for numerous reasons before and after she died and we weren't able to download her resume of knowledge. My grandfather gave us a few tips on some of the stuff, and we can assume the things which were on display, mainly in the large chest should be of more value. If you get any leads on an auction site that would be great! We are mostly worried about selling something for a fraction of what it's worth, before my grandfather passed he got a vase to an auction that was on the cover of the pamphlet and it went for quite a sizable amount. We believe that we also have a piece of pewter from paul reveer's son so we will need to look in to that as well. I know that these thing's are worth much less than they used to be and I'm not trying to make the collection out to be some holy grail, I just want to be in the know so we don't get taken advantage of. On top of that I'm having fun going through all of these pictures and learning, though most of it hasn't sunk in. I'm taking somewhat of an interest myself and will be setting up a display case at my house and fill it with occasional "shopping" trips to the collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
