    My name is Eric Haefli. I live in Central Illinois. I work as a researcher for a major insurance company. My hobbies are playing basketball and table tennis and collecting antiques. My main collecting focuses are fine porcelain, art glass, art pottery, and toy trains.

    My interest in the group is to learn more and find people with common interests. None of my sports buddies are into antiques. My wife and kids like antiques to a certain point, but not to my level. When I retire, I would like to work in an antique shop.

    Welcome Eric. We can always use another glassie. And of course a rail nut. I was raised by one of those.

    No. I only have relation in Central Illinois and Colorado ... other than in Switzerland. My grandfather immigrated from Switzerland so we still have relatives in Switzerland.
