<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 4501609, member: 16283&quot;]Hollyblue- Certain threads seem to have more researched/documentable subjects :ie Silver &amp; Gold Marks,Jewelry Marks &amp; Stone or Gem Recognition/Tribal Arts/Porcelain &amp; Pottery Stamps,Dolls,Coins. Fine Art&nbsp;&nbsp; seems to be a much more difficult and amorphous subject to document (understandable-since artists are so damned flaky at reliably signing their work in a cohesive way-artists rarely stick w/ the same &#039;Logo&#039;/Signature their whole career). Although a great painting could buy you 5-10 houses,its a 1 in a million find-sadly most found/picked art is junk (no offense hard-picking friends).</p><p>&nbsp; Holly-Certain things take literally years to authenticate-Art,Antiquities,etc. I think if I continue to attempt to make a buck in the antique biz-it&#039;s got to be in Jewelry or some other reliably identifiable Item (albeit w/ some expertise). Expert Attribution&#039;s too tough on so many great pieces-not everyone can tap one of the British Museum&#039;s Dept Curators ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
