<p>[QUOTE="MacMorrighan, post: 261102, member: 5119"]Hey guys, I just wanted to share with you some items on my antique wish list that I have been having an impossible time finding locally, here in Iowa. (I tend not to buy antiques on-line since I am a very tactile shopper as I have to examine it with my own eye and hands before I commit!) I have spoken with antique dealers and pickers with almost 50 years of experience in dealing in antiques, and they have *never* seen these items anywhere in Iowa. Some of the items, when I *do* rarely see them on eBay, they quickly command several hundred dollars more than they are worth (even for very shabby specimens that can no longer be used!) when the buyers usually, I have seen, simply hang them around for display, rather than actually using them in their kitchen as a utensil. I, on the other hand, want to use them! They are three different patterns of pyrex (the dealers around here *always* know the value of their wares!); vintage butter molds that I am always on the lookout for; Descoware bean pots (I collect all manner of unusual bean pots, because they resemble cauldrons...no one in Iowa has ever seen Descoware before!); and a Griswold cast iron corn bread pan with the wheat stick pattern!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]81674[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]81675[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81676[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81677[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]81671[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]81672[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]81673[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
