The one antique you'd give up all of your others for.

Because of my love for movie props, it would probably be for an incredible piece from one of my all time favorite movies (like the Time Machine prop from the original movie, the Ark from Raiders, or, a prop from Ben Hur).

What would you give up all of your other antiques for, if the opportunity were to present itself?

 

The Hope Diamond. LOL

 

The Holy Grail? I really LOVED Monty Python's Flying Circus!!!!

 

I'll stand pat.

 

Nah, I like variety.

(And I would get arrested for burgling a museum, probably.... )

 

No such thing exists, but I would give up a lot of them, if I got a nice antique house in return

 

A 1920s mansion in the Hollywood Hills. Then I"d sell it and start over again!

 

The finest samurai outfit , with all the bells & whistles.... and blades.

or
The gun Custer died with..

or

Blackbeards treasure....

or

a sword used by Samuel de Champlain ......

or

a lost Faberge egg..!

 

Doulton Pushkin or Martin Brothers Wally bird.

 

Sorry, can’t do it!

 

The majority of my antiques and other collectibles have meaning to me, their value in that regardless of rarity or lack thereof - have many items on my 'wish list', but none would be worth giving up everything from a half-century of hunting and gathering...

Ditto.

None of which are antique, so they don't count.

 

Y'know... I thought of that too....but don't like the way he looks at me !

 

Sometime in the 70's the Tut exhibit came to Seattle. I stood in line for a few hours, like thousands of others, to get up close an' personal with that specific funerary mask. It was in a heavy glass case at eye level, so I could stand eyeball to eyeball with King Tut. I did, for as long as the crowd would allow...repeatedly.
My recollection of that experience is as vivid as if it were only yesterday. Mesmerizing is a descriptive term that really doesn't do justice to those revelatory moments. His gaze, riveting an' regal over the centuries, was so unique, so powerful, so commanding...the memory gives me goosebumps to this day!

 

The jadeite Mdivani necklace, but no chance I could give up all my cherished precious to get it

 

Dang..

 

u did say Antique ....on an Antiquers site... so.....

 

Picky, picky...

 

I'm too eclectic in my choices, so an impossible question for me. Plus, like DragonflyWink, lots of my stuff has meaning to me (my kids can get rid of it after I'm gone).
