Hello All! I've been reading this forum for a few months now and just decided to join the discussion. I have a few interesting items and one piece of treasure I could use a little help with. I'll post the treasure tonight. It should be a great surprise for everyone. As a hobby, I do restorations, cleaning, carving, and other types of general craft. I'm currently working on some 100 year old clocks I recently acquired. I have a small collection of hand colored early photographs from the Alaskan gold rush and some later ones from Alaska aviation subjects. In general, though, I am a lover of history. The curiosity satisfied in antiquing is much more valuable, to me, than any monetary value. However, sometimes a dollar value can give you a good idea of how interested everyone else is in history, too. haha So, I'd like to thank you all for the wonderful reading. This is a pleasant forum. I also thank you in advance for your opinions and ideas on the items I will be sharing with you.
Nice to have you here. Looking forward to seeing some of your items. We have quite a few people who like old photos. Hope you will share some.
Thank you so much for the warm welcomes! Now off to typing up my first post and a great surprise for you all!
There is a great knowledge base here from friendly folks. I love it. It has been great watching my threads and waiting for a new eye to say something. I appreciate it all very much... Tengan un buen dia!
