Interesting! It's so good to find any useful info on antique collecting. When I became a dealer 20 years ago, I had collected for years and thought I knew everything. I now realize that I still hardly know anything! Check out my directory website http://www.antiquesNut.com or my site for the inexpensive antiquing trips to Europe: http://www.EuropeAntiqueTrip.com

Tips for Picking Your Favorite Antiques

Hello, I'm Statia Widak and I'm from Plainville, Massachusetts and I love collecting glass it is my hobby. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. These are some of my favorite pieces that I've come across. The first one is a four story lamp that was, it's got the colony design it was made between 1930-1980 something and then Viking took over and they made some lamps too. I don't know how many they made but that is one of my favorites and I use it in my bedroom as a night light. Then we have another lamp that was imported. Handmade it's an unusual design. It's got the three tiers, or four tiers right here the prisms are missing but if you put prisms on it would make it beautiful. This is a heavy glass cigarette lighter that was used, which of course we don't use today cause nobody smokes, but it's a beautiful piece of glass. And here is a napkin holder, we don't usually put these on our tables today but in 1930, 40, 50, 60's that what we used many of these. And that's a sandwich design.
