I'm so glad I found your magazine. It's
insightful articles have helped me learn a lot about antiques and
collectibles I have. And what I like the most is that you don't try to
sell me anything. The information is priceless.
Thanks,
Gloria

Thanks so much for letting me know
what I have regarding our German-made musical chair. Would you be able
to recommend a trustworthy restoration person? And my wife and I read
your article about the musical chair in your Antique Spotlight section.
Now the chair makes sense and where that term came from. I hadn’t put
the two together. Thanks for any and all assistance.
Thanks,
Mike

I took your Educated Collector class
last fall with Wallingford/Swarthmore Community Classes, in Media, Pa.
and unexpectedly landed on your website today while I was exploring
Plasticville!
It happened because I came into possession of a box full of pieces from
my childhood yesterday and was trying to figure out what exactly I had.
Thanks to you, I have made sense of this puzzle and discovered that I
have in various stages of completion the Police Department, Fire
Department, Cape Cod House, Railroad Station, Diner, and more. I located
a seller and am in the process of listing the various chimneys, roofs,
and other replacement parts (not reproductions!) I need to complete the
various structures.
When finished, I plan to give them to my grandson, who already has an
O-gauge train set but no village. I am so delighted that this has
happened and I wanted to let you know how valuable your site was in
giving me the knowledge I needed. My husband helped too - he saw me
getting ready to toss Plasticville and he assured me they were vintage
(he had his own way back when). I immediately went to work to educate
myself.
Thanks,
Joan

I appreciate this information you sent
so much—and so quickly. I was driving myself crazy trying to date my
sideboard by hardware, finials, feet, door panels, and I thought the wood
was either mahogany or rosewood which wasn't helping! With details from
different styles this was certainly an impossible task for me. You
have renewed my interest in antique furniture, and I hope to do some
reading and research to help me date/style some other pieces that I
have. Sadly, there are not as many antique furniture stores in my area
as years ago. I will have to add your website to my
favorites so I can regularly check your blog.
Thanks,
Barbara
