Some may laugh but I look for signs in that condition. No two are every alike.

Yeah me too... Just as important to me is if the owner actually had the history or a story about it

Here's her slightly less beautiful, but interesting in her own way, cousin.

I love the look of this. That is what I always go for but not many of my customers feel the same. The look is interesting.

Thanks. I'm not a fan of discussing personal finances, but my hobbies are self-supporting. Therefore,I decided long ago that the items with character were for me (I'm also a History teacher, so I like to think of them as living history). I harbor no envy towards fellow enthusiasts who can and do afford the primo pieces. As a matter of fact I'm pleased that they are able to discover and preserve those items and share them. As I tell my students, "It takes all kinds to make the world interesting."
