People think they are so rebellious and original, when really they are just banal, boring and dumb.

Many antique dealers start out as pickers. I knew a very successful dealer that had at least 6 pickers at any time.Originally Posted by Forgotten Man
Believe you me, I've seen that show and feel I could be a better guy for the job... I need to find a way to do that type of thing... it would be lots of fun I think!
There definitely is an "eye" for antiques. Like a cook or artist. You are born with it though some can learn it I don't believe all is the same.
I like to think I have an eye for it though online you have to list constantly to get traffic and this is hard to do every day with the high end items. Plus it demands different likes and cost ranges.
Why you do see smaller or lower end items a lot of the time on various places on the net. Catch 22.

I'm currently on holiday in Singapore, visiting family and enjoying Chinese New Year. A couple of days ago, dad and I headed to the Thieves' Market on Sungei Road, Singapore. The Thieves' Market is Singapore's oldest flea-maket (in continuous operation since the 1930s). While there, I stumbled across this very neat fountain pen:
It is a 1970s Sheaffer Targa 1005 squeeze-filler fountain pen. The exact model that my father was once gifted by his older sister, as a wedding-present. It was a set (FP & BP), but the fountain pen was stolen years ago.
Now that I have it back, I'm going to reunite the set.
...Where did you get that hat, where did you get that tile? Isn't it a nobby one and just the proper style! I should like to have one just the same as that. Whereever I go they'd shout "hello, where did you get that hat?..."

Scored these vintage, but as new and unused, photo albums. The first one is very Art Deco to my eye.
Ideas as to era?...

I found this today for a couple of bucks. It's dated 1963. A definite 'must have' for your fall-out shelter...

That's a Corona Sterling -- very nice machine, I learned to type on one very similar to that. They were first made in 1940, and remained pretty much unchanged thru 1948 -- postwar they were branded "Smith Corona," so this one is a prewar model. Take good care of it, and it'll last forever.
