Antique Questions Forum / Have any of you thought about

Have any of you thought about making a Facebook page with a name similar to this website? There seem to be lots of antique pages on the site but they are very specific to one or two types of items.

Healthy, vaccinated, boosted.
Immediate family has avoid the pandemic, with the exception of one cousin that spent 74 days on a respirator, 4 months in rehab, leg braces, still cannot drive.
I have replaced the daily interaction on this forum with things like Facebook and Match.com. Always hopeful I will find a nice guy!
Wishing you all spring dreams can’t wait to get back outside.

I am afraid dining room sets do not bring much. Lucking in my area if you could get $100 to $200 bucks. People are Eliminating dining rooms and using islands for meals.

The US required Porcelain to be labeled with country of origin back in the 1890s. He is an article on dating China.

Lots of German and Czechoslovakian China never had a brand name or a pattern name on its dishes.
Your dishes are beautiful do you have a complete set? China has gone way down in antique value. If you are not planning to keep it, Best way is to sell it as pieces.
Do you do a Google picture search for the cup or plate?

I believe that that some of the issues you’re talking about with Google an antique shop are correct. I do believe there’s a whole other factor also. Facebook groups. There are groups for everything.
I am in some for:
Antique identification in value
Antique and collectible‘s for sale
Identify and value my painting
Depression and elegant glass
Decoy collecting
There are so many more.. often posts on these sites get six or seven responses with in a minute or two.
I feel like the people that are posting are looking for an instantaneous answer. They are in the shop or at a yard sale, thrift store, or at a flea market and they want to know if somethings a good deal. Often they’re not contacting for information on their own items.
I think that is the same reason we get one post and the person never comes back.

Once you start changing things you can run into all kinds of problems with new building codes. If you love what you have be careful.

Antique Questions Forum / Re: Fairy No. 6 Potbelly Woodstove - Age? (Photos Fixed)
« on: February 21, 2020, 01:16:55 pm »
Advert for the Fairy A wood burning stove. 1920’s. Not your stove but similar.

I found a few things referring to the New York Stove Works that refer to a Fairy #7. I am not sure if New York stove works is a company or an area in New York with many stove companies.

Most potbelly stoves seem to be late 1800s to early 1900s.
Why they have gone out of fashion https://www.burlingtonfireplace.com/blog/whatever-happened-to-pot-belly-stoves/
This is a list of antique stove restorers from old house journal online:

Maybe if you sent them a picture they would have more knowledge on brands
