Greetings friends,
I am a full-time student from Montreal city in Quebec/Canada and I am currently looking for a new interesting hobby that could bring me an indirect flow of money to help me pay the bills. Antique collecting seems to fit this task like a glove. Treasure hunting is fun and interesting!
I have recently come across a box filled with little treasures such as old rosaries, religious icons and jewelry. The only problem I have is when I do a research on a specific item, I don't know where to start and I struggle just to find basic information such as the material in which the object is made or the era from which it come from.
This is where you friends come into play.
I will try and post the best pictures I can of the items I am not sure of the era/material/value/etc. and you guy have fun in trying to identify those. I am very curious about the history behind most of these objects and will try to accumulate as much information as I can before considering selling/trading/fixing/etc.
