I have been looking for more on that cobalt vase and can't find anything on it!


Jacon4 we do have natural gas for a lot of our home.  Problem was that there was a hiccup in the Natural Gas flow due to the power plants themselves! 

Even though they were doing rolling power outs in areas...our neighborhood was out solidly for 6 days!

Yeah, when natural gas isn't flowing, that is BAD NEWS INDEED!

Well, I never really left, ditto the other site. Although admits I do go for months without posting, ditto here. INH messaged me about where are they now? or some such, geez it's SPRING! Some of those old ladies should get out of the house more, there is a world beyond these forums, trust me. Fact is, there isn't/hasn't been anything to post about, here or there.

Now that I have managed to blow this thread totally apart, my most recent piece, Feb 2021
 Hanging wall cupboard, Delaware River Valley ( probably Philadelphia) C. 1770, walnut with poplar/pine secondary and "Rat-Tail" hinges.

$450. was the number and I consider I STOLE IT! Antique 18th century hanging cupboards are very HOT in the marketplace, not sure why. They usually go for thousands so I was very pleased with this purchase. :)

Well, it kinda depends on what you are buying, the market is all over the place, very volatile.

Hey, I was just over to the other site, you are MIA on the furniture part (the only place I go there), have you pitched it over the side already?

I hear you, you haven't missed much on the other forum, trust me. At least as far as old furniture goes, dunno about other areas of collectibles. It's more of an online old fogey social club with various pieces of junk floating by.
 I had drifted off myself until a moderator private messaged me about a thread titled "where have they gone" lamenting the fact that many members are no longer active over there.
The beginning of the end perhaps? I don't know but not a good sign when you have threads with that kind of title, that's for sure.

Jacon4 I could never get the confirmation to join the site after trying for over a year.  Gave up.  Still pop in and browse occasionally.
