Post by: Toky on May 06, 2011, 00:15:46 AM: I collect old, unusual shaped china cups and saucers. Not whole tea sets, just individual ones. I also collect old hairdressing memorabillia, open razors, real hair beaded hairnets, clippers, etc. I am still searching for an old, original salon price list, if any of you come upon one on your travels.
:D

Title: What Do You Collect?
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on May 06, 2011, 09:34:31 AM: I collected Belleek Irish Pottery, but I had to stop as I had so much I ran out of places to put it.

Things not to collect, anything brass or copper. All this stuff has died a death because nobody wants to clean it.

Take a look around the house any ornament or vase that has "Moorcroft" on the bottom is a sure fire winner. Moorcroft pottery is red hot just now and making lots of money at Auction.

Also vintage clothes accessories and shoes are really making it big. The fashion has started because lots of famous woman including film stars are wearing vintage. However, vintage must be in immaculate condition.

Post by: busybee on May 06, 2011, 19:35:22 PM: I collect buttons and beads, not for any monetary value. My daughter used to play with her Nans button jar and sadly it was thrown in a skip when she died. My daughter was really upset as she always said the only thing she wanted of her Nans was the buttons. I am trying to start another another collection. Any donations I would be very grateful. I even take shirt buttons off if its no good for the 3 C,s committee stall!!!!
