Hints About antique car radio

Examine the Drawers. Check the drawers. Make sure they slide in and out without resistance or wobbling. Most pieces of furniture made before 1900 will have dovetail joints on the drawers. Dovetails will be precise on pieces made after the advent of the machine age in the 1830s or 1840s; dovetails executed before that will be uneven and done by hand. Butt joints are a sign of inferior workmanship.

The condition of any piece has direct bearing on its value. But be careful that you understand what condition means. Often a piece of furniture with its original cracked and battered finish will be worth more than if you have it sanded and refinished. Condition vs. damage is relative to each individual piece. Research your areas of interest and understand what does and does not constitute value.

Where can you get antique clocks? You can wander through almost any antique store or mall and see some sort of old clock. Finding the exact piece you want may take some time, however, unless you visit a dealer who specializes in old time pieces. Certainly there are online auction sites, but if this is a one time purchase or is you are a beginning collector using such auctions can be problematic. You may simply not yet have the knowledge to judge if the piece on which you are bidding is authentic and of a good quality.

Where Antiques Originate, and How You Can Find More!

By Michael Temple

It's important to understand where antiques originate. Many antique buyers make the mistake of mis-understanding the process by which antique items are found.

Many collectors and dealers waste valuable time searching in places where they believe that these items are in great abundance. But a true understanding of where antiques originate seems to have eluded many well meaning antique dealers and collectors.

Its elementary Watson!

If you want to find fresh-to-the-market antiques and collectibles, you need to go where they are in great abundance, and where they originate!

Antiques do not orginate at auctions, or at flea markets, or at antique shows. Antiques originate in peoples homes. This is a fundamental truth for 99% of all antiques that you will ever see.

Another truth that many people overlook.

The other simple fact is, that most antiques that you are most likely to get a great deal on reside in the homes of people who are older. Young people do not, as a general rule have antiques in the abundance that older people do. Why? Because older people came from a generation that saved everything, and you will find that a majority of the time they have kept it all!

From the 1950s toys in the closet to the old toaster that was just too good to throw away, older folks still have most of everything they ever owned.

Where will you spend your 'prime-time?'

Knowing these two fundamental truths about where antiques originate, begs a big question. Knowing that antiques originate in peoples homes, and that antiques are most likely to reside older peoples homes, where will you be attempting to spend a majority of your prime time? It tooks me years to understand the following principles.

1. To buy more fresh antiques you have to see more antiques.

2. To see more antiques, you must look at more household accumulations on a consistant basis.

3. To accomplsih this, you simply must get into more peoples homes where the antiques originate.

Knowing and understanding these principles will put you light years ahead of your competition! Believe me, I know antique dealers and collectors, and most of them find their antiques through one of only 5 methods. They find them through garage / estate sales, auctions, 'goodwill' type stores, flea markets and 'pickers'.

Knowing and understand the above principles will help you to focus on where you will find the most antiques...in peoples homes. If you want to be incredibly successful, you have to go where the antiques originate. If youre truly serious about finding fresh antiques its time to focus on that and only that! That focus will take you farther than you ever thought possible!

BROKEN HARDWARE. If you plan to replace broken antique or vintage hardware, remove it carefully. Don't throw it out; store it where you can find it easily. If possible, wrap it and label the package, and keep it in a drawer in the item. If you can't find a suitable replacement for the original hardware, some metal shops can cast an identical piece for you. But, "old house" dealers carry reproductions of the most common styles of antique hardware. You may also find replacement parts at antiques shops and auctions. Consider buying a similar piece of furniture--in worse condition--for parts.
