OK, after figuring this format out, I just wanted to introduce myself to say that I am a few years away from retiring and have discovered collecting. I have done many exciting things in my lifetime and I have to say that this hobby rates right up there with the best of them. I am having a blast and I am just awed every time I handle something that was made 100 or more years ago just to think it is stopping off in my house during its journey. If only these antiques could talk! I mostly collect Glass and Porcelain but am open to just about anything. I am doing a lot of research and loving it.
