Hi all, As i am new here, and probably one of a few females, i would like to start by saying i have been collecting for approx 8 years. Sad part, i am now selling off mnay of my items only to be discouraged by the fact that some items are said to be repro's! But are they? I have been referrred to this site by a friend a hope that i cam call on you all to assist em in identifing some of my items. i have read through previous posts and see you are all quite valuable. Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary..please post the pics here, and perhaps we may be of help!..

If you cannot post, just send the pics to me at: douglas.cook@rogers.com and i will post them for you..

Hi Marry:

We hope to hear back from you.
You can email the images to me as well.
I can resize and post them for you if you like.
We are always happy to help a fellow collector here.

Don't worry, most of us have picked up a few bad pieces along the way.
Sadly, that is a part of this hobby that we have learned to expect now and then.
Your collection may not be as bad as you fear.

By the way, we have several female collectors in our community.

Mary,
if I may ask, where abouts in NY are you? did another member here refer you?
you can respond via a private message if you like.
regards,
Paul
(western NY here)

Brooklyn, NY, here.....

Did any of you hear anything further from Mary? I hate it when these threads are left dangling.....

Mike,
we are all dangling with you!

There have been a few of these lately..no reply here either..sometimes i wonder ( as i have said in a previous thread..) if we are just being used a free appraisal service for antique dealers..

Yes.
