Sewing machine, glasses and a Windsor chair - your antiques questions answered (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We received an email enquiry from June saying:- Mike, I have 28 of these that I have collected over the years. I don’t want to sell them, just to know something about them and perhaps value. I love them and think they are beautiful. Thanks June. Good morning, June What a wonderful set of 19th and 20th century glass items. They look very colourful. It must have taken you years to collect. They are predominantly from the 1890s/1900 and with this "spangled" effect, is often known as "End of day gla
Tampers are the most collectable item in pipe collecting terms today. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When walking in Norwich the other day, in the city centre, I suddenly thought, it is a very unusual sight today to see men, or ladies, pipe smoking. It used to be the sort of thing you saw on the corner of a street, maybe two or three people having a chat, or sitting on a bench, smoking away and chatting at the same time; this seems to have disappeared.

The psychology behind why people collect and what they collect (opens the original)

I must admit that, having been brought up close to the Norfolk coast, I have always enjoyed walking on the beach, particularly in winter. I well remember, many years ago, visiting the beach near Mundesley. I think it was on a Sunday morning, taking two small dogs for a walk on the beach, which they loved. Nobody would be about at that time of day, and so, when the family arrived at the beach and let the two dogs off, we were amazed to see that there was no beach. For something like a mile out, t
Old metal tin worth thousands could be hiding in your shed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Those old tins in the shed which contain nails and all sorts of other bits and pieces may not be as much rubbish as you thought. For some reason, the desirability to collect old tins, especially those that advertise various products, is very much in demand, alongside all sorts of advertising memorabilia. Tins have suddenly come to the forefront. Yes, they have to be old, as early into the 20th century as possible; some go back to the 19th century, but they are normally in a pretty bad state, but
