<p>[QUOTE="trip98, post: 3983, member: 65"]I started in the biz when I was 12 accompanying my mom on buying/selling trips and estate sales. My first important job was to "watch her stash" during estate sale buying. In high school my antique/collectable interest went into hibernation, but resurfaced while attending UCLA. It was a great way to make make extra money on my own hours as the area around the school was very nice with great sales. After graduation I got a "real" job, but still antiqued part time. Part-time Antiquer status has stayed with me for 25 years. I consider myself very knowledgeable in California, Studio and Art pottery. However, I will buy just about anything if the price is right. Now my kids are in college (one child graduated college yesterday And she was then only student speaker at the commencement!) I am spending more time than ever buying, selling and collecting Studio pottery 1940s-1970s. Love reading all your history and big thank you to all of you who share your knowledge![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
