<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 797654, member: 35&quot;]OTOH, I’ve always wondered why old American furniture is more valuable with a crappy original finish on it.&nbsp; Looks better with a well done re-finish, IMHO.&nbsp; And why not polish copper and brass? I think shows like the Antiques Road Show makes us look at lots of stuff that is nothing but mass-produced junk and wonder, “Is this worth anything? Maybe I shouldn’t toss it.”&nbsp; And then there’s sentimental value which is why I am awash in 2 previous generation’s china and other objects...</p><p><br /></p><p>I am cutting up magazines and books for collage material which is my latest hobby (well, latest project that I probably won’t finish <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) and I’m not worried about it.&nbsp; I sincerely doubt anything I lay my hands on for a couple of bucks at the thrift will have collectible value, and if it does, then I sincerely hope I recognize it and sell it for profit! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
