[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9725438, member: 2844"]Always nice to find extra information, bosko.:) Some of your stuff probably does. Museums don't just exhibit the rare and valuable, they also show representative items of a culture or period. Those can be pretty mundane. Not saying your collection is mundane, of course.:playful: You have shown us some real beauties. Nearly all Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fans post-1910 or so are mass produced, so there are many like them. They are useful and often pretty, but not collectible. And for use people prefer folding fans that fit in a handbag.[/QUOTE]
