<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 9743508, member: 27"]The rich always had cast offs and the poor always bought them if they could . Mom said in the 50s antiques were dirt cheap and "modern" stuff was unaffordable so young marrieds often had antiques cause they were cheaper . Not to mention people gave them stuff to furnish their 1st homes. I grew up seeing lots of depression glass,Fiesta ware etc that was just used stuff then. Mom had some she got from my great aunt,and we used them all the time.Same great aunt gave us a 1940s living room set in green mohair and us kids hated it cause it was itchy ! When my dad started making money,mom got rid of all the "old crap" with a quickness ! Then we had to look at orange floral 'colonial' crap for the next 40 years ! People always collected,but I dont think it was a thing really until the 70s . Tons of folks collect now .Or resale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
