<p>[QUOTE="Joe in PA, post: 9743514, member: 12740"]Interesting question. All my grandparents were from the old country and tradesman or very small merchants and I think they were happy just to have enough. My parents grew up and had us kids during the aftermath of the depression and through WWII and also just got by. As we kids grew up we had some small amounts of expendable income at times and antiques were very reasonable and interesting and bought some here and there and collected. As I try to see what things my kids want me to hold on for them, its pretty limited, I guess they will find their own "antiques" - that their kids won't want <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
