Message:: [QUOTE="KCredrage, post: 295036, member: 5959"]Howdy Everyone!   I am a brand spanking new member and just wanted to introduce myself.  I am a, going on 14 yr, Disabled Vet that started “collecting” Hand Blown Art Glass 14 years ago.  My fascination started going into almost anything that caught my eye and looked OLD!  I learned how to peruse thrift stores from my younger brother, who was a natural whiz at it, and got hooked when I saw my first real signed glass Murano paperweight, after becoming Permanently Disabled.  I started to purchase Art Glass guide & worth books like a fiend.  Within a year I had a pretty good handle on (or rather EYE) for the real treasures I was searching for and became totally hooked!  I hope to provide a bit of learned knowledge of Art Glass, Paperweights, and anything old, strange, or unidentifiable.  I hope I can count on the same from most of you.  I would be glad to share some of my treasures that I still have not identified.  Maybe someone here may know what I have, but I have found things other Collecting Sites have not a clue about!  But, isn’t that the FUN of collecting THINGS?    I have a degenerative medical condition that has left me unable to drive, much less ride along with anyone, so I don’t go searching locally anymore.  But, I do try to keep up on the WWW when I can.  I have been finding this newer App, Letgo, very intriguing, although it is more like a Megalithic Garage Sale.    I am glad I ran into this site and hope to provide a small service for those of you I can help.  I still have a garage full of bubble-packed boxes reaching the ceiling full of “finds” I have to go through, since having to move.  It is going to be a REAL chore to even start.  Thanks, in advance, for any help and Happy Hunting![/QUOTE]
