    Hello everyone,
    I want to thank you in advance for fielding my dumb questions! I've always had a mild interest in antiques and collectibles, but I need to up my game now that my father passed and left my family with quite a collection.
    He collected a wide variety of things, from signs to clocks, and glassware to ephemera.

    Looking forward to learning from you all!
    Dave

    No such thing as a dumb question - although I've been guilty of giving dumb answers :) - WELCOME!

    Greetings, Dave! Very sorry for your loss, but this is the place to get the help you need with those collections!

    And let me second Ray - no such thing as a dumb question. We all started out that way too, although for some of us that was a long, long time ago! ;)

    Hi and WELCOME Dave. So sorry for your loss. It's always hard to lose a parent. You should find a boat-load of the kind of information that you're looking for here!! So, ask away! We also have a lot of fun while exchanging and dissecting information!!!! When posting pictures, 1MB is the size limit, 10 pics per post, and when you upload the files, the very top image lets you click to "post every image Full Image"....DO CLICK ON THAT!!!!! Piece of cake!!!!!!!!!! You also will find, most of the 'experts' here would like close ups, several angles, dimensions, and any other information you can provide about the object in question.....that should get you off to a great start!!!

    Hi Dave and welcome! When my dad passed I also acquired some things he'd collected that I'd never even seen before. I find it very hard to let go of them.
