[QUOTE="Charliebfc, post: 186693, member: 3230"]Cant talk about thing in the state's and think its hard to Acess things in Britain , But will add the old saying things are only worth what people will pay for them , I went to A antiques and collecters fair yesterday and the set up was something I'm not use to , In the first hall I say there was about 70-100 stalls set out all with back drops and display cases , This was the top end of the Antiques market with high end furniture and pottery plus very expensive jewellery, It was busy and business seemed brisk, but I thought there nothing for me here its to expensive if I liked it or there was very little for me , Then I noticed there was another hall just beyond the cafe ,I went in there and that was more to my liking it was just tables set out and the seller's had there wears on them no backdrop or cabinets like the other hall , And there was about 200 dealers selling from the tacky to the expensive range and that room was also busy with people buying , This is what I bought , its a Lovell Toffee Rex sweets tin shaped has a bucket its nearly 2 ft high still has original lid and Handel , And I think it pre dates 1940s probably around 1920s [ATTACH=full]52538[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
