Whenever I visit a yard sale or any thrift shop, I check on anything antique or old stuff. I seldom buy though but antique somehow appeals to me. I know someone who has a collection of old jar, flat iron, telephone and TV. My MIL has very old electric fan made of solid iron. My grandparents had a TV as huge as a cabinet lol What about you? Do you like antiques? Do you have them?

Oh yeah. I love antiques. Why? Because long time ago the items are well made and long lasting. Nowadays, once buy, and the next thing you know is broken

@Janet357 I have no idea about that. I would not want an evil spirit in my home.

I used to have some antiques, but gave them all away to my kids whoever wanted them, no need to wait until I'm gone and then they'll fight over them.

@Janet357 I'm not sure I'd call them antique but perhaps they are. lol These are antiques. They are butter pats - used for making butter.

I loved an unique ones. But not all of antique things is unique, so i dislike it. I will excited when it is unique, maybe the shape, colour or size. Sometimes it is antique but not unique.. in other words i do not like something antique but it is common.

@Janet357 I did not stop, I continually do it. Antiques and vintage items have many sub categories like coins, furnitures, toys, pottery, medals, books , musical instruments etc.. you would later on pick your line of interest

Hello! Yes I love antiques! I used to date a man who sells antiques for a living. He helped me recognize a few things as antiques / good valued items for resell. I've not tried to do that for myself though, I just enjoy seeing them. When I was a little girl, we had one of those old cabinet televisions. I kind of miss them to be honest.

that cabinet television had a lot of purposes did your ex bf give you antique stuff?

@Janet357 No, he never gave me anything. I've talked to him recently and he has picked things up for me, but I haven't seen him. I am not sure if I ever will again because talking to him again reminded me why I stopped talking to him in the first place. Yes, my grandmother had one of the older cabinet type tvs, but my mom had bought one of the more modern ones. It had a base that let it swivel.

Well Im not into antiques, and in here its not too common that people have yard sale and things. The thing that can be called antiques, maybe is my father's old car, it has the same age as me and still runs well
