Collecting Under the Radar

In this shrinking economy, some of the things that we already own stashed away in garages and attics may have undreamed of value. This is also true for items found at tag sales and flea markets. This is a guide to finding treasures in everyday throwaway stuff. Some may be very old and small and easy to overlook like old ivory buttons, grandma's old watering can, or father's old fishing lures. Some may be larger like old suitcases, Twenties bedroom furniture or aluminum serving pieces. And some might be well-crafted old things just lying around like Damascus knives or snakeskin wallets. Michael Hogben and Linda Abrams are two expert guides to help you find your hidden treasures.
