<p>One thing that you will know if you are interested in antiquing is that there are antique shops located all over the world.

When it comes to buying things that will go up in value, antiquing is generally a good way to go.

<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/HOZV3bdAwpCDZmKZit3-N1BDu9I/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/HOZV3bdAwpCDZmKZit3-N1BDu9I/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><img src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/antiquing/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/antiquephotography.jpg" alt="antiquephotography" title="antiquephotography" width="240" height="179" class="left" /><strong>It may be difficult for you to understand why anyone would want to give away or to sell their family photographs, but just as there are people that are willing to sell their family photography, there are also people out there who are interested in buying up these old antique photographs even though they are of complete strangers.</strong> There are people that are collecting antique photography, and they are actually just as diverse as the images that they are collecting. This is an excellent example of the old adage &#8220;One man&#8217;s junk is another&#8217;s treasure&#8221;. This is an adage that surfaces often in the field of collecting and antiquing, and collecting antique photography is certainly no exception to the rule.</p>
<p><strong>It is important for you to keep in mind that antique photography can be sold both as art and as antiques.</strong> Rare pictures are typically considered to be art rather than as antiques, where as more common images are going to fit into the antiques category rather than as art. Knowing which is going to be which is unfortunately going to require that you do some research.</p>
<p><strong>Many collectors of antique photography are drawn to a specific subject matter, such as antique photography featuring children, antique photography featuring landscapes, antique photography featuring special events and so on and so forth. </strong>Others choose to collect antique photography because it allows them to build a connection with places, people and events from the past. Some people look at antique photography with an artist&#8217;s eye, marveling at the quality and the effects of the images that were composed in the past using bulky and rudimentary equipment.</p>
<p><strong>Just with any field of collecting, some people who get into antique photography do so because they have an eye on the concept of investing.</strong> They are hoping, after all, to cash in on this field of collecting which has gained popularity in the past 30 years or so. It is extremely important for you to understand different types of antique photography and what equipment was used to take those photographs in order to get the most out of a collection of antique photography. </p>
<p><strong>For example, Daguerreotypes involve producing an image on a copper plate coated with silver.</strong> They are the earliest of all photographic images and were first produced in 1839. The Ambrotype is a negative image that was produced using a glass plate and it was introduced in 1854, but it was passé by 1865. In 1856 there were Tintypes, but they had waned in popularity by the time that 1867 rolled around. They were still seen in a number of different forms until as late as the year 1930 however. Often the subject of these images gives way to their true age.</p>

<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sRGT2PEBR-A1KDdTiRcEoZVUndU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sRGT2PEBR-A1KDdTiRcEoZVUndU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><img src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/antiquing/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/lion.jpg" alt="lion" title="lion" width="240" height="159" class="left" /><strong>Antiquities and antiques are separate entities all together. Antiquities are ancient objects that are most commonly at least 800 years of age or older.</strong> There are a number of truly nice antiquities on eBay if you know where to look. For every authentic piece that you can find when it comes to antiquities on eBay, however, there are easily around one hundred auctions that are not real. It is important for you to understand the difference between finding a real treasure, and finding something suitable for the dumpster when it comes to buying antiquities on eBay. The following brief guide should prove useful.</p>
<p><strong>First and foremost, when bidding on antiquities on eBay, you should never bid on an ancient object unless you are already familiar with said type of object. </strong>It is vitally important that you avoid any impulse bidding. You may not have come to the eBay website interested in buying a piece of ancient art until you happened across the item on eBay, becoming aware of its attainability. Do not bid unless you know what you are doing. Remember, if you are not aware of what something is supposed to look like when it comes to antiquities on eBay, then you are going to be susceptible to becoming a victim of con artists.</p>
<p><strong>When it comes to buying antiquities on eBay, one of the things that you should keep in mind is that you should be spending as much money as you are spending on antiquities as on books on the subject of antiquities in order to make sure that you buy the right things and are never taken for a ride.</strong> Another thing that you should do is look for antiquities and ancient artifacts websites, communities, groups, clubs and so on. These groups often have prestigious experts and collectors in their ranks, and these are individuals that can teach you a lot about history and antiquities, including all about buying antiquities on eBay. </p>
<p><strong>While you are learning about the area that interests you the most you can certainly buy something, but make sure that you are purchasing from a reputable and recommended dealer.</strong> There are plenty of <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/dealers/">recommended and reputable dealers for antiquities on eBay</a>, you simply have to make sure that you are making the right decision so that you can buy the right items rather than spending a lot of money on something that isn&#8217;t worthwhile. You may be surprised at how reasonable the prices antiquities on eBay can be when you work with a reputable dealer. Make sure that you do some research, however, before you end up buying any antiquities on eBay, because one of the most important parts of collecting is simply to make sure that you end up with an authentic collection.</p>

<p>Ebay can be a great marketing tool, but an ebay collectibles business will fail if you don&#8217;t constantly find more items.</p>
<p>The best advice is to get sellers to call you with items they have that you might be able to sell.</p>
<p>If you are running around to flea markets, garage sales and estate sales trying to find items that will work well for sale as ebay collectibles, you&#8217;re leaving yourself very little time to market products. You&#8217;re also likely wasting lots of time with items that aren&#8217;t relevant to your business so you end up wasting your time.</p>
<p>Additionally, when sellers call you, you have the advantage. If you&#8217;re at a garage sale, you&#8217;re competing with all the other buyers and collectors for the same items. You&#8217;re in a race with lots of others for the same prize.</p>
<p>If the sellers call you, however, you&#8217;ve made them think that they may be able to raise some cash by selling their unwanted items to you.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t want to rely on simple luck if you are trying to create an income with ebay collectibles. Trying garage sales is simply relying on luck &#8211; if you&#8217;re lucky, you&#8217;ll get there before other dealers, and you might get a good buy.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you have a system you can get a consistent stream of new items to post on your ebay pages and create steady income and interest.</p>
<p>Instead of focusing on visiting the flea market, focus your time and energy on getting your phone to ring with people wanting you to buy their collectibles.</p>
<p>First, invest some time into reading up and practicing marketing, salesmanship, and closing the deal. A little time invested in understanding the nature of humans and understanding how sales works can pay off big.</p>
<p>Even though you are technically the buyer, you need to sell the person on the idea that you are a better buyer than anyone else, and that they should accept your offer.</p>
<p>Make up business cards and hand them out to anyone you meet or bump into.  Hand them out to the people near you in the line at the post office or grocery store, and find places where you can post fliers.</p>
<p>Let your friends and neighbors know what you want, and they&#8217;ll become some of your best advertisers. Give them cards to hand out.</p>
<p>Put some of your antiques or ebay collectibles on display at the local library or town center and make sure to put your name and phone number in the case.</p>
<p>Run small ads in the local paper saying that you pay cash for collectibles or antiques, and you can buy an advertising sign in the outfield of a local baseball park, basketball gym or soccer field.</p>
<p>Run ads in company newsletters that say you buy ebay collectibles or antiques, or put up a sign in the local pawn shop.</p>
<p>Soon you&#8217;ll have people calling you!</p>

<p><img src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/collector/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Collectible-Bottles.jpg" alt="" title="Collectible Bottles" width="240" height="180" class="left" />One of the most unique forms of collectibles are bottles and you’d be surprised at just how many you can find. Ranging from antiques that were produced in the 1900’s, to ones that are just rolling off the assembly line right now, collectibles bottles are a hot item and a lot of fun to collect. Whether you’re digging for them in your back yard, or buying them online, chances are you may be able to unearth an incredible deal. Let’s take a look at which kinds of collectible bottles are the most valuable.</p>
<h3>1. Perfume Bottles</h3>
<p>These are considered to be the best kind of collectible bottles, due to the fact that they are usually designed well, will hold up to age, and come in so many different shapes and sizes. From just old bottles that weathered the years well, to special editions from perfume companies, thousands of people collect perfume bottles. If you can find a rare one that still has the perfume inside, you’ve got a great deal.</p>
<h3>2. Milk Bottles</h3>
<p>The next most popular form of collectible bottles are milk bottles. Many of these will still have the original dairy label or embossing on the bottle itself. These are a lot of fun to collect, especially if you try to see just how many different dairies you can round up for your collection. These are pretty common collectibles, and although they may not have a lot of intrinsic value, they do make for great conversation pieces and look nice when displayed.</p>
<h3>3. Sanctuary Lights</h3>
<p>These collectible bottles are a little more rare, but with some searching you can find them. These are bigger than votive lights and are usually made to hold candles that are about eight inches high. They are classed under collectible bottles by many, but you’ll also find those that prefer to have them in a different category. Root beer sanctuary lights are a very rare form of this collectible that has become very popular in recent years.</p>
<h3>4. Colored Bottles</h3>
<p>These are the rarest form of collectible bottle, especially if you are dealing with vintage ones. They will usually have a slight shading of color to them, and they may be a bit faded, depending on how old they are, and where they were stored. These are very fun to collect, simply because they are so scarce and whenever you stumble across one it’s always cause for celebration.</p>
<p>When it comes to collectible bottles, it’s a good idea to focus on the ones that were made before the 1900’s, especially if you are looking for some that will be quite valuable. However, there are many forms of collectible bottles and each one may have a different overall value. Try to see just how many different collectible bottles you can come across and start building your selection today.</p>
<p>A great place to find new pieces for your collection is at a flea market, a second hand store, or even online at auctions.</p>

<p>Collecting antique dishes can be a fun and rewarding hobby, but it’s probably not going to be an easy one! Because of the wide variety of dishes available from so many sources, you’ll probably have to brush up on your knowledge of dishes and dinnerware. You may have to do a little research into the collectibles in general, as well as specifically investigating an individual dish. It’s great fun for those who like to dig for information and uncover mysteries, and can be exciting when you get surprises, like realizing you’ve just purchased an ordinary-looking dish that’s a valuable collector’s item.</p>
<p>If you’re ready to start collecting antique dishes, you should first realize that just because a dish is 60 or 70 years old, it’s not necessarily any more valuable than it was when it was new. Much depends on how many of that exact dish was produced and how in demand it is now. Many people mistakenly think that old China is particularly valuable simply because it’s old, and that’s pretty far from the truth.</p>
<p>If it’s extremely old, China is almost certainly worth a little more than it was new (and might be worth much more). Some antique dishes with patterns that were discontinued quite soon after their release are worth a little more because they’re more rare. But antique China dishes are most valuable to those who have entire sets and want a piece to replace one that’s broken or lost. If you’re interested in antique China, though, it would pay to do some research into the kind of dishes you want.</p>
<p>The older the antique dishes are, regardless of what they’re made from, the more valuable they typically are, if they’re valuable at all. Antique porcelain dishes can be valuable, all depending on how popular they were when they were new. Antique handpainted dishes are inherently more desired and valuable than mass produced dishes, because even if the same pattern was used on many, the handpainting renders each one unique. And uniqueness is an important consideration when determining the value of a dish, or any item.</p>
<p>A problem with antique dishes is that often not even the seller will know how old a dish may be. This is where the detective work becomes necessary. You’ll need to find any marks on the bottom of the dish indicating the artist, the company, the serial number, the pattern name or anything that has the potential to help identify the dish. You can search online on all of these things, or ask a local antique dealer or appraiser if they have knowledge of it. For China specifically, don’t forget the many websites that specialize in replacements of pieces from discontinued patterns; they can be a wealth of information.</p>
<p>Finding the origin of antique dishes can be a challenge. If you can’t see the dish in person, ask about chips and cracks, and have the seller give you all of the information from the bottom so you can do your research!</p>

<p>Some of us remember going into the local Mom &#038; Pop shop and having our penny candy rang up on a tall brass cash register.  Some of us have seen such registers in dime stores or in antique stores.  There are many things to be appreciated about a vintage cash register, not the least of which is the beautiful design.  There’s no comparing an old cash register to the computerized scanning registers today.  One may be more modern and efficient, but vintage cash registers were beautiful in their own right. </p>
<p>Before there were cash registers, people held their shop money in a variety of ways—each way individual to the store.  Maybe they put it in an envelope or a pouch in a drawer, or even in an old cigar box as was common at the time.  The cash register seemed to most to be a newfangled and unnecessary device, not worth spending any of that hard-earned money on.  This is at least part of the reason why the registers were made with such beautiful cabinets—to entice people to buy them. </p>
<p>Shop owners had to have something that would look handsome in their stores, and be impressive to the customers, so the cash register was designed to be beautiful and give the look of success.  The registers became status symbols for the store owner.  And more than that, they represented American ingenuity at its finest, when assembly line production was in its infancy. </p>
<p>Cash register collecting isn’t nearly as widespread as collecting china, stamps or coins, but those who do it have a certain passion for their subject. If you want to get started collecting vintage cash registers, you’ll want to look at registers manufactured before 1917 or 1918.  The beginning of World War I also started a metal shortage in America that limited the use of brass in cash register design, among other things.  So registers produced during this time were plain and boxy, with no real ornamentation.  That caught on, and the look from then on was merely functional rather than beautiful. </p>
<p>Early registers like the Ritty are prized by collectors because they were the first and gave way to great strides in the technology that changed cash register design almost immediately. Many collectors enjoy purchasing very old registers and restoring them to functionality.  If you can find a beautiful brass register, polish it and restore it, you’ll have a true conversation piece that will look good anywhere in your home. Unlike many antiques and collectibles, a cash register is typically worth more when it’s restored than when it’s in its original condition, unless its original condition is excellent.  Restoration should bring the register as close to its original condition as possible. </p>
<p>There are societies dedicated to cash register collection where you can research manufacturers and find which are more collectible, and shops and organizations that can help you purchase original parts to restore these registers. Antique shops and online auctions are great places to find beautiful registers for your unique collection.  </p>

<p><a href="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/kc410877/Guru/1386759514_e95dd1d999.jpg"><img class="left" title="Antique Bird Cages" src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/kc410877/Guru/1386759514_e95dd1d999.jpg" alt="Antique Bird Cages" width="220" height="220" /></a></p>
<p>Years ago, before the introduction of plastics and resins, even animals’ indoor homes like antique bird cages were considered beautiful pieces of furniture.   Of course, some were plain and utilitarian, but many more were actually created in the popular furniture styles of the times. Bird cages were designed to fit into the home’s aesthetic and enhance a room rather than stick out because they were different, or worse, be an eyesore. </p>
<p>Antique bird cages can be quite valuable, depending on the material, the style and the age. An important thing to remember about these cages is that years ago, materials were used that we know aren’t exactly healthy for pets today.  Some cages may contain lead-based materials or paint that isn’t healthy for anyone, let alone the occupant of the cage.  If you’re looking for a cage that’s not just for decoration, but will be home for your feathered friend, choose a modern cage.  You can find bird cages today in many different styles and designs.  Just look beyond your local pet shop or pet superstore to the more niche stores and you can find bird cages just as ornate as those from 100 years ago. </p>
<p>If you’re looking at antique bird cages as purely decorative and collectible items, then you can worry much less about the materials and concentrate on the design, instead.  You can pay hundreds of dollars for some cages, so it pays to know what you’re looking for and how much you’re willing to spend before you start. </p>
<p>You can be eclectic and collect several different antique bird cages, representing many different styles and cultures, or you can focus on a particular country of origin, or furniture style. You might want to buy only those bird cages that look Georgian or Victorian, with ornate designs and scrolls popular in the furniture of the time. Or you might want only very exotic Tunisian-style bird cages with their recognizable shape and curvy wire design.  Wooden bird cages that look like large mansions, or small ones with ornate wire and beadwork—it’s your choice, and you have lots of variety to choose from, especially if you search through online auctions. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, many auctions will say little other than “old bird cage” or “wooden bird cage, looks antique.” If antique bird cages don’t bear a manufacturer’s name, artist’s name or date, it can be difficult to tell how old they are, what materials were used, and even where they came from.  Some styles are pretty obvious, as with most Asian bird cages, but other times it can be very difficult to tell a reproduction bird cage from an actual antique.  And sometimes the country of origin is just a best guess depending on the style and materials. </p>
<p>Antique bird cages can be stunning pieces of art as well as interesting conversation pieces.  In the end, you’ll want to purchase them for their beauty and how much they interest you, rather than their age or whether they’re made of wood or bronze. </p>

<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OJsMKGmgZB279Sf46Vzy9wQMBjo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OJsMKGmgZB279Sf46Vzy9wQMBjo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/>
<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OJsMKGmgZB279Sf46Vzy9wQMBjo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OJsMKGmgZB279Sf46Vzy9wQMBjo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><img class="left" title="antiquing" src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/antiquing/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/antiquing.jpg" alt="antiquing" width="240" height="180" />Some people falsely believe that the passion for accumulating a variety of antique treasures in an antique collection is an addiction, such as being a pack rat, but this is not actually true. The truth about going antiquing is that while it may be infectious, it is certainly not a disease and there is nothing wrong with having a passion for going out and looking for your favorite objects, especially since antiquing is a sure fire way for you to improve your mood. The feeling that stirs up our interest in going out looking for antiques is definitely a universal one among collectors. People who go out looking for collectibles are enjoying themselves, having a ball and feeling good all around.</p>
<p>A lot of people who regularly visit flea markets and other popular sources for collectibles meet a lot of other people who are just like them. These people enjoy the art of creating an antique collection  so much that they actually become relaxed by it. Browsing through these second hand stores, flea markets and other places for antiquing collectibles is popular because it is an inexpensive habit and allows us to collect a wide variety of different things without spending an arm and a leg in order to do so.</p>
<p>Improving upon our mood while we are out hunting for treasures is not only a psychological thing because there is also a physiological explanation attached to it as well. Shopping has been considered to be therapy for many people, and buying antiques or starting an antique collection can prove to be a really beneficial form of therapy because just like exercise, shopping can boost the feel good chemicals that are associated with mood, such as the runners high, or how people feel who take Zoloft or Prozac. For some people, shopping for antiques is capable of providing a thrill that is capable of offsetting a bad mood. Finding things that are exciting can build tension, adding significantly to the thrill and making antique hunting even more enjoyable and therapeutic accordingly.</p>
<p>Hobbies can become boring when finding collectibles for an antique collection becomes too simple. This is one of the most prevalent reasons for why seasoned antique collectors choose to spice up their collections by consistently upgrading the collections that they have, looking for rare antiques and other pieces and constantly hunting for more. People have found that becoming more selective about what they purchase allows them to add a suitable level of challenge to the process. Collecting antiques such as <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/dealers/Antiques/Furniture">antique furniture</a> and <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/dealers/Antiques/Decorative-Arts">antique home décor</a> is an endeavor that should be fun, exciting and enjoyable.</p>
<p>Most collectors actually rarely ever become frustrated when it comes to finding things for their antique collection, because they have fun hunting for treasure, and enjoy the chase involved in finding the antiques that they seek. As long as you are being smart about your antiquing, there is nothing wrong with being a little bit of a pack rat, if it means bringing yourself pleasure and lifting your mood.</p>

<p>While many people collect cat figurines, dolls, books, sports memorabilia and almost anything you can think of, fewer people collect things like surveying equipment, medical instruments, mining tools and things of that nature. But those who do collect them are enthusiastic about their hobby, and usually quite well-versed on the history of the things they collect.  </p>
<p>A piece of antique surveying equipment isn&#8217;t just something old and valuable, it&#8217;s part of our scientific history.  Finding this equipment intact is a real thrill for most collectors, because it represents the ingenuity, creativity and inventiveness of us as a people.  Our ability to calculate, think logically and create sets us apart from other living creatures on this planet, and antique scientific equipment of all kinds are representations of our development into the society we are today, and the technological advances yet to come. </p>
<p>An early piece of surveying equipment, one of the earliest in fact, was first mentioned in a writing by Thomas Digges in 1571.  The device, called a theodolite, looked like a small tripod-mounted telescope.  The surveyor would look through the scope and calculate distance between two points with the help of mirrors and etched glass.  This was the hallmark device of surveyors for over 200 years. </p>
<p>Surveying, though, dates back to 1400 BC, when the ancient Egyptians began dividing plots of land to better tax people. It was given new purpose in 120 BC when the Greeks, using their newly developed science of geometry, surveyed for the purpose of dividing land much more precisely than it had been done before. The Greeks were the first to come up with a general set of procedures for surveying land. They also invented the first real piece of surveying equipment, the diopter, which served the same purpose as the theodolite. </p>
<p>With the industrial revolution of the 1800s came the need to find exact boundaries of land plots.  Surveying equipment became more intricate and accurate, and the use of geodetic and plane surveying began. Geodetic surveying was the most accurate surveying ever done, as it followed the shape of the land precisely over long distances.  While plane surveying, the most common method of surveying used still today, assumed that the distance between two points was a flat plane. </p>
<p>In the 70s, the total station replaced the long-standing theodolite as the surveying equipment of choice. Today&#8217;s total stations use lasers to calculate distance, and trigonometry is used instead of geometry to make calculations.  Digital levels have replaced bubble levels, and all pieces of vintage surveying equipment have been replaced with new and improved digital, electric and computerized versions. Some surveyors even use GPS systems, though not exclusively. </p>
<p>When shopping for vintage surveying equipment online, there are some stores that do nothing but sell, buy, trade, repair and restore such equipment.  These are good resources for history and background, and even for finding that rare piece you&#8217;re after.  Online auctions are great sources, too, but be sure to search for “vintage” or “antique” surveying equipment to avoid modern equipment listings.</p>
