This Could Be Fake - Thanks to USGOLD.com I have always said that if something becomes expensive there will be someone to make a fake or reproduction of it. Look at the reproductions of Galle and Daum Nancy glass or Roseville pottery. I have been offered fake Rolex watches so many times I can't count them, but this is something new. The coins in your pocket you would think could never be faked, right? No, wrong. Today there are fake gold coins coming out of China that are even fooling some professionals. It is understandable with the price of gold over one thousand dollars ... Read Full Story

How Many Times Around My Livingroom Did I Push This Train? Thanks to Kids.lovetoknow.com I was watching my son, Joshua, playing and realized that he has no interest in toys as I would define them. Ipods, computers and game boys seem to be his forms of entertainment. There seems to be a movement away from conventional toys. The technology age is upon us and I'm not sure I am ready for that. However, with fewer toys coming to the market that have any collector value, the ones of past years will do nothing but go up in value. We all know that the Japanese ... Read Full Story

David Smallhouse's Octopus This weekend will be a great test for the Pottery and Art Glass markets because Cincinnati Art Galleries has an outstanding auction Saturday and Sunday. I believe the art glass and pottery will shine in this auction, even if the selection of Rookwood pottery might be a little sub par for their auctions. This sale should give us a clue as to what is happening in the world of Weller Pottery because there is one of the better collections of Weller that I have ever seen selling this weekend. Many of the pieces of Weller are signed by their better artists ... Read Full Story

New and Improved This has been a terrific day and it started with Ondre, Bob and I meeting to discuss the new website. I believe that you as a member will be really satisfied with the results. With Ondre working on the content, and Bob taking care of all the technical problems, the “Daryle Lambert's Antique and Collectible Club” will be brought to a new level. However, there is one issue that I need to discuss with the members and it is a matter of keeping the consignments on the gallery pages. The three of us tossed this problem around for a good part ...

Why not you ? - Thanks to Galsswareunlimited.com I continue to encourage the reader of my blogs and tell them if they stay the course, their time will come. I can tell each of you personally that I am not aware of a single person who did their research and spent an appropriate amount of time searching for treasure and their efforts weren't rewarded. While others are struggling, friends of mine that have been in the antique business for years ask me, "What recession?" Yes, the prices have been reduced on what they sell maybe, but all they do is adjust their buying price. ... Read Full Story

Our New Logo - Do You Like It? This may have been the longest year of my life because the new home site for the “Daryle Lambert's Antiques and Collectibles Club” just didn't seem likely to become a reality. But that is all fixing to change and today I saw what our future site will look like. Bob Zehnder and his wife Karla have been working behind the scenes to give me all the services that I wanted our members to receive from the new site. I am confident that within two weeks the site will be functional but even then we will have ... Read Full Story

Gretchen and My grand daughter Erin I have been searching for the answer for my success in the Antique and Fine Art business and I believe this weekend I found it. Some would say the reason for my success was acquired knowledge, dedication or love of what I do. But I may have found an even deeper answer and that is I have always surrounded myself with people that loved what I was doing as much as me. Have you noticed how often I mention Warner or Cecil in my blogs? These are only two of the favorite people that I have surrounded myself ... Read Full Story
