Lalique – Daryle Lambert's Antique and Collectibles Blog – Blind Luck.

Written by darylelam on
Lalique - Thanks to www.mickcollinsauctions.com The old saying that you should take care of yourself because no one else will is one that I know from reading the Bible is not true. However I do think that we have a responsibility to take care of ourselves where possible. If you remember, I have often suggested that our members set something back for themselves after they have made the proper amount of profit on their transactions. I try to do what I suggest you do and one way that I have done this is by keeping many of the Lalique pieces that I purchased, after ... Read Full Story

Daryle Lambert: Happy Thanksgiving

Written by darylelam on
The 31 Club wishes everyone a special Thanksgiving. This is the time that I take to reflect on all the blessings that I have received through the year. Many of those blessings have come from all the new and wonderful people that I have had the pleasure to meet through the 31 Club, both in person and on the Internet. God has blessed me more than I could ever deserve; but should we expect less of a loving God? Vickie has the Thanksgiving meal in the oven and I am getting ready for more football than I need to watch and Joshua is chasing ... Read Full Story

Daryle Lambert: Ti's the Season to Buy

Written by darylelam on
Thanks to Flicker Everyone knows that the best time to buy is after Christmas when everything is on clearance. But how does this give us a special opportunity to make money? The same principle that applies to stores selling their inventory after a season ends can be seen in how people sell items at the end of seasons like Christmas and Easter. You will find that rather than store trees, ornaments and other decorations after Christmas, people place them in house or garage sales and often without regard to their collectibility. So if this is true then what should we do to take advantage ... Read Full Story

Daryle Lambert: Roseville Pottery may be ready for a return.

Written by darylelam on
It has always been of interest to me to see a Collectible or Antiques value collapse. There is always a reason but often these reasons vary from one item to another. The Beanie Babies fell in value because there simply weren't enough collectors for the numbers being manufactured. I have told the story before of a friend of mine whose sister had received several of each new production of the Babies The sister called me to sell her Princess Di beanies. At the time of the call they were bringing over $500 on Ebay. She shipped them to me and after listing them I ... Read Full Story

Daryle Lambert: What's in a Name?

Written by darylelam on
Thanks to www.bissellbedardgalleries.com I am learning right along with my readers every day and this should prove it. Did you know that the name on an item can show the viewer that it is quality? Just a few names that are quickly recognizable: Tiffany, Lalique, Steuben, Rookwood, Grueby, and Newcomb will quicken your attention. How about Puiforcat? Does that name get your attention? I know it register with me until I received an email asking if I would be interested in buying a set of candelabras by Puiforcat. With a little research, it soon became apparent to me that this is a name that ... Read Full Story

Daryle Lambert: Great European Pottery

Written by darylelam on
Thanks to www.ceramic1900.com I have written many blogs on great American art pottery but the world is also wide open for great European pottery. There have been two pottery companies that have drawn my attention through the years and I feel that there is a very large collector base for their wares. These two companies are Boch Frese and Longwy and they both can make you money. The Boch Freres factories were founded in 1841 in La Louviere in eastern Belgium. They are still in business but the pieces that I would encourage you to search for are from the early 20th century. I ... Read Full Story

Daryle Lambert: Home at Last.

Written by darylelam on
I now you wouldn't believe it but after returning home my computer wouldn't work and I spent three hours with Att's techs before they were able to get my service back up. That old Grinch is still at work but just like I have told you about the Antique business I refuse to let him win just like I'm sure that he isn't going to stop your success. My wife Vickie spent the last day horse back riding and Cecil the friend I write so much about and I went shopping in Evansville Indiana. At one mall we found a miniature Owensboro Kentucky jug ...

Decorating with Antiques: Framing a Collection
One of my collecting friends in Florida had a great idea for Framing a Collection of wall pockets. I thought her project turned out beautifully, and it's an idea that can be used with lots of different types of antiques and collectibles. I think I'm going to try it myself with some vintage handbags I've collected over the years!
