We have some interesting new exhibitors this time. Two are coming from Texas, several from California and Nevada and of course from Oregon and Washington. Our dealers are friendly, knowledgeable and love to talk about vintage!
You can bring your family treasures and garage sale finds to the Evaluation & Identification booth for a verbal market evaluation. The cost is $7 per object and our experts are ISA appraisers. They love to talk so they'll give you all the information you might want on your item.
We also check coats and packages (at no charge), so feel free to bring in your treasures and we'll take good care of them in the Show Office.
See you at the show!

SPECIAL DISPLAY BY BEA MARTIN
 If you love children's kitchenware from the 20s to the 50s, we have a particularly endearing display this time.

| Bea Martin getting her collection ready. |
Bea Martin has been talked into showing off her 40 year collection of children's kitchenware, which includes everything from little toasters to tea sets. She's filling six showcases of small things so it is a significant and very special collection. We're grateful that she has agreed to do this. She says it's the first time and the last so we'll have to appreciate it while it's there for the weekend. The display is right as you enter the show in Row C, Booths 189, 190, 199 & 200.

Below are a few more things that you'll find in their booth, which is on the wall towards the back. They are in 526, 527 & 528.
Jeanne and Paul are featuring a great array of collectible fire memorabilia. Vintage fire extinguishers, fireman helmets, hose nozzles, sprinkler system heads & related equipment. They also offer a wide selection of sporting collectibles, decoys, fishing tackle and hunting items. Prosthetics & medical equipment, vintage toys, blow torches, steam whistles, oilers, scientific gauges & instruments, scales, books and catalogs.
Plus the usual suspects of fine glass, Art Pottery, small furniture, books, artwork - and a full service for six plus serving pieces of gorgeous Haviland China - just in time for the holidays!

BRING YOUR FAMILY TREASURES (or garage sale finds)
AND FIND
OUT WHAT THEY'RE WORTH
The show hires accredited experts that would normally cost you $125 an hour to tell you what you have and what it's worth. At the show, for $7 per object, you'll get a verbal market evaluation. The word 'value' has many definitions, ranging from insurance (replacement) value to forced liquidation (you need to pay the rent and have to sell that item today). The value that our experts give you is what your item would bring if you sold it in a retail setting such as at a show, over the web or in a shop. Vintage items typically depend on supply and demand. Certain things go in and out of favor.

market right now. it doesn't mean that won't change in the future, but the popularity of an category dictates its value. Popular categories right now include Vintage clothing, estate jewelry, kitchenware from the 40s and 50s, pop culture items such as Star Wars and G.I. Joe, tobacco related items such as cigarette dispensers and ashtrays, decorative items including painted furniture, period lighting, framed vintage prints and early men's wrist watches, to name just a few.
Evaluations are available during all hours of the show. If the line is long, you will be sold a ticket and given an approximate time to return to the booth. The wait, at the most, is about a half hour.
