This is our Bargain Show for July. Ever seen a Gambler's Holdout? I hadn't, and I would never have guessed what is was. Some of this month's bargains are recognizable: vintage firemen's hydrant wrenches, an Asian (Chinese?) chest, a Masonic lodge lectern,...

Prices of Pre-Victorian Furniture

Dealers, collectors, and owners of Victorian furniture have been bemoaning the decline in values for many years now, and until the last few years it seemed to me that pre-Victorian furniture was holding up fairly well. I'm not so sure of that now. In this...
