Always on the lookout for antiques and learning more about history through objects because every piece has a past.
3D scans of Titanic made in 2022 by Magellan LTD are revealing more about the tragedy on 15 April 1912.

The boilers confirm witness accounts that lights stayed on as she slipped underwater.

A simulation shows how a narrow line of gashes in the hull caused the disaster.

The American Toby Jug museum in Evanston, IL will be open one more time before it is sold and shipped to Florida.

April 1st from 12-5pm is the last chance to see the collection.

My favorite are the figures from #history. They’ll make you a good offer if you see one you like!

I love antique shops that used to be something else. Found a former school in Burlington, Wisconsin that is now an antique mall with several booths.

The Rustic Barrel is a wonderful shop and well worth a visit. Some handmade goods, some home goods, some antiques.

Tin laudanum medical case from the RMS Cedric. Cedric was one of the Big Four Class of ships from the White Star Line. The Cedric pre-dated White Star's famous ship, RMS Titanic, and was the largest ship in the world at the time of her maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York in 1903.

Labeled as an antique Victorian birdcage, made from wood and wire with a removable bottom tray. I see similar styles on eBay but can't find much information about them. Any #birdcage enthusiasts out there to comment?

Love the creativity and detail of a Toby mug.

A gold label in the top section identifies this as a Globe-Wernicke lawyer bookcase.

Founded in 1893 in Cincinnati, Ohio, they patented the modular bookcase style that could come apart to transport any particular shelf along on the judicial circuits as barristers traveled.

Someday I will buy one of these beautiful coffee grinders.

Enterprise Mfg Co, based in Philadelphia, made these cast iron grinders in the late 1800's/early 1900's. Restored, I've seen them go for over a thousand dollars.

Who knew there used to be so many brands of peanut butter!

Saw a lot of what I assume are decorative wooden capitals while antiquing last year. The trend appears to be turning them into candle holders. They were very heavy, so must have been pretty old wood.

In 1906, seven potteries across IL, MO and IA combined to form Western Stoneware. From what I can gather, the company is still in business but focused on digital art, the pottery side closing down in the early 2000's aside from smaller commissions they will take on. #antiques

Apothecary chest at Looses Emporium in Norwich, England.

Why is it the further from home I go, the cooler (and bigger) my antique finds become?! I didn't even entertain what it would cost to ship this back to the US, but if anyone has suggestions for how to do that, I'm all ears!

I've never seen anything like this. 2x/yr a 12 mile stretch of Texas Hwy 237 transforms into an antiquer's dream! #antiques #roundtop

The Warehouse Antiques and Collectables in King's Lynn boasts being the largest antique mall in East Anglia, England and I could believe it!

I spent a couple hours here in 2024 and they had a large variety of things!
