New movement in antique industry
At that time ... Antique show manager, Dordiphon Tinel (Virginia State) of the Hunt County Antique Fair in Autumn is rebellious against the influx of reproduction to the antique show. All her shows will now be only antiques ..... And then issue a receipt (name and address, by phone), describe the item, write the date, inform the buyer the repair . Many of us in the carousel business, all of the reputable dealers will do it for you willingly. We hope that all dealers will follow her led.
Our long conversation was very useful. Dorty told me that among the people shopping at E-Bay, about 75% of antique purchases are fakes. Now that is not the responsibility of E-Bay, what happened to our society is based on trying and deceiving buyers with the intent of fraudulent fraud. We need to turn around this trend and educate the public.
Do you know in many states (it must be in all states), it is a criminal fraud that sells counterfeit or reproduction as an antique. You need to label such items with such labels. You can contact the State Lawyers Office or State Senator office to find out. This is for antiques.
Do you know what you classify? Antique ... Items must be wood products over 100 years of age as furniture over 50 years old. Less things are considered collectors.
The hobby protection law was established in 1973, and it is necessary for all new products to have their country of origin and date, but in most cases it does not follow it. It is clear that these thousands of items that are penetrating events at the best caliber antique show are for deceiving.
Dorty is trying to bundle all the dealers together and is trying to get articles on television and publications. And not only let the FTC recognize this problem, but also just to find out that the depression's glass, Tiffany Glass, has lost what you saved for years to retire Do you feel the year too?
Genuine antique, Dorty mentioned the ultimate recycled item for the Green movement. So go to the green and buy genuine antiques!

We will repeat that there is nothing wrong with these IFs they are being sold to you as the current sculpture or Replaquias or replica. These are decorative sculptures, not the quality of investment, there is no expenditure (history, strain). These were never carousels, but they were produced for the American market.
