Antiquing Information to Help You be a Successful Antique Collector
Collecting antiques can a very good source of income and hobby as well. These may be the reasons why many people are now engaged in this activity. If you are one of them who has the passion in art and decorations, don't think twice and get involved in antiquing action.
Antique collectors usually travel in many places and travel almost all around the world just to be able to uncover antique items with high value. Others enjoy visiting antique shops and stores just taking the chance to spot something that is of great value.
When you decide to take this activity as a hobby or for business, it is important that you have enough skill and knowledge regarding antiquing so you can be guided well as you go along your endeavor.
These following antiquing information that can help you become successful in this activity:
Once you involve yourself in collecting antiques, initially you need to know how to determine the value of an antique object that may have existed for hundred of years now.
Some items may be considered antique although it is only on its eighty or ninety years of existence; this case is very seldom. The appraisers consider them as antique maybe because of its rarity.
Another important thing with regards to collecting antiques is to know the items type, brand and historical background of the item. These factors are determined very well in order to identify the real value of the antique. Items with very rich historical background are considered the most valuable among others.
Antique collectors frequently collect items such as artworks, china, furniture and glass items. Other collectors also enjoy gathering books, coins, and postal stamps.
An antique hunter must also know how to recognize when the condition of the antique item is still in good or marketable quality. As you travel around different shops in different places, you must be able to properly establish the correct value of the antique to prevent yourself from purchasing worthless items. There are available equipments and tools to help you get through in identifying the worth of your items.
Most hunters make use of the black light. The black light is use to test the item's authenticity and date antique objects. Since some signs might not be very visible by your naked eyes, the black light will assists you identify the spot that needs repair and restoration. Take note that these signs will affect the value of you're the antique items.
Bringing with you a black light while you hunt or purchase antiques will definitely provide good aid in carefully evaluating the antique. You just have to have the adequate knowledge and experience in order for you to properly use this light.
As you go along exploring or discovering items from thrift stores estate sales and garage sales, it is essential that you are also familiar with the list of the rarest antiques.
If you hunt because you want to invest in business, it is a good idea that you have to be fair in all your clients. You must avoid deceiving your possible buyers from the true condition of your antiques. By being honest, you cannot only gain the trust of your buyers; you will also have a clear conscience.

I found an old book, its signed and dated oct. 1917, is it worth something?
I went to an antique store the other day and found an old book from the 19 hundreds, I bought it for 47 cents and I googled it and found people selling it for upwards of $200, have I found something good? Its called-
The Vision of Sir Launfal and Other Poems, with introduction and notes by Francis R. Lane by Allyn and Bacon
copyright, 1900 by Francis R. Lane
the first page is also signed and dated Verna Noffsinger- Oct. 26-1917
It depends on the edition, the condition, and other factors that are impossible to assess from what you have said. I can tell you that the book isn't "signed" in the sense that means anything to its value. Verna Noffsinger was probably just the original owner of the book. "Signed" to a collector means signed by the author.
"The Vision of Sir Launfal" is a poem written by James Russell Lowell, first published in about 1842, so what you have is not even close to a first edition. The copyright date of 1900 refers only to the introduction, which was written by Francis R. Lane. There have been many many editions of this poem published in the last 160+ years. Some of them are illustrated, and that makes a great difference in the value as well.
