Hi Dennis,

Names Ralph. I am from way up north in Pa..

 

 I don't think I have ever seen a crock from Fl. up this way.

 

 Counter, any length up to about 16 feet. Prefer oak, or walnut, or cherry. Style, from 1900 back. Nice quarter sawn oak Victorian, would be nice. Lol.They are hard to find up here.

Folk art I like. Smaller things though. Old painted label soda pop bottles, Wood? Depends, cause I'm a Wood-a-haul-ic... Tons of wood around here. Any Florida crocks or old Florida items?
Photographs I also like. Easy to mail too.

As for your counter, how long, what style?  wainscote period? victorian? or?

I have a couple of old oak candy store counter top display cases in Need, but have most of what they need. CHEAP.

btw, where r u?
I'm in Fla.

Name is Dennis

Yours?

Wood, furniture, pre 1920, folk art, good old bottles, antique weapons. Jugs crocks. Looking for an old store counter. Is that enough to start with? LOL

A ton of old stuff. Been a collector/dealer for the past 45 years or so. What do you like?

you find something, I'm always game for a trade

You never know. Last year I traded a guy for some Jersey Tomatoes, I gave him some Florida Citrus when it was in season.

Rather trade old stuff for old stuff..... WADDAYA GOT???

Never tried this, so I joined the group. Now all I have to do is find something I can part with.

I would love to barter for oil lamp burners and other kerosene type lamp parts. I like iron brackets, 1870s fonts, shade and almost anything to do with oil lamps.
