Advice for the Avid Collector

Antiques

Clocks - The Grandfather clock got it's name from the popular song Grandfather Clock by Henry Work.  Antique Grandfather clocks are highly sought after and can sell for quite a few thousand pounds. 

Telephones - In the UK, most of the bakelite phones were produced by the General Post Office (GPO) and Ericsson telephones Ltd jointly.  With all the fancy phones you get know a lot of people may think these old bakelite phones should be chucked in the bin.

Cameras - The technology of the camera has come a long way since they were first invented.  The word "photography" gets it's name from the Greek "photos" which means "light" and "graphein" which means "to draw". 

Dolls - Collecting antique German dolls is a very popular pastime and many of the best quality dolls come from Germany.
