With changes in attitudes toward old things, it takes the right person who still loves these old things ... OR someone who is just getting acquainted with their own history and the "should have kept" items given to them by parents, grandparents, or great aunts and uncles.

Early 20th‑century cocktail shakers can reach nearly $24,000; Ball’s upside‑down jars (c. 1900–1910) up to $1,000; pre‑WWII jadeite fluoresces under black light; Pyrex, introduced 1915, remains a collector favorite.

Just so you know, these are a pair of mercury glass vases. It is clear blown glass with powdered mercury blown inside the double wall of thin glass to give the appearance of pure silver. In its day it was called "Poor Man's Silver". Many activists have tried to get rid of this art and have already been successful in destroying mercurial barometers and furnace thermostats. These particular vases have been painted on the outside with a pattern in yellow.

😺 Returned from Florida for good on July 2nd and still recovering from a broken arm. 🙀 I had expected to be able to clean up the dust and debris in the old barn and make it possible to have people in to shop and maybe to buy. So, with that said, here's an record player I have that needs electrical care but it is for sale. 😄

At one time I had a whole collection of these Francoma mugs and sold them all. The donkeys were marked DEM and the elephants marked GOP. There were some that were produced for particular election years and possibly used for fundraising. There was one made as late as 2025 marked Harris / Walz.
