stories!  If you have a story you'd like to share, tell us about it and if you
have any photos, we'd love to see them!  Send us an email to
newsletter@tias.com so we can share your story with the rest of our readers.

If you have photos of items you would like to share you can post them there as
well.  You don't need a Facebook account to visit our page. If you do have a

Also, everyday, we post a "This Date In History" story on our Facebook page,
along with an item for sale on http://www.tias.com that relates to the event.
We're also highlighting one item each day that we find particularly interesting 
- something that's very unusual!  Check it out!

Thanks to those of you who have responded in the past! We really enjoy, and
appreciate, the feedback!

It's always fun to see what other people own and treasure! Although we can't
put the pictures in this newsletter, please visit our Facebook page to view the

Please let us know if you'd like us to highlight one of your favorite
collectibles!

Here's an interesting item and a note from one of our readers:
https://www.facebook.com/TIASAntiques/posts/10153720629118656

"Hi!
Love the newsletter - I read it faithfully! Today I purchased a really
interesting item, but nothing in my research has revealed what it really is.

Here's what I've learned:

Hallmarks show it was made in the Netherlands for export. It's sterling silver
Made between 1875 - 1895

Unlike the others I've found, this one is made in THREE parts, rather than TWO.

A British website has a similar one for sale for over $2000, but it's only in
two parts.

Others just like it are designed for snuff or pills, but I'd like to know as
those of you who are way knowledgeable than I, what this is.

Hope you can help me!

Wendy M"
