7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help/Blast from the past
We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your story
to newsletter@tias.com.
Here's a reprint of an interesting story from February 2002:
Just a note to let you know how I started to collect salt cellars. We were
visiting family in South Dakota and they had quite a few antique pieces. These
included picture frames, a desk and some other items of interest to me. We had
a van and two boys and I thought I was going to be able to bring some "stuff"
home. Well little did I know that after a visit to the local fireworks stand,
(fireworks we could not get in the west) Every available square corner of our
van, every nook and cranny was stuffed with guess what??? I was in fear for my
life the entire trip back. If we had been hit with something we would have
exploded into a million pieces. I only had room on my lap to bring home 4 salt
cellars which were the start of 100 piece collection. It's been 25 years since
that trip....Carol
If you have a story about an unusual collection, your best yard sale find or
how you started your collection, drop us a note. We may publish it here. Send
your note to support@tias.com
Can anyone help identify what this is and what it was used for:
"It is heavy metal, 3 1/4 inches tall, the back is scooped out and I can put my
finger through the band on bottom and out the hole, the protrusions in front on
sides are marked with a capital D"
