Antiques and Collectibles

Question by LadyBug: Does anyone know anything about antiques & collectibles?
My mom had given me an antique mason/canning jar a long time ago, and I was wondering if it was worth anything. It says “Good Housekeepers Regular Mason” on it and it also says “St. Louis” on the bottom of it. I know that Ball Mason jars are a dime a dosen, but I’ve never seen a mason jar like this before and I haven’t had any luck doing internet searches.

Answer by eskie loverThe Kovels have a website and publish books on antiques and collectibles. They would probably be your best bet to find out more about your mason jar.

Question by weakestlink11: What is the typical or minimum dealer markup on antiques and collectibles?
Also, what happened to all the flea markets? Thirty years ago, my parents spent all weekend going to antique and collectible shows and flea markets. Now these venues are just empty fields or buildings housing other businesses now.

Answer by Duffer McDivottI’m not a dealer, but if I had to guess, I’d say they have to make at least double on an investment. If they see an item at a tag or estate sale for and they figure they can only get for it, they aren’t going to buy it – it would have to be or less for them to be interested, and they will always haggle to get it for the lowest possible price.
