Thanks! I have about 20-30 in the collection now. Just trying to pick them up here and there where I can. I spent the night categorizing them according the the JFO catalog. That way I quit buying duplicates too!
Just checked back to see what else was posted.
Thats how I started, with the openers I found when we cleaned out Mom and Dad's house, found about 10 of them. Then I started to do some research for age/value etc, and found others colected them and I was hooked. I like them because they're usualy cheep, and I love going to flea/antiuqe markets.
Have fun,
Lumpy
