I have been collecting antiques for many years,but it really got going about six years ago[for some unknown reason].I collect antique radios,oil lamps ,Aladdin ;lampI have been collecting antiques for many years,but it really got going about six years ago[for some unknown reason].I collect antique radios,oil lamps ,Aladdin ;lamps torchiere lamps and any thing that is from the 20s and 30s. The hardest part of my collecting is learning how radios work so I can repair them. If I had to do it I would not do it but I can go at my own pace . Being a member of the Antique Radio Forum had really helped me and I suggest anyone interested in radios have a look at that forum.. I find it the best on the web.You might want to have a look at one of my posts with photos of my basement and you will see some of my collection .ENJOY (Read more)
