Apparently I'm an appraiser of vintage p**n these days 🤷🏼‍♀️

They don't make em like this anymore! Antique eye washing station by Haws Co.- Berkeley, California. She's porcelain with chrome hardware.

Purchased for $22 and sold for $185.

Vintage Native American Porcelain Doll. It's unstamped therefore I'm under the assumption it's handmade. The detail is pretty nifty. Mid Century modern would be pushing it. If I were to guess, this was made in the last 20 years. It might be the heaviest doll I've ever picked up. I'm also not much of a doll person but I really like this

Vintage Aztec Warrior Bird Painting Canvas Mayan/Aztec Oil and Acrylic. Hand-Painted Original. Unsigned.

You have to really squint, but Wagner Ware #8 cast iron Dutch oven pot. She's a beaut and quite collectable.

The term "antique" is used very loosely and there is room for interpretation. One could argue that it is a matter of perception rather than age. However, when appraising valuables, it is extremely detrimental to understand that a perception could be misconceived for reality. If antiques aren't researched and appraised properly- the validity of the item and potentially the integrity of the owner could be compromised. Bottom line, when dealing with antiques it is not only important to cross your t's and dot your i's- but you must not forget to dot your lower-case j's.
