4. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help

We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your
story to newsletter@tias.com and we'll publish it in an upcoming newsletter. 
Please share your story about what you collect and what got you started
collecting.  We *love* to hear your stories!  If you have a story you'd like
to share, tell us about it and if you have any photos, we'd love to see them! 
Send us an email to newsletter@tias.com so we can share your story with the
rest of our readers.

Remember that you can check out our Facebook page for some interesting
updates.  Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/TIASAntiques If you have
photos of items you would like to share you can post them there as well.  You
don't need a Facebook account to visit our page.  If you do have a facebook
account please "Like" us!

Also, everyday, we post a "This Date In History" story on our Facebook page,
along with an item for sale on http://www.tias.com that relates to the event. 
We're also highlighting one item each day that we find particularly
interesting - something that's very unusual!  Check it out!

Thanks to those of you who have responded in the past! We really enjoy, and
appreciate, the feedback!

We don't have any stories this week, but we have quite a number of submissions
from our readers who are looking for information and/or value of items they've
either found while shopping or have inherited. It's always fun to see what
other people own and treasure!  Although we can't put the pictures in this
newsletter, please visit our Facebook page to view the images and learn about
those items.

Last week Glenda K sent us this:

"I FOUND THIS SMALL ORIENTAL HAND DECORATED CABINET AT AN ESTATE SALE
RECENTLY, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT ITS PURPOSE MIGHT BE?  THE
INSIDE IS LINED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE GLASS.  IT STANDS 12CÇØ H X
12CÇØW X 9 1/2" D."

We're thinking humidor perhaps?  Anyone else care to comment? ht
