YasudaCollector Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 Oh my gosh, what a coincidence! I was just in Snohomish today! 🤯 I'll have to have Alec (my brother) post some pictures of what he found. As for me, I found some really old looking Chinese paperweights. One is the regular round type, but 3 others are birds with a layer of Millefiori in them. The birds look more like seals though, they're very gloppy and misshapen. 🤣 Nice finds by the way! I love the deep blue/teal color of the Blenko lighter. The mibs look awesome too (it looks like there might possibly be some older Akros in there). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antiques have been crushed in Snohomish since Covid. Very sad… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad… Man, so are there just not as many sellers as before? Or did everything get kind of picked over? I still find a lot of various Asian stuff out there (older pottery, lacquered boxes, bamboo baskets, and a few Chinese paperweights). However, these antiques don't seem to be sought after by a ton of really avid collectors like marbles are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 The paperweights I found had been sitting in a display case for so long that the tags had faded completely. (One of the employees had to get out a magnifying glass just to read the prices). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collect enough and have enough time-consuming hobbies that I dare not step on that slippery slope of adding another focus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
