Default RE: Antiques...Anything worth a lot?

i do have a 1938 emmerson brass fan that was worth $300 untill i "cleaned" it and ruined the motor trying to open it up, now its worth $30. cant complain since i picked it up for $5
and now i have a working 1968 westing house turbine fiberglass blade fan worth $250 if fully restored.

in order to make money with antiques, you have to know what your looking for, find the right place to sell it and be one lucky son of a gun.

i collect anything old or out of the ordinary. one piece that may be worth money is a OLD working exercise belt machine that my mother inherited.
