  • Attribution vs. Identification
    Attribution is a term often misunderstood and/or misused. The meaning is sometimes confused with, or intended to be a substitute for the word identification. An attribution remains only the subjective declaration or opinion of the researcher(s), even after careful research of a unique unmarked item is conducted and documented, with an aim toward arriving at a credible conclusion.
  • Antiques and Vintage: The Differences
    As of late the terms, 'antique' and 'vintage' have started taking on vague meanings in the marketplace. Unfortunately, these and other terms that have always been essential constituents to the lexicon of collectors are, more and more, being used incorrectly. Often this is not due to the fact that the user intends to deceive or misrepresent their goods, but instead occurs perhaps because writing is not their first love or crafting descriptions is a skill they are still honing.
  • Fakes: An Historical Perspective
    For as long as mankind has used his hands to create useful, intricate objects; as long as the mysteries of the natural world have been pondered, and tools or instruments made with the intent to tame or investigate that world; as long as a creative soul has sought to gift kin with a meaningful experience through art, or the warrior to gift himself with notoriety amongst his peers, there have been collectors with a penchant to own objects connected to other people, places and times.
