Private Reserve
Just about every antiques
dealer eventually becomes a collector, if for no other reason than in a retail business the
inventory is going to build up. The nice thing about this business is that
it makes good sense to keep inventory as it tends to increase in value
over time. I often tell my customers that, so long as they take good care
of what they buy, it will never be worth less than it is today. How many traditional retailers can
honestly say that? If I didn't believe it myself, I wouldn't have a
personal collection.
Once I started collecting for myself,
I came to realize that when we buy rarities we pay for the privilege of taking care of
them. Being a caretaker for something that
society values and will last longer than I will gives me a higher sense of
purpose, and that's something I think I share with my customers.
Here are several items in my "Private
Reserve." I keep them because I
personally enjoy them, enjoy looking at them or am just proud to own them.
They are investment-grade in terms of value and condition. I feel far more
comfortable owning these things than stocks and
bonds. But as
they say "Everything is For Sale." So I've placed a price on
every item. Feel free to browse. All items include shipping and
handling to any destination in the United States.
