People of all ages and walks of life are drawn to its festive colors and simple lines, and it's easily found in flea markets, at auctions and at garage sales all over the country. Here's the lowdown. The problem bewilders not only buyers but dealers, too. As collecting antiques has become popular for not just the wealthy, thieves have realized that they are potentially worth more than T.V.s and VCRs. At the same time collectors enjoy sharing their antiques and displaying them where they can be seen.
Food molds have over the past year become a very popular item to collect.
Not only for their increasing value as a collectable antique, but because they also invoke wonderful childhood memories. Memories of the festive chocolate Santas that might have appeared in Christmas stockings, or the scrumptious coconut lamb cake that would be served at the end of an Easter Day meal. Food molds were also used to shape every day type foods such as puddings, sweetmeats, jellies, and butter. Goldie's Corner Let me introduce myself.
