We're delighted to boast that the Summer 2020/21 issue of Antiques and Collectables for Pleasure & Profit is our biggest ever (at a whopping 116 pages) with absolutely tons of interesting reading for you, as well as literally hundreds of items to buy.
Our cover feature looks at the reasons behind some of the absolutely HUGE prices being paid for Chinese porcelain at auction - sometimes more than 100 times their estimates! We've uncovered some of the creepiest Christmas cards you'll ever see, and there's a feature on famed ceramicist Charlotte Rhead.
We take a tour of some of the best antique shops in the Blue Mountains (perfect for a day trip from Sydney), and we do a spot of armchair travel with travel posters. There's a feature on the Wunderkammer, we tell the story of Little Golden Books and give you hints on how to dispose of an estate.
We look at the enigma of Etling, delve into the history of papier mache furniture and reveal the true use of WWII propaganda leaflets. There's a story on the ventriloquist dummy, we look at tiny world globes and we go back to the first Christmas window display.
There's a great feature on collecting beer memorabilia, we show you an iconic Colt pistol, we look at the perfect print for a Christmas gift and there's even a story on the birth of the tooth fairy - well, tooth jewellery to be more precise.
There's still more! You can shop your way through 18 pages of Paraphernalia stuffed full of great things to buy, plus we've included all the regular features such as Under the Hammer, Snippets, Bits and Pieces, What's it Worth and Movers and Shakers.
