Halloween collecting is a treat: Yenke Peddler Antiques | Catch My Job

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Toledo will be in front of many doll, bear and toy collectors this Saturday.

The Rossford Total Sports Arena offers a large venue as well as easy access from the Ohio Turnpike.

Known as the “Best of the Midwest,” the show offers early bird tickets for $20 starting at 8:30am. Regular admission is $7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Children 12 and under are admitted free.

By collecting Halloween items, you’ll join a growing crowd of like-minded fans. Vintage and antique pieces are very popular. Anyway, here in Cleveland, orange and brown are the colors of our browns.

Speaking of fall, large cauldrons and cauldrons were common in early pioneer cooking. Today, they are useful for making apple butter, cider and soups.

Copper, as one of the oldest metals, also contains bronze. Keeping copper shiny is pretty easy: Use a rag and dip it in white vinegar and then salt to make a paste. Rub gently and the radiant glow will return.

Most pans today are covered in stainless steel, while older pieces were coated with tin.

Coppersmiths were very common in Pennsylvania. Their works are also signed by hand, making colonial art remarkable. Today this original vessel would be valuable and useful.

Hi Brenda,

Our glass illuminated jack-o-lamp has some scale in the battery case, but we still enjoy it without the glow. The bottle is perfect. It is labeled Made in Hong Kong and has a trademark. We are curious about the value.

Hi Siele and Jim!

Your Halloween lamp is vintage, from the 1950s. The battery contacts can be gently cleaned to remove corrosion. An AQ tip dipped in water and then rolled in baking soda can bring Jack back to the light of day. This is a great piece and would carry a factory value of $65.
