What are everyone's thoughts on the future value of gas collectibles. For instance, I am 46 now and when I go to an auction I see old wooden butter churns go for allot less than what they used to go for becasue the next generation does not know what a butter churn is so they have no desire to collect. I have spoken with auctioneers and they tell me that general antigues have started to go down in value - not because of the economy but becasue the younger generation does not know what they are. Can this happen with gas collectibles? Is the younger geberation collecting these? Will this stop me from collecting - no because i like it as a hobby and the nature of the people that collect. I just wanted to get a consensus on everyones thoughts.
