Everything we collect today was yesterdays garbage.
For me, my collecting interests are not based on my personal memories. For me; it`s the pride, quality, craftsmanship that went everything. The general boom in manufacturing and advertising post World War I and II all play a part in my collecting interests. Even the packaging that was to be discarded was quality built...another reason why it survived, because it was repurposed. In my opinion, the lure and the romance of those years will never really die or fade. Those are truly iconic years of advertising, innocence and good wholesome family values. We as a civilization will never have those simple and carefree times again.
I don`t think that items from the 80`s, 90`s and onwards will be as collectible.
