I think your wife and mine are telepathically communicating! That said Bev is willing to go for the ride and question whether the item I am looking at is a repro. It is good to have a doubting, cynical partner, keeps you on your toes. She did say she likes the globes-so I think she's relenting/accepting!

She only appreciates my stuff when someone other than me expresses an interest in it, then she gets all proud of "our" collection. When we're alone it's "my s**t".

She has tons of Waterford Christmas ornaments at $20-$40 or more a pop. Not the crystal type, but the figurines and such. And she has to have 50-75 or so of them. And she collects mid-century glass bowls. Those for the most part, seem to come pretty cheap. But her addictions are minor league compared to my oil & gas addiction. I have to say, I get a little kick out of each of her collections. Some of the stuff is pretty nice.
Steve Coppens Always interested in Sunoco items! Really want a Sunoco National pump ad glass!!

I bet The Keeper has 10K in Hallmark Christmas ornaments. Plus those 12" to 18" Santas . . . .
Oh, and she collects Ice Cream globes too . . .
Later.

I'm just a little worried. My wife does collects Red glass but lately she has been taking photos of all my sh**. Then researching the Value of everything. Asking what I paid and then telling me how much its worth today.She use to be a little frugel but not anymore. Oh well ,It was fun while it lasted. I'M talking about marriage of course.
