Hello! Your feedback is welcome. It's good to hear from readers, and I value your comments. I do enjoy helping you when I can, and try to answer questions related to this website's topics within a few days, but please be patient. Please understand that I can not help with valuation and appraisal and can't answer queries about antiques that have no connection with Old & Interesting's subject matter. Please explain what you'd like to know as clearly as possible to help me help you. A photo often helps. Thanks!

You may like our new sister site Home Things Past where you'll find articles about antiques, vintage kitchen stuff, crafts, and other things to do with home life in the past. There's space for comments and discussion too. Please do take a look and add your thoughts. (Comments don't appear instantly.)
For sources please refer to the books page, and/or the excerpts quoted on the pages of this website, and note that many links lead to museum sites. Feel free to ask if you're looking for a specific reference - feedback is always welcome anyway. Unfortunately, it's not possible to help you with queries about prices or valuation.
