If You Could Get Any Antique as a Gift, What Would It Be?

By , About.com GuideDecember 24, 2008

Follow me on:

Collectors often ponder opening a gift and finding the treasure of their dreams. My fantasy gift would be more collectible than antique, but it would definitely be a rare piece of vintage costume jewelry that I'll probably never have the opportunity to buy, much less afford, for my collection. If you could receive any antique or collectible as a gift, what would it be? Post a comment to share your heart's desire with us!

The dream antique I would like to receive as a gift would be the Miss New York head vase or a masked lady head vase.

The antique I would most like to receive is an ornate Victorian wood cook stove that has been reworked to use electricity and/or gas.
