A Veteran's Day Remembrance: Let Me Call You Sweetheart

Wednesday November 11, 2009

Finding ways to show appreciation on Veteran's Day takes many forms, including taking a look back at the traditions of yesteryear and the significance they had in the lives of service personnel and their families. Thinking along these lines, one of my favorite World War II topics happens to be sweetheart jewelry. When these mementos were given and received more than 60 years ago, they held special meaning. This significance lives on today through collectors of military memorabilia and vintage jewelry lovers alike. Read Let Me Call You Sweetheart to learn more.

I have a very old table in poor shape. I don’t know what to call it or value. If I email you a pic would you be so kind as to educate me? Thank you so much.

I recently purchased a Limoges tankard from an antique site. I usually collect German Steins/Beer Mugs, but this tankard really looked special. I was wondering if you have ever heard of “Ges Rees”. The tankard is signed by this individual and has a date of 97′ on it. I attempted to look up this artist who supposedly painted this tankard but could not find anything on like about him. I appreciate any insight you might have.
