Reggie's Attic Estates & Antiques

I am always looking for something a little bit different to sell that will at least make people stop and take notice of my booth.  I recently I sold perhaps one of the most unusal finds I've had in years.  I almost wish I had had a nanny cam on people as they would walk by it.  Some would try to guess what it was and when they would read the tag they would jump back, gasp, laugh, grab a friend, and snap a photo etc.  I can safely say that there have been over a hundred photos taken of this one item.  This item is exactly what you think it is.  This is a 19th century chastity belt.  Constructed only of metal.  This was completely hand made.  The only thing not original are the rings they were added to help keep it closed.  This one had double locks.  Some would only have a single lock.  My most asked question was where did I find such an item.  Well, for my Ashland, KY followers, yes this was found in a hou...

I deal quite a bit in vintage clothing including furs and I get asked alot of questions about them.  At first, I was afraid of buying and selling fur coats because I wasn't sure of what I was getting into.  For several years, I had the privilege of setting across the aisle from a fur dealer who had been in the fur business for over 40 years.  He was like a text book of information and studying his racks of coats made it easier for me to begin identify coats.  Not only did he teach me about buying them, he also taught me how to sell good furs.  Nothing I enjoyed more than watching him sell a coat. But first lets start with some basics he passed on to me. First, why should someone buy a fur?  A fur coat is warmer than probably any other coat you will find.  When I was a kid, my mom use to put rabbit fur coats on me and send me to school.  They always made me sneeze and I would complain but she said if animals can stay out in the wildernes...

I have noticed in the years of being an antique dealer that younger generations have any if any interest in collecting.  They don't want clutter.  They want to be minimalist.  I have recently found myself trying to get my own children interested in collecting so dragging them along with me is not so boring.  I can say my daughter who has just turned four has become quite the collector. At the time Donnie and I found out we were having a girl, I was at a point that decorating for holiday's was more of a chore than an enjoyment.  JB, my eldest, is big into the Christmas decorating but has little interest in the other holidays.  Somehow having a daughter changed everything.  Our 6 plastic, lighted, molded pumkins we started with has managed to grow to 200 pumpkins, 6 monsters, and trick-or-treat parties and nights Courtney will never forget. Courtney and her daddy spent their time searching for holiday ...
