RJG Antiques Announces Third Annual Year-End Website Sale on Antiques, Folk Art, and Decoys
RJG Antiques Announces Third Annual Year-End Website Sale on Antiques, Folk Art, and Decoys
Rye, NH (PRWEB) December 09, 2011
Russ and Karen Goldberger will again offer a 30% discount on all antiques, folk art, and decoys on their website, http://www.rjgantiques.com, from December 9 through January 2, following highly successful year-end sales in the past two years. In addition to the discount, all items purchased during the sale are shipped for free in the Continental United States.
As always, the Goldbergers take great care in fully describing and guaranteeing all objects offered for sale from their website. Among the “best buys” in this year’s sale, Russ Goldberger notes a miniature doll’s sled and a pair of Mason Tackeye Mallard Decoys.
“The sled is a beautiful example in nearly perfect original condition,” Goldberger notes. “Only 14″ long, there is still paint on the iron runners, which usually wears off because these sleds were actually used to pull dolls around. This one was probably made in South Paris, Maine, and dates to 1860-1880. Originally priced at $ 3,450, during the sale, this item is less than $ 2,500.”
For beginning decoy collectors, Goldberger favors a nearly mint Mason Tackeye Mallard Pair. “These are natural rigmates. Mason Decoys were packed twelve to a box — eight drakes and four hens — so it is very unusual to find a hen that came out of the same box as a drake. They are nearly mint in original paint. Marked $ 2,850 on our website, at the 30% discount, they are less than $ 2,000, which is half of what they would have sold for five years ago.”
Pioneers in selling antiques and folk art on the internet, the Goldbergers have seen sales from their website expand dramatically in recent years. “We do a small number of antique and decoy shows each year, but a majority of our sales — both to past customers and to new collectors — now originate from our website,” Goldberger notes. “Our annual year-end sales have been particularly successful. We offer extensive descriptions, multiple high-quality images, and of course our unconditional guarantee to help buyers make decisions with confidence. Combined with regular email newsletters and a continually updated Facebook page, http://www.RJGAntiques.com is one of the most active antiques and decoy websites on the internet.”

IDEX Doll & Teddy Bear Show: Not Just Your Grandma’s Antiques Any More
IDEX Doll & Teddy Bear Show: Not Just Your Grandma’s Antiques Any More
Hunt Valley, MD (PRWEB) February 6, 2009
Doll collecting usually congers up images of little old ladies in houses filled to the rafters with antique dolls. Not so. Just visit the annual IDEX Doll and Teddy Bear Show to find dolls of every type, size and construction. While most of the dolls and bears are original or limited edition artist creations with a price tag to match, there were some unique doll makers offering affordable dolls meant to be played with.
Just ask the Citrus Council Girls Scouts. Seventy five scouts visited the show on Saturday to check out what IDEX had to offer its youngest doll enthusiasts. Their first stop was a visit with Bev White of Happy Tymes Collectibles to make their own cute little cuddly critters. Bev’s Teddies to Go are a great way to introduce youngsters to the artistry of teddy bears. From there the Scouts spilled onto the show floor for a scavenger hunt coordinated by show’s promoter Madavor. The scouts also got to see first hand the amazing creativity and artistry involved in the making dolls and bears.
The proverbial cherry on the top of the sundae – - each girl received her very own Karito Kids Doll care of Laura and Lisa of KidsGive. These dolls are meant to be played with and educate young girls that “…kids around the world are pretty much the same, and given the chance want to help each other.” In addition to the dolls, girls can go to the Karito Kids website to play games, earn points and learn about other cultures.
For just $ 59, girls can enjoy the funky friends from Inspire U., LLC. The Friends Forever Girls® are more than just dolls. Founder of Inspire U. Lisa Necochea explains “As a mom, what makes The Friends Forever Girls® so special is the Butterfly Promise that the girls make to each other. The girls (doll characters) created it in the first book, The First Day of Forever, and use it to navigate through their life and friendship.”
An unexpected surprise was the even more affordable cloth dolls created by Kathy and Janet Lennon of the famed “Lennon Sisters”. Kathy and Janet have recreated the homemade rag dolls made for them by their Mom and Nana. “We want other young children to know the joy of holding soft little dolls in their arms, listening to sweet music, and sharing special moments with their Best Pals…”
It is great to see that doll makers are reaching out to young girls to engage them in the appreciation of doll artistry and offering affordable dolls with a conscience.
