In this uncertain economy, most of us look for hidden value or want ways to accumulate savings. Here, two experts on collectibles clue us in to the stuff we have stashed away in our attics, basements, or garages that may be worth more than we think, if not today, then tomorrow. Michael Hogben and Linda Abrams are also indispensable guides to finding the hidden treasures at flea markets, tag sales and community auctions. Unlike other books that deal with antiques and memorabilia, this one tells us exactly how to find treasures in the trash and where. Among the authors’ hundreds of recommendations: grandma’s old jet or bone buttons, dad’s fishing lures, Aunt Susan’s old watering can. Lucky finds might also include a 1920’s bureau, a 1960’s aluminum bowl, a snakeskin wallet or a matchbox car.
