 Welcome
to Issue 48 of the WCN Magazine.Happy 50th Birthday Barbie - the leading lady of Dolls was created 50 years ago and we pay tribute to her with a feature from Sue Brewer. Did you know it has been estimated that 105,000,000 yards of fabric have been used to make the fashion clothing for Barbie and her friends.  We take a look at some old potteries - one in the US Rookwood Pottery and the Martin Brothers Pottery in the UK.
There has been a lot of increased interest over the past few years in older pottery, especially in the US where the area has often been neglected.  Tracy Martin gives us some tips on Collecting Designer goods and we end by looking at some Royal Souvenirs on a Shoestring. REQUEST: We would love to expand and add more features on all aspects of collecting. Can you help? If you have a collecting interest or would like to write a feature please let us know. Our Previous Issues and Features archives nearly 100 selected articles on subjects ranging from Buttons to Glass, and from Halloween to Victorian Christmas Cards. There are hundreds of other articles and features at the World Collectors Net and you can now search all indexed pages using our Collectibles Search or using the form below. Thanks for visiting. Darryl and The WCN Team. Please contact us with articles, stories and topics for discussion. |
