The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

After listening to the conversations of several people, Zhang Nan learned that the shop manager would prepare a shaving cup with his name for the old customers.

Interesting customs and industry creations with great business philosophy. The guy who came up with this method is a genius!

However, I don't know the reasons why the porcelain industry in the United States was not particularly good or cultural traditions. These cups were almost all imported from Germany or France in the early days. The original price of each cup was generally between 50 cents and 2.5 US dollars.

At that time, the U.S. dollar was linked to gold. It was worth more than that. Even a pistol started at $2, and a pair of leather boots was only $1.5. With this calculation, these cups are not cheap.

At this time, the Donny Rudiger took a cup with a hand holding a pen and wrote patterns on the desk and said: "...These cups are hand-drawn, like this one, the owner should be a writer. Or newspaper editor."

Anna Phillipston's eyes lit up, and then she asked: "Does the pattern on the cup represent the occupation of the owner?"

"Yes, a lot of this is the case. Was the original person very interesting?

A very creative idea. If a new customer walks into a shop, they only need to take a look at the shaving cups that are specially placed to get a general understanding of the shop’s customer base, and it can also be very intuitive to see this. What is the reputation and craftsmanship of the store "

That was the era of the Titanic. People have classes. People with too much class difference will be separated on the ship, and they will not be mixed in daily life.

And these shaving cups not only have personality, but also class. Basically, you must have a middle-class or above background to have your own exclusive shaving cup.

Speaking here, Donnie has changed a cup from the small table. It is the cup with burgundy glaze. The pattern on the top is a scene painting: in a watch shop, a customer is talking with the owner of a watchmaker.

"The surface of this cup is also plated with a large amount of 22k gold. It was estimated that it would cost at least $2.50, which is very expensive!"

The host Anna heard this and interjected: "Watchmaker, he can afford the money."

"Of course, the watchmaker a hundred years ago was still a very rich profession and respected."

Having said that, the onlookers should also understand that these cups are very epitome of the times, and the recording of the cups has also entered the stage of classics: Are these cups precious or not?

What is precious, to put it bluntly, is money and cultural connotation.

Expert Donnie said: "There are not many shaving cups with a history of more than 70 or 80 years, and fewer with the professional characteristics of the owner, but there is always a way to find them.

but…"

She picked up one of the cups.

"But it's really hard to find such a thing, and there is almost no hope of finding it!"

Six cups, one belongs to the railway system, because there is a locomotive on the cup; a senior tailor with a picture of a customized suit on the cup; a writer or editor; a sergeant with the sergeant on the cup; one A government worker is estimated to be of a relatively high-level position. The scene painting is a person sitting in an office decorated with the American flag.

Donnie was holding the sixth cup. Zhang Nan's eyes were good. Seeing the strange pattern on it, she suddenly couldn't understand the situation.

As for Alyosha, who was standing behind him, even after taking a glance, he thought further--"Fuck, Damo is here, then this cup is absolutely rare!"

Damo, now it is well-known throughout the United States, and even most of the Western world knows it, this will be lying in a high-security prison hospital waiting for trial.

Why are you getting involved with cannibalism?

The scene on the cup shows a guy in a suit and leather shoes standing in front of a high four-legged bed with a semi-naked-man covered only with a white cloth on the vital parts.

The standing one is holding a knife in his hand, and the one who is lying is cutting a thigh!

Very feeling, cut!

Of course, what Alyosha was thinking was self-entertainment. Which murderer would print his hobby as a profession on the shaving cup?

So what is the one with the knife doing? What is it doing?

Only Donny Rudiger said: "Compared with the relatively common patterns on the other 5 cups, this surgeon's shaving cup is extremely rare!

The general surgeon’s cup will have a medicine box or other patterns that can show the identity of the doctor. On this cup, a doctor named Pauline cuts the patient’s thigh, which is vivid and bold!

Rare, extremely rare! "

The name of the owner is written on the cup, in gold letters.

The meat show is here-how much is it worth?

Donnie first talked about the writer's cup. Although the names of people written in gold lacquer on it are blurred, this cup can also be worth US$80 to US$100.

The treasure holders and couples are happy-judging from their clothes, the couple should belong to the middle class with good economic conditions and are not short of money. But it is also very happy to be sure that the small collections left by the elders are of good value and rare.

And this writer's cup is still the more common among these six cups, and then Donnie Rudiger directly picked up the "thigh-cut" shaving cup that she valued most~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As for Dr. Pauline's The cup is the most special and rarest shaving cup I have ever seen. If it goes to auction, the price should exceed $20,000. "

This is not a happy smile. The treasure-holder couple and the host Anna both have surprised expressions, especially the gentleman with a mouth and a chin almost falling off.

Anna's expression should be pretend, and the host also has the qualities of an actor. But everyone can tell that the treasure holders are really surprised, "...I, it's so amazing, they are so valuable! I can't believe it..."

After a second or two, the couple showed a happy expression.

In the final estimate, these 6 cups can reach 30,000 US dollars no matter what.

Zhang Nan smiled and watched this relaxed recording. After the cameraman, host, treasure holder and expert added a few close-up shots according to the requirements of the director, these six cups became one of Anna's choices. .

However, Zhang Nan knew that these cups would definitely not become the "civilian national treasures" that would eventually win, not only because their value and connotation are not to a certain extent, but because of their spread.

A middle-aged and middle-aged couple with good conditions will never sell the beloved collection left by their father for $30,000.

Since they won’t sell it, the big boss still rarely visits the scene, and the film crew will choose them only when hell. Zhang Nan has no interest in this kind of old American cultural objects. Besides, the limitations of this kind of collection are too great: The collection of these cups is to collect its "shaving properties", not because it is porcelain!

They are all separated from the collections of their own materials, and non-major categories have become extremely niche collections, which Zhang Nan does not play.
