Antique get creative with recycling ideas in the Florida Green

(Deland, FL) - It has often been often said that the antique business is recycling final distribution of activity, but several former Florida Shows / Promotions Puchstein have taken the idea to the next level. Antiquities are being recycled itself same or at least parts of them in new forms and uses are still some vestiges of the old original still appeal to modern needs and tastes.

Three traders settled in on 22 at January 24 edition of Antiquity in Deland Show Fairgrounds in Deland, Volusia County, Florida.

Bruce and Vicky Pantii the Windy Palm Trading Company has a thing for plastic. More specifically, they have a thing about Bakelite, the plastic principles developed by the Belgian Leo Baekeland, doctor in Chemistry in 1907. The formula was acquired by American Bakelite Catalin Corporation in 1927 to produce phenolic resins that make it durable Bakelite plastic.While many commercial and industrial applications one of the most popular applications developed in the 1930 when it was used to make jewelry. The most popular and expensive by today's bracelets and pins carvings.

Pantii Bruce said that ten years ago 90 percent of its sales are vintage items, but customers started asking Bakelite bangles with polka dots, but not only did not leave any. He decided to do. Now 90 percent of its business is custom signed "Wearable art" pieces made of Bakelite. Start with a simple vintage bakelite bracelet and polka dots inserted from Bakelite stock, usually ten tubes inch originally used as measures to make bracelets that has collected in the last twenty years. These bracelets retail new style in the low to mid hundreds dollars for standard widths up to $ 500 for the benefit of the greats. To make a bracelet affordable five years ago began to take a kind bracelets Acrylic he calls "Vibrulite" and decorated with bakelite or bow points. These sell in the range of $ 150. Pantii is selling both the environment and art by recycling old Bakelite stock.

Want to buy an old typewriter used very addicted to the manual no longer works? Nor does anyone. But Roy and Rhonda Barska typewriter and jewelry are probably involved. Twelve years ago she began Selling Antiques and collectibles, but could not sell its inventory of used typewriters and decided to recycle. How? Using the letter on the keyboard. They are especially fond of the old Crown because must have the best sources. Began removing the bakelite or celluloid keys to good sources and incorporating them into jewelry-made law by using molds. They started with bracelets and expanded the line to include necklaces, earrings, pins, rings, cufflinks, money clips, pass holders, keychains and many other varied applications and intelligent including many from customer suggestions. Pendants and rings from $ 25 to $ 45. Bracelets are $ 35 and bracelets complete with multiple typewriter keys the card is $ 80 and up. If a customer requests a particular style or theme that Roy is out of stock will within thirty minutes outside of the additional shares made shows. A good source for Barska business is weddings. That as the pieces for weddings and showers, at the request of the prospective brides and grooms.

John Boston Atkinson was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he is working on it, a tablespoon at a time. Actually used pins as well, but skips the knives through the gap in the handles. It becomes old silver coated or covered in sterling silver jewelry with magnetic closures. He couples interesting design patterns on the handle of forks or spoons in a custom bracelet with a clasp. It started as a search pattern matching silver, but ended up with boxes of unused silverware or can not be beaten. He realized that he could turn a spoon handle in a ring pattern and your customers will always have a sample of the pattern being sought.

From there it expanded to bracelets and rings and personalized custom make items as you expect. It sells for $ 20 silver bracelets and silver chains and rings for $ 5. It also has a wide variety of models to choose from, and many of them monogrammed. Many customers want the patterns of a given year. Their main complaint is that good action is increasingly difficult to find. Most of the patterns of the 1960's were too light to make decorative jewelry and not as much silver is in the public market today. Silver has excellent books of reference standards and can probably match the silver standard and custom inventory is a ring or bracelet. Also the patterns used to date, as many of your customers want patterns for a given year. Notes that many people use its service to recycle parts of the family silver instead of passing along the full sets.
