Kovels.com Releases Top 20 Antiques and Collectibles Searches for 2014
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) January 15, 2015 -- Kovels.com examined its most searched-for items of 2014 and decided the list is notable for what it doesn't include. Collectors don’t seem to be searching Kovels.com these days for furniture, art glass, silver or metal.
Twelve of the top 20 categories are pottery or porcelain, five can be considered advertising and three are (inexpensive) glass. Four categories—stoves, lighters, scales and cash registers—can be considered “tech” (even if from another time or century), but are not decorative. Focus has shifted from big collections of a single collecting category—say, 350 19th-century dolls—to small groups of unique items that are related by style, maker or theme—like ten of the best Roseville vases.
So what are the most popular collectibles? Here’s what antique enthusiasts were researching in 2014:
1. Fenton
2. Occupied Japan
3. Coca-Cola
4. Stoves
5. McCoy
6. Depression glass
7. Bavaria
8. Wedgwood
9. Dinnerware
10. Capo-Di-Monte
11. Delft
12. Hull
13. Belleek
14. Satsuma
15. Bottles
16. Lighters
17. Scales
18. Red Wing
19. Cash registers
20. Pepsi-Cola
Buy a new but not yet popular collectible or antique if you want to get a great buy that will likely go up in value.
