Cream of Tartar

Tina Dils, a fellow hobbyist, just started a collecting blog. There are a LOT of artists' blogs for remaking, sculpting, and painting, but not too many for those of us who simply like to collect. It's a new blog, but her third post helped me add two nice vintage pieces to my collection!

Tina suggested that collectors look on Craigslist as well as some other places for pieces. I had looked there before without success, but thought I would give it a whirl again. And this time, I found a woman, Kim Myer, in Decatur, Indiana, who was selling her entire collection.

Better yet, she was a collector, so her pieces were good ones. Even better? Her prices were reasonable and in-line with today's market (Breyer values have been low since the economy tanked in 2009.)

I contacted Kim and bought two pieces form her. The first is one I have wanted for years: Cream of Tartar.
