Calling All Collectors

What is a collector and why do people do it? 

Collecting in its simplest form is a hobby. A love of certain things that they find appealing, attractive, interesting. For some people it starts early in life, for others it comes with age, a nostalgia for times past.

Some purely do it for the aesthetic appeal, other research and gain in-depth knowledge to compliment their collection. 

People collect many different thing but there are of course some classics. Stamps, coins ceramics by a particular manufacturer,, Coca Cola products, breweriana, royal memorabilia, vintage toys, teddy bears, postcards, militaria, items from a particular event or era. The list goes on and on. 

At Algarve Emporium Charity we receive donations of goods from many different people, in these donations we sometimes uncover collectables. 

These are offered via Facebook, on our group, For Sale (From Algarve Emporium Charity).
