He put on appraisal shows locally, once in Parkersburg, once in Cambridge, Oh. He had an Internet radio show I listened to a few times. He annouced his retirement in '20 or '21. Another knowledgeable voice hanging it up :/

I always preferred older stuff. I decided early that I'd try to keep things made before 1920. I think I'm an age snob I noticed years ago that when we went to sales and such that everything was getting newer and newer. I remember Erma Bombeck mentioning in a column a visit to an antique shop and being horrified to see things she'd had as a child being sold as antique. lol
