THE WEEKEND COLLECTOR: Silver Bookmarks


Finding new collectors is one of my favorite online activities. This weekend's collector is Howie Schecter, who collects silver bookmarks.  Howie started his collection by 'accident'. In 1995, he mentioned to his cousin that he was attending the many weekend flea markets in Southern California, and she said that she collected silver bookmarks, and if he found any, would he pick them up for her? Well, he did find several, and decided to start his own collection. I'll let you read his story for yourself, on his website Silver Bookmarks.

I have one single silver bookmark. Now that I have read about Howie's collections and interest, I can tell, that's one category I think I'm going to start working on!
