4. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help   
      
   We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your   
   story to newsletter@tias.com and we'll publish it in an upcoming newsletter.    
   Please share your story about what you collect and what got you started   
   collecting.  We *love* to hear your stories!  If you have a story you'd like   
   to share, tell us about it and if you have any photos, we'd love to see them!    
   Send us an email to newsletter@tias.com so we can share your story with the   
   rest of our readers.   
      
   Remember that you can check out our Facebook page for some interesting   
   updates.  Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/TIASAntiques If you have   
   photos of items you would like to share you can post them there as well.  You   
   don't need a Facebook account to visit our page.  If you do have a facebook   
   account please "Like" us!   
      
   Also, everyday, we post a "This Date In History" story on our Facebook page,   
   along with an item for sale on http://www.tias.com that relates to the event.    
   We're also highlighting one item each day that we find particularly   
   interesting - something that's very unusual!  Check it out!   
      
   Thanks to those of you who have responded in the past! We really enjoy, and   
   appreciate, the feedback!   
   --   
   We don't have any stories this week, but we have quite a number of submissions   
   from our readers who are looking for information and/or value of items they've   
   either found while shopping or have inherited. It's always fun to see what   
   other people own and treasure!  Although we can't put the pictures in this   
   newsletter, please visit our Facebook page to view the images and learn about   
   those items.   
      
   Last week Glenda K sent us this:   
      
   "I FOUND THIS SMALL ORIENTAL HAND DECORATED CABINET AT AN ESTATE SALE   
   RECENTLY, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT ITS PURPOSE MIGHT BE?  THE   
   INSIDE IS LINED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE GLASS.  IT STANDS 12CÇØ H X   
   12CÇØW X 9 1/2" D."   
      
   We're thinking humidor perhaps?  Anyone else care to comment? ht
