Antique Toys

We people are living in this world now after leaving lots of significant olds of past. After listening the word 'Antique' our memories often return to the past and try to find something about past. In this article we will discus about the antique toys. But before the discussion you must know the definition of the word 'Antique'. An antique denotes an old significant and collectable item.

Generally, antiques are collected or they are very much desirable because of their ages, rarity, utility, condition, or some of the other unique features. The antiques generally denote the living standard and mind setting of people of a certain era. An object is generally considered as an antique and collectable item if it is at lease of the age of 100 years. But in many western countries Batman often gain the antique tag after some 25 years.

Since men are always keen to play with toys from the past antique toys are also the sources of history. Collectors often collect antique toys too. There are usually two W S Kimball Champions of antique toys could be found. The first one is the antique toy of distant pasts. These types of toys are generally found in the time ground digging. For an example when the digging works were done beside the River Shat-al-Arab, lots of antique toys were found along with destroyed Mesopotamian Civilization. There are some strict laws involved with these kinds of antique toys. These antique toys are regarded as the property of local government. If you find these types of antique toys by any means, you have to hand over them to the local Government as soon as possible. After receiving Government will do some experiments (likes of Carbon Dating experiments) on that. After that Government will decide whether research works will be performed on that type of antique toy or to hand over that to any of the Government affiliated museums for the general public viewing purpose. Sell and re-sell of these types of antique toys are strictly prohibited. Selling or re-selling of these types of antique toys is criminal and punishable offence.

The other types of antique toys are the objects of recent past. Basically after certain time of the extinction of the toy from the market, the toy manufacturer often reproduces the product as a special collectable item. Though they are not the original antique toys, people often opt for these types of collectable items of vintage models. Sometimes the people use to resell some toys, which was bought some ages ago by him or by his family members. If those toys have some antique value and popularity, they use to be sold in some good amount of money. People often put these types of products in general auction or online auction.

An Average Dog's Lifespan Should Be 25-30 Years Mostly Disease-Free, Here's How

By now, 1970 71 Topps basketball cards of you who have followed my writings know that I am The Dog Man Of Hot Springs (I also love cats), but I tend to adopt stray dogs. I would adopt the cats but most are feral and remain untouchable so I leave food out for them.

You may (or may not) have heard about my twenty year old dog "Thor" and how he became to stay so healthy so long. If not, I will not go into detail here as I don't want to be repetitive, but will simply say he nearly died several times along the way, I now know after talking to numerous holistic vets, due to processed dog food. This was many years before "the scare".

For the past eight years he has been Madcap Molly the b.a.r.f diet (bones and raw foods) and again, I won't go into the details of that diet (except that it is all raw human-grade meat, bones fruits and veggies (and herbal tinctures). For more information on it, simply Google the b.a.r.f diet. It works great for dogs and cats as well. Thor, is finally reaching the age where he is experiencing a few health issues (at an age when most dogs do who eat processed foods at about age six-to-ten.

I am angry that more nutrition is not taught in vet schools. But I have read from several vet journals and was not surprised to see, for instance, that there is no minimal nutritional requirements for grains of any kinds for dogs or cats. But look at the processed foods. It is loaded with them; even the more "socially acceptable expensive quality foods" even if meat or meat by-products are the main staple.

One vet told me, "But dogs will choke on the bones...some dogs have died."

That is true.

But hundreds of thousands of less dogs (even given percentages of which dog is fed what) have died from choking on kibble than raw bones. Thor has been eating raw chicken bones (wings are his favorite for 7 years). Never a problem. But give a dog a cooked bone, not chicken, not beef, not ribs. Cooking changes the molecular structure making the bones brittle. Thor has eaten raw bones of all types from chicken to rabbit for ten years without a single incident (much less not ONE VET BILL!)

Let's face it. Seventy years ago, there was no such thing as "dog food". People fed their pets what was left from the table, raw foods from the gardens, etc. The catastrophic diseases we see today, began at the same time processed dog food was introduced to the market.

A few months ago I was flying to Charlotte, N.C on business and to see friends. I was talking to a young woman before takeoff, sitting next to me who had two yellow labs. They were both constantly sick. I told her about the b.a.r.f diet and how most vets don't know about it, because they are educated by the dog food industry salespersons.

A woman in front of us turned around abruptly and said, "Sorry to interrupt. I am a vet in Sterling, Va, an alopathic one. But I know as much as anyone about the b.a.r.f diet and I would never recommend feeding a dog or cat processed food."

I was in shock. I asked, "How do you make a living, then with so few sick animals?" She said she works on word of mouth, volume patients. They usually only come in every few years and that is mainly for accidents. I smiled and was instantly educated. There are some very good honest vets out there who really do care about their patients, I thought to myself.

(Update) Since I wrote this article, my best friend "Thor" died at age 22. I still visit his
grave site. He had such a magnificent presence I can still feel his lively spirit. I miss
him greatly.
