Kugel Christmas Ornaments

There are two things that can happen when you get Christmas ornaments as gifts. You can either put it in the storage box or hang it in your Christmas tree and reuse it for years to come. However, there is actually a less known third option, which is to go online and make it big at sales. Eric Silver, an evaluator, says that antique sleds can be priced as much as $100 but blown glass ornaments can go for $1,700! However, those with German Kugel ornaments from the 1840s to the 1940s are the true winners here. After all, these stunning pieces go for $18,000! Don’t just throw away your Christmas décor, folks!

Vintage Lunch Boxes

The truth is that the value of these beauties is directly related to decorations about rock bands and even cartoon characters. It looks like vintage tin accessories used by schoolchildren do more than simply carry food. A lunch box collector by the name of Thad Reece said that collectors pay as much as ten thousand times more than what it originally cost for these pricey lunch boxes. Which are the most profitable ones of the lot? Well, a 1963 Jetsons-themed lunch box had an estimated value of $1,000 to $1,650, while a 1962 Dudley do-right one went for over $2,200. According to Allen Woodall, the founder of one of the biggest lunchbox galleries in the world, a Superman luncheon box happens to be the most popular lunchbox in history. Made in 1954, it went up to $13,000!
