<br />Antiques
<br />Reminders of Days Gone By
<br />
<br />One of the hidden treasures of
<br />the prairie are the antiques that sur-
<br />vived through the
<br />years. Northeast
<br />Colorado is filled
<br />with stores that
<br />showcase these gems.
<br />If china sui ts your
<br />fancy, you'll find
<br />Wedgewood, Blue
<br />Willow, Nippon and
<br />Noritake plentiful, as
<br />well as some rare
<br />pieces. Although the
<br />times may have been
<br />tough, the nice trin-
<br />kets pioneers trea-
<br />sured were handed
<br />down from generation to generation.

<br />the back roads of the region, stuffed
<br />with treasures just waiting for you
<br />to find. Carnival
<br />and Coofus glass
<br />are hot items
<br />across the state.
<br />You'll find a cache
<br />of depression glass
<br />in the colors of the
<br />rainbow.
<br />Old crocks
<br />that were used for
<br />making pickles,
<br />preserving meats,
<br />making sauerkraut
<br />and head cheese
<br />go for top dollar.
<br />Cream separators
<br />and cans are coveted treasures left
<br />from the days when many families
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />milked twice a day to have milk,
<br />cream, and butter. Camel back
<br />trunks filled with hand-stitched
<br />antique quilts grace the stores.
<br />These are often found in mint con-
<br />dition with many a story to tell.
<br />Product tins are another popu-
<br />lar item, advertising oatmeal, cof-
<br />fee and crackers, to name a few.
<br />Antique advertising signs and
<br />wooden crates are also popular.
<br />Perhaps while looking for that
<br />special collectible you'll run across
<br />some Coors pottery or maybe some
<br />aged silverware. Hoosier cabinets,
<br />antique bookcases, brass beds and
<br />more await you all across the re-
<br />gion. No matter where you go, the
<br />region's antique stores all are ha-
<br />vens for homespun hospitality.
