Hippo Press Editorials
For a couple of years now I have had the pleasure of writing a weekly antiques and collectible column for a local weekly paper here in Manchester N.H. The paper is The Hippo and the name of my column is Treasure Hunt. It is based around people writing in to find out what antique or collectible they have and possibly a value for it . It has been so much fun, and some of the antique items have been very interesting, so I thought I would share some with you and I hope you enjoy reading them.
If you have an item that you would like to have me look at, feel free to send me a picture and some information and I will get back to you. Please CLICK HERE to read my latest "Treasure Hunt" article and those prior.

Webster House
In 1884 the Manchester Children’s Home (Webster House) was founded. The mission was to provide a safe home for children who were unable to live at home. The home was founded by local churches in the area who identified the need and took the necessary steps to create the home. The Amoskeag Mill Corporation then the biggest employer in Manchester partnered with the churches and provided the land for the home to be built on. This fine example of community partnering is what has allowed the children’s home to flourish over the past 125 years. Webster House has been able to continue its mission of providing a healthy home for children because of the community’s long standing willingness to help us out in good times and bad. The home is licensed by the State of New Hampshire and receives funds for services for the boys and girls that come to live at the home. Funding covers the basics, and that is where the community has stepped up to fill in the gap so the home can continue to provide the best possible services for children and families in need. I myself having lived there for several years know first hand what help they can be to a youth. I am currently on the board of directors as a way of paying it back. I want to thank all of the people that have donated to The Webster House on behalf of From Out Of The Woods Antique Center.
