Everyone is Collector Says Dealer in Antiques By GAY PAULEY New York -(CPU- A veteran antique dealer said today that . collecting no1 longer is confined to the snob set. Ev eryone seems to be "squir reling up", something, from old pudding molds to old store signs. "The collecting bug's spread all over the country," said , Miss . Anne . Benjamin. "It is a bug we never spray." . Miss Benjamin, a small, brown-eyed woman . in her middle years, said' that "when 1 1 first began in this business, it was the old and wealthy who collected. Now everybody's doing it. Young people. Poor people. People who never knew what an an tique was. "I have one woman custo mer who collects pitchers. She came in the other day and found one she wanted, shelled out $20 and said, 'Well, there goes a new pair of shoes.' . . "I know one old lady who can hardly afford groceries, but she will pay $7 or $8 for an antique button. So maybe she does without some of the everyday necessities. But she loves old and . beautiful things:" Miss Benjamin, whose shop is in its 17th year, cred ited World War II with the upsurge in collecting, for two reasons. One, shortages of materials which cut the number of new items made for the home. Young couples furnishing an apartment or house scrounged through at tics and antique shops. "Once they found how beautiful and superbly made some of the old things were, they were hooked," she said. "World War n gave Victor ian furniture a tremendous revival. And too, the war took a lot of men to parts of the world they'd never seen. They began shipping or bringing things home . . . stuff out of old castles. And guns. Guns, are a big collec tor's item now. I can get about any price for a little old powder horn." The dealer's well-stocked shop includes a whole series of closets filled with costum es, dating to the 1860's. Broadway and television producers come to her fre quently for authentic cos tumes she helped outfit the cast for the "Sunrise at Cam- pobello" play built around the . Franklin D. Roosevelt family in the early 1900s. The dealer got her own start in antiques because as a girl growing up in New York "I began, collecting as a hobby. First it was china. Then old umbrella handles. Then toys. I finally had to open a shop to have a place for them." She is one of the 125 deal ers who will exhibit at the New York Antiques fair, an annual event which this year will run Oct. 19-24. A pound of moth crystals per 100 cubic feet of closet space is a must. Any smaller amount won't give off enough concentration of vapor to kill insects. is your kind of shoe Annua!
