Collectible Miniatures, Gifts for the Collector

Ranked #6,027 in Arts & Design, #99,633 overall

Collectible Little Things

Small figurines of people or objects can showcase the remarkable skill of talented artisans and artists. Found objects, such as rocks and shells can showcase the wonderment of nature. Collecting and displaying these small things can bring immense pleasure during the search, the find and afterward, in the arrangement of the objects in a display case.

Let me show you some objects for the beginning collector or the one who already has quite the collection. Collectors love gifts that show that you paid attention to what they like.

Silver Collectibles

The cost of silver is rising all the time. Perhaps even more than gold and diamonds. A silver miniature is a great addition to anyone's collection.

Franklin Mint Collectible Cats

Here you can see a collection of superb cat curios and at the same time have a wonderful introduction to the history of art styles and materials used over the years. This lens serves as a reference for me when I need to refresh my memory.

A Beautiful Larger Piece

Look at the detail on this exquisite piece. At 3.5 inches long and 2 inches tall (8.9 cm x 5.1 cm) this is a larger miniature. The workmanship is breathtakingly beautiful. One car from the first series (of 12) produced by the Franklin Mint from sterling silver, the collector would be thrilled to add this car to his or her display.

I would love to own this piece; however, it is too large for my collection.

    My grandmother made hundreds of mini-crochet items, so I look for pieces that help show them off.

    People do like to collect, don't they? I've started uncollecting! Passed two family sentiment-only heirlooms on this weekend...
