Video Introduction to Gin-For's Odditiques...who we are, where the name comes from, and more.
Welcome and Introduction
Thanks for coming by.
At Gin-For's Odditiques, you'll find some familiar
names but not just the usual suspects. As I like
to think Dr. Frankenstein might have said to Walt
Whitman, "I sing the body eclectic." (Apologies to
Walt.) The internet can be a mighty impersonal
place, which is one reason we try hard to make the site
personal and hope you'll feel comfortable within our
rather eccentric virtual walls. You'll find our
cats wandering around, and there are puns mixed with the
pottery, maybe some giggles with the glass.
We buy what we like (and
what we can get at a good price), so what's on the site
is what I call our rotating collection. I've never
knowingly passed up a sweet piece of Roseville at a good
price, but I don't buy by name. We're one of the
first sites (especially in the US) to offer a
significant selection of West German pottery, and not
just the easy to find pieces. We also have essays
and videos, enough to while away several hours.
At any given time, you're likely to find numerous items by companies or people you never heard of before as well as unmarked and unidentified items. If it's quirky and well done, we'll go after it. When people ask how we can part with really neat things, the answer is simple. We get to go look for more. Well, once the cats are fed and bills are paid, then we get to go look for more. So, all proceeds go to support good causes: my spouse, our cats, our creditors, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends.
