Apollo 11 Cufflinks
If you consider yourself a space enthusiast, you will be blown away by these cuff links. Michael Collins is a NASA astronaut who orbited the moon in the 1969 command module of the Apollo 11. He loaned the originals to the National Air and Space Museum. From vintage photos to system handbooks, collections from that space mission proved to be popular. Original newspapers and magazines can get hundreds or thousands of dollars! The original cufflinks are originally made of enamel, gold, and pearl. It is not that hard to spot imitations. Someone found these at a Salvation Army for $4, but they are worth $4,000.
Ancient John Bartlam Teapot
Yes, this teapot is little and short. Even so, trust us when we say that its value is big and stout! Someone got it at an online auction for $20. However, neither the buyer nor the seller had any idea that it was one of the earliest porcelain pieces produced in the United States. A British potter by the name of John Bartlam moved across the pond in 1973. His pieces were the highest quality porcelain in the country at the time. The white and blue pots were thought to be luxurious and got a lot of attention. They are rare and go for a lot of money despite chips and missing bits. This piece has an estimated value of $806,000.
