Salt And Pepper Shakers
Like ornamental bells, salt and pepper shakers are other types of items that you might struggle to understand the worth of beyond seasoning your food. While there are plenty of ornamental salt and pepper shakers that are objectively valuable, few collectors care for them. These culinary items fall into the niche category, with only highly specialized buyers showing interest in them. If you had to browse through eBay for them, you would see that they do not go for much, with $40 being the average peak.
Old Playbills
Theatre fans will often keep the playbills of the many incredible shows and productions that they attended as fond mementos. Your memorabilia from that time you sent to a Broadway show might only hold worth in your memory, sadly. The internet managed to devalue many former collector treasures, with playbills now being freely available on their respective productions’ websites. There was a Barbara Streisand production playbill from 1964, called “Funny Girl”, which apparently could be sold for more than $350. Today, such an item will go for a maximum of $10.
