[news.groups] Antique Newsgroup?

adams@swbatl.UUCP (4237) (11/26/89)

Is there, a newsgroup appropriate for the discussion of antiques and
collectables? If so would somone please direct me to it.  If not, are
there others interested in starting a mailing list?

My interests include antique radios, books, and books about radio as
well as furniture restoration, auctions and collecting trivia.
There seems to be a few people in rec.arts.books interested in book
collecting, a few in rec.woodworking interested in antique restoration,
and a few in sci.electronics interested in antique radio and radio history
but no forum dedicated to the (admittedly limited) audience for these
topics.   Perhaps they could coexist in a mailing list.  I will volunteer
to run said list, at least at the beginning.

Any interest?
Send mail to uunet!swbatl!adams or adams@swbatl.swbt.com 
please have the word antique in the subject line.   The perl
mailing list is swamping my in box :).

  Why don't you propose alt.antiques if someone doesn't find a group?
I'd like to read it, but my mailbox runs over now. rn is my idle daemon so I can read news all day long when waiting for make, printouts, etc.
