	title of this thread your message In this slightly insane politically correct era, where everyone minds everybody else's business, some people might be shocked that antique furnishing collectors might own something that is not very 'green'. Crips....the 'colbalt blue' Fiesta Ware of the 1930's ACTUALLY HAS COLBALT IN ITS' GLASE!! None of the vintage Eames fiberglass chairs are environmently safe for disposal, but they're fine if they're not crumbling. The house I used to live in had asbestos siding, and when I bought that house, the inspector said that the siding was fine as long as it was not crumbling. So....I'm sure that some of the items we all own and love might be not be "green" by today's standards. I'm having a hard time using the compact florescent bulbs in my vintage lamps because I don't think they light as well as when I use incandescent bulbs. Call me old-fashioned. Some of the older materials aren't used anymore because they are nasty. Old crumbling latex foam is replaced with a much more subtle foam that last MUCH longer. What about all those collectors of Victorian that's stuffed with horsehair? associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
