Norman Rockwell Decorative Plates
Norman Rockwell was an American artist who painted idyllic scenes of life in the United States. His work became an American institution because it was so well-liked. “Americana” is synonymous with his creations. He’s known for being able to bridge the gap between illustration and serious painting. Although high-brow art dismissed Rockwell’s work, he illustrated Mark Twain’s “Tom Sawyer” and painted presidential portraits for Kennedy, Nixon, Johnson, and Eisenhower.

Rockwell’s iconic American imagery can be found on these plates. His one-of-a-kind appeal evokes nostalgia and exudes worth, but it isn’t genuine. Boomers, we apologize for the inconvenience. Is it worth it or not? The latter group includes Rockwell plates. One costs $10.
Hummel Figurines
These adorable porcelain figurines were one of America’s most popular collectibles. The Hummel Figurines originated in Germany in 1935, and the porcelain models were inspired by the artistic designs of Maria Hummel, a German nun.

Throughout the 20th century, the Goebel company produced the figurines. People would pay $5,000 to get their hands on an original. But then Goebel let the floodgates open, and there were far too many. This is a classic example of “treasure to trash.” On eBay, you can get one for a buck.
