I've loaded the site with lots of new items.

Two new categories have been created, Metalware and Numismatics.

In the Metalware section I have added a couple of pewter bowls and a vase, not certainly collectibles per definition, but lovely items. A gilt candle holder made in Sweden has also been added to this category as well as to the Swedish Handicraft category. 

In the new Numismatics category, I have listed some Swedish coin-sets and a hand coined replica of a Swedish silver daler from 1542. In the sub-category Medals there are some silver and bronze medals commemorating the Swedish Royalties: Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, and Silvia, Queen of Sweden, and the Swedish Royal Wedding in 1976. There is also a medal commemorating the International Stamp Exhibition STOCKHOLMIA 74. This 1974 stamp exhibition is also commemorated in a plate by Danish Porcelain manufacturer Bing & Grøndahl. It's called Viking Ship.

A quite out of the ordinary, very large and retro-style ceramic sculpture made in USSR has been added to Figurines & Sculptures. Further a mug from Swedish Hackefors commemorating Swedish King Gustaf VI Adolf, two wonderful egg-cups in the gorgeous Kalevala series by Finnish Arabia and finally a Sylvanian Families / Calico Critters rowing boat with accessories.
