A Beginner's Guide to Early Antiques is a reader-friendly series designed to help identify common antiques while exploring their purpose, history, and use in everyday life.

The APP Journal will highlight current discoveries, events, and happenings from across the primitive and antique world—think of it as "primitive news."

This issue is packed with new and exciting topics, including:

The Evolution of the Mouse Trap: T.C. Waln explores the history and ingenuity behind antique mouse traps, one of his favorite collecting categories.

Hidden Beneath the Surface: Historical artifact excavator Tom Askjem of Buxton, North Dakota, has spent a lifetime uncovering the past in places most people would never think to look, a pursuit that has led to the excavation of nearly 2,000 pits.

Young Entrepreneur Spotlight: At just 31 years old, Taylor Anderson brings a fresh, generational voice to the world of primitive antiques.

Artisan Spotlight: The folk art of Marie Morgan.

When a Home Run Becomes a Grand Slam: How a forgotten cupboard became the greatest antique find of David T. Smith's collecting career.

Antique Collecting Advice: The Wisdom of an Experienced 98-Year-Old: What Fritzi Harry's advice truly means in the world of collecting.

Horn Beams: Why the Unusual Name?Exploring the history behind one of early America's most intriguing household object

What Makes It a Texas Piece? Dawn Hodges shares how to differentiate Texas furniture from pieces of New England origin.

Don't wait any longer! The Fall 2026 issue is filled with remarkable homes, educational features, collecting stories, and antiques with histories waiting to be uncovered.
