Good morning.
I buy the majority of my iron from scrappers. In doing so I pick up several foreign made pieces for every American made collectible piece I get. Most of the foreign made stuff, stuff from Taiwan, Korea or China I quickly clean and flip at the swap meet for cheap. I have come across some Japanese made pieces that appear to have some age to them. Pre WW2 I’m guessing. I’m wondering if there is any collectible value to older foreign made pieces.
