Here are some old items that may be worth a lot of money today, so start looking around for these now!

Antique Cookie Jar
This might seem surprising, but antique cookie jars could earn you some serious dough, no pun intended. PBS’s Antiques Roadshow evaluator Reyne Hirsch can vouch for that. According to her, a vintage cookie jar in the shape of a famous cartoon character could earn you thousands of dollars. In August 2019, a Little Audrey jar was purchased on eBay for $3400…not too shabby!
