Spring has arrived, and so has a fresh issue of Kovels Antique Trader, packed with everything from fine art to fun finds. We’re diving into the Ohio Valley Military Society’s Show of Shows—the nation’s largest military collectibles event and a must-see gathering for historians, dealers, and collectors alike. You'll also find a spotlight on a recent Sotheby’s sale featuring stunning Tiffany decorative art glass and lamps from the Doros collection.

Jewelry lovers will want to take a closer look at Pam Siegel’s look at charming Trifari figural brooches, while fine art fans can explore the stunning botanical works of Rory McEwen. And for a lighter touch, Eric Bradley spills the beans on his not-so-secret obsession with thrifting—a reminder that the thrill of the hunt never fades.

This May issue also marks a milestone: Kele Johnson steps in as the new editor. Inside, you'll find her first From the Editor column, where she reflects on Paul's encouragement and her path to Antique Trader, plus a special tribute feature, The Man, The Myth, The Legendary Deadline Wrangler, packed with memories and laughter from those lucky enough to work alongside Paul Kennedy.

Of course, you’ll also find regular favorites like auction sales reports and the always-popular Collector’s Gallery. No matter what you collect, there's something inside to spark your next great find.
