PICTURES OF OUR COLLECTION

John and Joanna got interested in collecting Bossons after John’s father passed away in 1993 and they found his collection of 50 pieces, boxed in the attic. As a child, John remembered the faces staring down at him from his parents’ walls. While his father managed to convince his wife to let him use the extra money he earned as a union shop steward to purchase the Bossons, his mom never really liked them. "Mom thought they were ugly and she didn’t think they matched her décor. When John came across the boxes in the attic, it was Joanna who convinced him to take the collection home as a way to remember his dad. From the original 50 his father had collected, the Cassidy’s collection has now reached 500-plus pieces which is displayed all in one room. The characterizations are centered on themes such as Men of the Deserts, Mountains, and Seas – The Americans – Shakespearean Characters – The Dickens Collection – The Seafarers – The Europeans – Regal and Traditional – The Victorians – The Military Series and the Country-side Collection.
