Erich,
Yes, here in the UK these words are frequently used to describe collectable items pertaining to old kitchen furniture and utensils and those associated with the brewing and pub trade. A similar term being 'Railwayana' - of which I'm a small collector - these being genuine old collectable items relating in my case to British Railways in the days of steam haulage - here in the UK that's pre August 1968. Certain items of Railwayana can fetch serious money at auction, for example steam locomotive nameplates - needless to say these items are way out of my price range ! Even the once ubiquitous vitreous enamel station name plates known as Totems from the period 1948 to 1965 can fetch a few thousand pounds each.
