Oil Can,

I have had my collection insured under my home owners policy for over 15 years. In my opinion, the best company for collectibles insurance (in a home) is Chubb. This is based on reseach and at the recommendation of several friends who have spent their lives in the insurance business. Chubb makes it very easy and simple to add your collectibles to your home owners policy and I have heard that they are easy to deal with if you ever have a loss. Under my policy they do not even require and itemized listing-just an overall value. Off course an itemized listing is mandatory for the insured collector to keep on hand in case of a loss.
