Collum Ants.10.2009_SEA

When buying antique furniture, it’s important to decide what you feel is an antique. How old does an item need to be for you to consider it truly antique? For some, as long as the piece is older than they are, it’s “vintage”. There are those who feel vintage is antique. Others use the 100-year criterion. This was established in the 1930s by Congress. At that time, anything 100 years old could be imported without incurring excise tax. It was fine in

the 1930s. One hundred years at that time meant an antique had been made before 1830. For me and many other serious antiques collectors and dealers, the cut-off date should be before 1850, preferably before 1830. However, what really matters is what you are comfortable with. It’s your money when you buy, and, you’ll be living with the item. After you decide what age period you like, next familiarize yourself with what the pieces at that time should look like. Learn the difference between hand- and machine-cut dovetails. Then you’ll have an idea of the age of a case piece with dovetailed drawers. Machine dovetails were being used by the mid- to late-1800s. Acquaint yourself with the marks certain tools make, especially power tools. Then remember when they

MultI-dealer shOPWith wide variety and great reviews!

There's an old saying about St. Petersburg, Fla.; People who live there love it; businesses that located there stay; and visitors who go there to shop and play want to come back again and again. How true! St. Petersburg and Pinellas Coun-ty offer an unequaled environment for work and play. Wonderful weather and miles of sandy beaches make it a magnet for people worldwide.

St. Petersburg's two strongest selling points are sunshine and shopping. The former can be enjoyed virtually year-round; the latter comes in the form of malls, factory outlet stores, discount chains, specialty shops, membership warehouses, and —oh, yes— a cavalcade of wonderful antiques and collectibles stores. The advertisers on this page offer a taste of what we mean.

Getting to St. Petersburg isn't hard to do. The city's major thoroughfare is I-275, which runs north and south and connects to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and Man-atee County (another mecca for shoppers on the antique trail). I-275 also connects with 1-4 going east to Orlando from Tampa and I-75 heading north. U.S. 19 is an important north-south link that runs the length of the county.

A visit to St. Petersburg will leave you wanting more, no matter how long you stay. And it's easy to fan out and explore. Tampa — a city with it's own identity, cultural pulse and antiques and collectibles shops—is right next door. And Orlando, with its many theme parks, is a short drive away. Don't you think it's time to visit, vacation and shop in St. Petersburg? It's truly the Jewel of Florida's Gulf Coast!

came into use. Also, be aware that country pieces might look older than urban-made items because the city furniture makers often had the latest new tools and equipment. Country-made items often look 20 years older than they actually are. This is when you look at hardware and see some designs that don’t quite work together. A country woodworker could have been trying to create something he had seen in the city but didn’t have the right tools or the correct details. He might have come up with a very strange combination. Always look for the latest design on an item in order to date it. Along with designs and tool marks, know your woods. This can save you money and mistakes. For instance, I recently saw a late 1800s English Windsor chair for sale in a co-op. But, the tag said, “American Windsor, made in Pennsylvania, dated 1915,” along with a rather high price. The dealer showing it had no other furniture in her booth. I don’t know where she had gotten the information that was written on the tag. First, the seat was the “usual” English Yew wood—here’s where knowing what woods ought to be used really pays off. The stretcher arrangement was typically English. It was a brace-back, bowback from about 1880-1890. On the underside of the seat was a series of numbers. I’m not sure how she came up with the 1915 date. I didn’t see those numbers. There were the remnants of a label on the underside. It wasn’t possible to read anything from it. However, the size and so on made me think of a shipping label, possibly when it was shipped from England. These chairs are very comfortable. I know several people who use them in their eat-in kitchens. This chair didn’t have arms, although many do. As long as you knew what this chair really was, it could have been a nice addition to a home full of country furniture. But it wasn’t what the tag indicated. That’s why you, as a buyer, need to know what you’re examining when antiquing.

I was asked to look at an Empire table that needed a little work. When I saw it, I felt bad for the owner. She was told it was a period Empire stand. Actually, it was from the mid-1900s, not the early 1800s. The owner had bought it at a co-op. She likes it for its design, color and size. But she thought she was buying an antique because she was told it was. This isn’t a person who is going to be collecting antiques. However, as she said, when she buys something, she wants to know the truth. As I explained to her, there’s a good chance the seller didn’t know what it was. She asked how to protect herself when buying furniture. I suggested that if she wanted antiques, she should hire someone who knows to advise her on buying trips. When she asked me how I knew it wasn’t an Empire period piece, I showed her several things. The shape of the top was oval. Although it was only about 36 inches long by 20 inches wide, there were two heavy pedestals. Attached to these were strange-looking “feet”. Even though many Empire pieces are rather bulky, the designs usually work together. This top looked like it had been put on the wrong base. I looked closely. The top and base had been made together. This should have been a red flag for her, only because it simply did not look right. The wood was maple, a wood I wouldn’t expect to see used for an Empire stand. The top was made from three pieces. If this had been a period stand, the top should have been one piece of wood, at most two. Another red flag was this stand was 24 inches high. This seemed too low for a stand, but too high for a coffee table. Anyway, there were no coffee tables during the Empire period, since that period in America was in the early 1800s up to about 1840 in some areas. This piece was sort of an Empire-style item. I removed the drawer to show her several things that “told” me it was a 20th century creation. The bottom was one-quarter inch plywood. The corner joints were modern machine-made,


not dovetails. Except for the plywood, all of the drawer wood was maple. If this had been a period drawer, the sides and back would have been made from an inexpensive wood such as pine or poplar. And, of course, the bottom would not have been plywood! She said she now knows about her stand. She just hopes she’ll look more closely the next time. I was asked to examine some things at a local auction house. One piece was listed as a child’s desk. It was cute and indeed looked like a child could use it as a desk. However, it was not as listed. Originally, it had been a small counter desk. The lid was hinged about three inches in from the rear. With a cross light, I could see hundreds of letters and numbers indented into the soft pine lid. There was a low gallery at the rear and a short piece of gallery on each side. The case had been built with a slant. It was a typical counter desk. At some point, a sawbuck-type base had been added. It was made from maple, while the desk itself was pine. The base was held together by modern nails and secured to the desk with modern screws. The corners of the desk body were joined together by hand cut dovetails, while the bottom was held in place with cut nails from the early 1800s. Also, the bottom showed lots of wear. This wouldn’t have happened if the desk originally had been built with a base. Someone had added the base. Now, it was being offered as a child’s desk. It didn’t take much to see what this really was. I’m surprised it was being offered at that auction house. Someone didn’t look very closely when he listed the items to be sold. In the past year, I’ve looked at four small, hanging corner cupboards. I’ve seen only one that was “right”. Recently, I examined another. It was being sold as a “small cherry corner cupboard, circa 1800.” This piece had been made from wood

that wasn’t even a tree in 1800, probably not even in 1900! I don’t know where some people get the dates of the items they want to sell. The wood in this small cupboard had no flaws. The back was plywood. The inside had been painted a soft light blue. The exterior was a very shiny “natural” cherry color. The wood was cherry, but everything had been stained, even the back. The turn knob used to keep the door closed showed no wear. I don’t know how old this piece truly was. However, it looked like it had been made very recently. When looking at any of the above items, one of the most important things is the details. But in my case, with over 50 years of looking at antique furniture, learning to know what you should see when you examine something is a big help. The more you know, the better off you should be when looking at antiques. Be careful. Sometimes, a little knowledge can get you in a lot of trouble. Never take anything for granted, and don’t assume anything. If you aren’t sure about what you’re looking for, get someone to help you. When buying, always get a detailed sales slip. Have all of the information written down on the slip. Then, if you find the information is wrong, you probably will have some recourse. However, it’s better to avoid pieces that aren’t “right”. So, look at all of the details, and either know what you’re looking for or get help. -------------------- Lew Larason is the author of: Buying Antique Furniture; Baskets – Baskets – Baskets: An Advisory for Collectors; and The Basket Collector’s Book.

2013 a busy year for Norman Rockwell This past year was a busy one for Norman Rockwell (1894-1978), the iconic artist whose heartwarming depictions of everyday American life graced the cover of The Saturday Evening Post more than 300 times. First came the news that Rockwell’s 1951 painting Saying Grace had sold at Sotheby’s for a staggering $46 million. It was the most ever paid for a work by the artist. Two other Rockwells also did well in the auction: The Gossips, done in 1948 ($8.45 million) and Walking to Church, from 1953 ($3.245 million). But another piece of news wasn’t so celebratory. In

November, a biography of Rockwell, written by Deborah Solomon and titled, American Mirror: The Life and Art of Norman Rockwell, was released. In the book, Solomon suggested that Rockwell was lonely, moody, depressed and a closeted homosexual. In a retaliatory statement, the Rockwell Family Agency said it had found at least 96 factual errors in the book. But the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass. (the artist’s hometown) officially endorsed the book. USPS issues an ‘uninverted’ Jenny Probably the most famous stamp error in U.S. history is the1918 24-cent Curtiss Jenny airmail stamp that depicted an airplane flying upside down. One sheet of 100 stamps was sold to the public and examples are so rare and valuable that a single stamp sold in 2007 for $977,500. Around holiday season, the United States Postal Service, in an effort to draw more people into stamp collecting, randomly inserted 100 “un-inverted” Jenny stamp sheets among a reissue of 2.2 million inverted Jenny stamp sheets distributed nationwide. Unique to the $2 stamp issuance, all of the sheets were individually wrapped in sealed envelopes, to recreate the excitement of finding an inverted Jenny (and to avoid the possibility of discovering a corrected Jenny prior to purchase). So far, three of the sheets are known to have been sold. One was to Art Van Rijn, who walked into the Waverly (N.Y.) post office and asked to buy five sheets. The clerk, Betty Gable, suggested he buy up all they had – 45 sheets – and that’s what he did. The very last sheet in the pile was the prize.

All of Elvis’s acoustic guitars being rehabbed All of the acoustic guitars in Elvis Presley’s collection – around 20 instruments – are about to be repaired, restored and documented. The guitars are all at Graceland, in Memphis, and the man chosen for the rehab work is Scott Baxendale of Athens, Ga. Baxendale has experience maintaining Roy Acuff’s guitar collection and has converted many antique 1940s Harmony guitars for Nashville musicians. He was selected by Michael Lockwood, who has been married to Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis’s daughter, since 2006. How valuable is the collection? Consider this: Bob Dylan’s Newport Folk Festival sunburst Fender Stratocaster recently sold at auction for just under $1 million, and Baxendale thinks Elvis’s 1956 Gibson J200 – the one The King played in King Creole and other movies – could easily fetch ten times that amount. And that’s just one guitar. Baxendale will be doing all of the rehabbing on-site, at Graceland. A work station has been set up in a warehouse for that purpose. The work will take up a good bit of 2014.

Han Solo’s blaster gun brings $200,000

A battered prop blaster used in two of the original Star Wars movies – Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi – sold for $200,000 at an auction held by California-based Profiles in History. The pistol isn’t the one Harrison Ford used in A New Hope (no one knows where that gun even is). Rather, it’s the one from the scene where Han Solo shot at Darth Vader in Cloud City, only to have Vader deflect the blasts and grab the blaster from a distance. Profiles in History had hoped the prop would realize $300,000. The pistol (like many weapon props in the Star Wars films) was modeled after a World War II-era original. In this case, the blaster was based on a German Mauser C96 semi-automatic pistol (only without the shoulder stock). Profiles in History said it wasn’t sure, but it thought the gun might have been the blaster used (albeit briefly) by Mark Hamill, as Luke Skywalker, in the scene where he enters Cloud City. In 2005, some of the light saber props used in the earlier Star Wars films sold for a quite reasonable $60,000 each. Beanie Babies founder sentenced to probation Ty Warner, the 69-year-old founder of Beanie Babies, the collectible plush toys, has been sentenced in federal court to two years of probation and ordered to pay a civil penalty of almost $53.6

Name This Famous Person: Carl Sandberg By Mike McLeod

Remember Carl Sandberg from English class at school? The poet Carl Sandberg was identified by: Julie Kimbrell of the Old School Antique Mall in Sylva, N.C.; Jim Pruett of Eastbrook Flea Market in Montgomery, Ala.; Teresa P. Bland; Scott and Carolyn Brown of Memories Flea An’Tique Mall in Prattville, Ala.; Ted Carlton of Utah; Maureen Ouellette; Gene Sorbo of St. Petersburg, Fla. (no relation to Kevin “Hercules” Sorbo); Randy Chase of The Antique Chasers. On Jan. 6, 1878 in Galesburg, Ill., Carl Sandberg could have been born with the name of Carl Johnson, but his emigrant Swedish parents, August and Clara Johnson, previously changed their names to Sandberg. August felt there were too many Johnsons in his railroading profession so he changed the family name to avoid confusion. Young Carl was only educated through the eighth grade before he had to leave school and go to work. He never graduated from college, although he attended, but he did receive three honorary degrees from colleges during his lifetime. In addition, he had several

schools named after him. Carl worked as a shoeshine boy, porter, milk wagon driver, bricklayer, hotel servant, coal heaver, hired hand on a wheat farm, ice harvester and a salesman of pictures for stereoscopes. He served briefly in the army in the Spanish-American War in Puerto Rico but never saw battle. He was also a hobo for a while, riding the rails and collecting stories and songs. Some of those folksongs ended up in his book, The American Songbag, published in 1927, and Sandberg performed them while playing the guitar or banjo at recitals or lectures. There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud. Despite his formal 8th grade education, in his lifetime, Sandberg won three Pulitzer Prizes and a Grammy. Two of his Pulitzers were for poetry (The Complete Poems of Carl Sandburg and Corn Huskers), and the third was in 1940 for his four-volume book, Abraham Lincoln: The War Years. (This was preceded by his two-volume book, Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years.) The Grammy was awarded to him in 1959 for Best Performance of Spoken Word for reading Lincoln Portrait by Aaron Copland. Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep. Due to his travels around the country and seeing the plight of the poor and laborers, Sandburg joined the Social Democratic Party, and he also wrote brochures, articles, and speeches for the International Workers World. He met his future wife Lilian Steichen at a Social Democratic Party office in 1907, and they later had three daughters together. A politician should have three hats. One for throwing into the ring, one for talking through, and one for pulling rabbits out of if elected. Carl Sandberg’s non-rhyming, meter-less, free-verse style of poetry was unsettling to many initially. Was it a story, or was it poetry? In the essay, “The Music of Poetry,” poet T.S. Eliot once wrote: “No verse is free for the man who

wants to do a good job.” Even so, Carl Sandberg won over the hearts and minds of most people, and he is regarded as an American treasure. In 1945, he and his family moved to a farm in Flat Rock, N.C., so his wife could better raise her prize-winning milk goats. He created much of his literary legacy there, and he passed away on July 22, 1967 of natural causes.

Condition, Condition, Condition: How to Value Your Old Sports Card/Memorabilia Collection by Michael Osacky

We have heard it so many times when buying a home: location, location, location. Similar verbiage applies when valuing that vintage memorabilia collection from your childhood days. Unfortunately, sentimental value does not increase the value, but it does make for a good story. I always look for collections that have a story to tell because these

stories’ are quickly leaving us. One of my favorite stories came from an older gentleman whose father played for the Yankees several decades ago. The house was being sold and all the artifacts were being unearthed from the attic. The man wanted an appraisal value for the items, which included player rings from the World Series, team-signed photographs and baseball cards. Listed below is the advice I provided to him. 1. Autographs: Need to have a trusted third party authenticate the items. (I provided him with three of the best so he could make the correct decision.) I also advised him that the quality and darkness of the autographs were very important. Signatures tend to fade if left in sunlight, which will affect value. Generally, autographs on baseballs, bats and jerseys are worth more than autographs on cards or baseballs. 2. Rings: I use a loupe to look at the diamond, gold and overall condition of the ring. Be on the lookout for diamonds being switched out for cubic zirconias. In this specific case, the diamond was authentic, and rings were rarely worn. The player didn’t like to wear rings. He only wore them on VIP occasions such as Hall of Fame Museum visits, charity fundraisers and family dinners. Rings that don’t show lots of wear are worth more because they have fewer scratches on them. 3. Cards: Are the cards trimmed? Many people trim cards to have sharp corners. I measured every card from every year to make sure the cards were genuine. Many more important factors must be looked at to determine the ultimate value of the card:

a. Paper loss? b. Rookie card? c. Centering d. Creasing e. Year of the card (Most cards from 1970-present are virtually worthless.)

I live in central Virginia and recently found a Boyle, Gamble and McAfee bayonet handle. The blade is missing. I was wondering if I could possibly get some additional information about the handle. JS: What a rare and interesting relic you dug up. This brass Bowie-bayonet handle with the cast name of the firm “Boyle, Gamble & MacFee Richmond VA” is the second excavated handle I have seen. There is another in the George Ray collection now owned by the Atlanta History Center. Boyle, Gamble & MacFee patented a brass bayonet adapter in 1861 that saw wide use during the Civil War, and they also made a few saber bayonets and Bowie bayonets, both utilizing the brass handle you found. Pictured here is a complete Bowie-bayonet in my book, Confederate Bowie Knives, with my co-authors Jack Melton and Josh Phillips. There are probably less than 10 complete examples of either version of the Boyle, Gamble & MacFee, Richmond, VA, bayonet. These products, along with other edged weapons made by this Richmond, Virginia, firm, and a detailed history of the firm can be found either in Bill Albaugh’s books on Confederate swords or in my book on Bowie knives mentioned above.

Complete versions of this knife or bayonet sell for around $10,000. Your relic handle is missing the muzzle ring, but the markings are still very good, and I would guess it would still sell for $500-$1,000.

Just wondering if these items have much value. JS: Your buttons, I hate to tell you, all appear to be 20th century reproductions, though apparently aged to look dug up. If original, there are several rare examples that sell for several thousand dollars each, but facsimiles are only valued at a few dollars each.

I’ve enclosed a picture of some Civil War items I have. I would like to know what they are and their value. The holster is stamped “Rock Island Arsenal.” It has a copper or brass shield at the top of it. The small cutter has the name J. English and Wm Dodds. The draw knife is brass and has the names AG Bacheloer and JW Stone and J Burghard. I assume that these

are the individuals’ names that used them. The ball flask is 2 1/2 lbs. and has 1 and 1 1/4 stamped in the snout. It has a hunting scene on it. Possibly could have been made by the Flask and Cap Company. I can’t find any identification on it. The pistol grip is a leather cutter and is stamped “Crawford Newark NJ.” The other brass flask I assume is a powder flask. It has no markings. The leather bucket I assume is a water bucket or feed bucket for a horse. It is stamped “US Cav.” Finally, there is a small pair of pliers with no markings. Your help

would be greatly appreciated. JS: Well, nothing in this group is Civil War, but the two leather items are from the American Indian Wars. The leather bucket marked “US CAV” was for either grain or water to feed a horse. The holster marked “Allegheny Arsenal” was attached to a saddle to secure a 45-70 carbine, circa 1875. Both of these items appear in nice, complete, sound condition and are typically priced in the market for about $200-$250 each. The two shotgun or fowler flasks are for powder (brass one) and shot (leather body) and were made from about 1850 through the 1870s, “American Flask & Cap Company” was possibly the maker. In solid very good condition as shown, this pair will typically be priced in the market for about $100 or so. The four tools appear to be leatherworking tools, if the maker marks you show are the makers. English & Dodd and Crawford are both well-known Newark, New Jersey, toolmakers, but I am not familiar with Bachelor, Stone and

Burkhard. The Crawford marked pistol-gripped tool is known as a “draw gauge,” and they typically sell for about $50 apiece. The two-handled brass tool I’m sure is a similar value, if not more. These two brass tools date to circa 1860. I believe Crawford was out of business prior to the Civil War. Antique tools are a very specialized market with their own group of dealers and auctions and probably should be researched more in depth if you are interested in them. _____________ John Sexton is an independent appraiser and expert of Civil War memorabilia.

million after pleading guilty to income tax evasion. The self-made billionaire, who came from a humble background and dropped out of college, was also ordered to perform 500 hours of community service, mentoring students at Leo High School in a poor neighborhood of Chicago. Warner has a listed net worth of about $2.6 billion. Beanie Babies made a big splash when they burst on the scene around 20 years ago. By the late 1990s, the small plush toys that were sold for $5-$7 each became wildly popular, with some collectors paying hundreds and even thousands of dollars for a rare character on the resale market. In 2000, a Peanut the Elephant Beanie Baby sold for a reported $3,000. But then the bottom fell out as the market became saturated with the toys. Today, Beanie Babies are often sold at auction in multiple lots for just a few dollars. Most silent films are gone forever The Library of Congress has released a report regarding the early days of movies, and the news isn’t good. Of the nearly 11,000 silent feature films made and distributed throughout the U.S. between 1912 and 1929, about 3,300 exist today, the report said. Of those 3,300, half are either incomplete or exist only in foreign versions or lower-quality formats (such as 16mm or

28mm). The study was titled, The Survival of American Silent Feature Films: 1912-1929. It was commissioned by the National Film Preservation Board. How could this have happened? Several factors are to blame: the deterioration of volatile nitrate stock, fire, the destruction of prints and negatives and simple negligence are a few. Films lost forever include: London After Midnight (1927),

starring Lon Chaney; The Great Gatsby (1926), starring Warner Baxter; and all four Clara Bow features made in 1928. The study found that of the 3,300 surviving films, about one-quarter was located outside the U.S. The country with the largest collection: the Czech Republic.

Judge orders Renoir returned to museum An original painting by the French artist Renoir purchased at a West Virginia flea market for $7 by Marcia Fuqua has been ordered returned to a museum. A judge has ruled that the painting – a

diminutive work, just 5.5 inches by 9 inches and titled, Paysage Bords de Seine, or Landscape on the Banks of the Seine – must be returned to the Baltimore Museum of Art, which reported it stolen in 1951. An auction of the painting, at the Potomack Company in Virginia, was called off. The history of the painting is as intriguing as the work itself. Renoir rendered it in the 1880s for his mistress, art historians believe. It was later purchased by the Paris art gallery Bernheim-Jeune, which sold it to a Renoir collector named Herbert May in 1926. Eleven years later, May’s ex-wife, Sadie May, loaned the painting to the Baltimore Museum of Art. After its theft in 1951, its whereabouts remained a mystery until Ms. Fuqua bought it at the flea market. Or did she? Her own brother has disputed her story.

By Mike McLeod and Deborah Abernethy $13,350 (35 bids): Beatles 1962 “Love Me Do” Parlophone 45 Signed by all Four Beatles! Very historic and beautiful signed original first issue “Love Me Do” red label, UK 45 signed on the label by all four Beatles on Oct. 6, 1962, exactly one day after the record was released. All have signed in dark blue ballpoint pen. Signed at Dawson’s Music Shop in

Widnes, England. Check out the image and note the difference between the signatures of their early career and just a few months later when they polished them up. Condition of the label is near mint. Vinyl is scuffy and about VG-, but that’s not that important with this one. No chips, no warps, no cracks. Please note that most all known signed examples of this 45 experienced lightened ink issues in the silver areas of the label. The ink did not take well and appears much lighter in those areas than the rest of the label. This particular example has had some enhancement professionally done only on the silver areas of Ringo’s signature and a minor part of John’s last name. Also the tip of one of Paul’s letters in his name. No other restoration has been performed at all to the rest of the label or any of the remaining signed script, which is about 80% of the autographs. This was done to enhance the visual impact of the autographs that were affected by the silver areas. Also note, the affected areas were still legible lightly, so it is not like they were blank there. I show this record before and after. I did not have the work performed; I simply took the record in and obtained all the proper information before listing it. This item will come with a letter of authenticity by Frank Caiazzo, the world’s leading autograph authority. It will also come with my letter of authenticity. (Photo: eBay seller perrydcox.) DBA: WOW, this is probably the one and only one of these. It is difficult to say if this was a good deal for the seller or a good deal for the buyer because there are no identical and few similar objects. This is the first record released by the Beatles, and with the signatures, it is extremely rare. The only way I can imagine that this would be worth less money is if our economy is so bad that almost nothing is holding value (or maybe after all Baby Boomers are dead!).


$2,761 (53 bids): Voltamp B&O Steeple Cab. Appears to be complete; wires are frayed and disconnected. Gears and motor turn freely and looks great. (Photo: eBay seller. Updog309.) DBA: These trains are very collectible. Voltamp made the first toy train that operated on ordinary household electricity instead of batteries. These trains were made for the two-inch gauge metal tracks. The actual steeple cab was developed in America and first released around 1900. It offered better crash protection for the crew, along with good visibility. The seller got a very good deal. A Voltamp trolley car was sold on eBay on Dec. 22 for $12,380.

$4,494 (60 bids): Barn Find: 1917 “Uncle Same Wants You,” Flagg, unrestored, unhung poster. This iconic WWI poster is an original 1917 Flagg poster that was never restored, mounted or framed. There

is only one tear to the image area: a 1.2 x 1.7 inch on his sleeve with nothing missing. I’ve shown the worst edge wear and tear in close-up pictures, and I’ll describe the damage in detail: 2-inch tear at top center edge; 1.75-inch tear at bottom right center edge; 2-inch tear at bottom left center edge; bottom right corner area tears but only very tiny pieces missing on white area; top right corner area tears but only very tiny pieces of white missing. Overall size is 30 x 40 inches. Small print at bottom center says, “Leslie-Judge Co. N.Y.” Colors are bright and vivid, and paper is not brittle. Very rare to find this poster that has not been restored or mounted. Easy restoration and you will have a fine example for your home or business. I

recently found this poster rolled up with several other original WWI recruitment posters. (Photo: eBay seller smartfinds.) DBA: This is a high price for a WWII poster. Movie posters are the ones that typically sell for the highest sums of money. In checking WWII poster prices, it occurred to me that these posters are sold as reproductions, and many sites sell posters for several hundred dollars each. This may be the intended future use for this poster. Rights to reproduce are typically available for objects of this age so the reproduction rights make this poster a possible money maker in addition to the initial value. For someone with printing equipment and a viable print business, this would definitely be a good buy.

$1,226 (29 bids): Antique Victorian Aesthetic Bohemian Art Glass Gilt Enamel Bugs Dragon Tall Vase. Exquisite antique 19th century Bohemian cranberry or ruby art glass footed vase features a thick enamel allover pattern with insects, butterflies, flowers, a phoenix bird and a dragon. Applied gold gilt foliage and drips along the top covered in tiny hand painted enamel bugs. Vase has one sizable chip to the base, one smaller chip to the base; the

top has been ground down about one-eighth inch, minor wear to the gilding. Measures about 16 x 6 x 3 inches across top by 5 1/8 inches across base. Fresh out of a fine old estate! (Photo: eBay seller two-cool-dudes.)

DBA: Bohemian glass is considered to be from the area once called Bohemia but now is a part of the Czech Republic. This is very collectible glass. Another very collectible consideration is that the designs are from the Aesthetic Period. With

two or more collectible categories, the possibility for maintaining or increasing in value goes up. Given the decorations on this glass, but also considering the repaired and unrepaired damage, this is probably a more appropriate retail value. $1,777 (21 bids): Fifty Prosthetic Human Glass Eyes in Original Case Early 1900s. These are blue shell right. There are 16 thin and 34 thick. The case locks nicely. (Photo: eBay seller fishinplug.)

DBA: Coming from a decorative design background, I was unaware of collectors of this type of object. I would guess that people with a scientific interest in eye prosthetics would have an interest. I have never seen a collection of eyes in anyone’s home. In doing a little research, I have discovered that most prosthetics today are plastic rather than glass, so these have no use in that way. Further research showed individual glass eyes for use in mannequins are selling for around $200 each, so 50 glass

eyes would retail for around $10,000. So for someone with a use for these, it was a very good buy. ------------ Deborah Abernethy is a certified appraiser with the International Association of Appraisers.

Name This Famous Antique by Mike McLeod

Sherry Blanton, Scott and Carolyn Brown of Memories Flea An’Tique Mall in Prattville, Ala., Jim Pruett of Eastbrook Flea Market in Montgomery, Ala., and Ted Carlton of Utah, and Sherron Lawson, Roswell Ga., correctly identified Abraham Lincoln’s hat, a prized possession of the Smithsonian. President Lincoln’s hat size was 7 1/8, and his stovepipe hat added another seven or eight inches to his 6-foot 4-inch height. Even without the hat, he overshadowed the average man of his day by nine or ten inches. With it on, he appeared to be a giant. “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.” It is said that Lincoln kept papers in his hat since it was so large. This stovepipe hat held by the Smithsonian is the

one Pres. Lincoln wore to Ford’s Theater on April 14, 1865. It was afterwards given to the War Department and then to the U.S. Patent Office and finally to the Smithsonian. Thinking it might cause an uproar or draw massive crowds if displayed, Smithsonian Secretary Joseph Henry had the President’s hat stored in the basement. There it remained until 1893 when it was loaned out for a Lincoln memorial exhibit. President Lincoln wrapped a mourning band around his hat in memory of his son Willie (William Wallace) who died on Feb. 20, 1862, probably from typhoid after drinking infected water. Their son’s death caused both parents deep sorrow as evidenced by the silk mourning band remaining on the hat for three years until the President’s own death. Willie was the Lincoln’s second son to die young. Eddie died Eddie 12 years before on Feb. 1, 1850, about a month before his fourth birthday. Eddie’s death has been attributed to tuberculosis or thyroid cancer. “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” Abraham Lincoln’s hat became an icon for the President, and it still is today. In fact, it was too recognizable. Once, a would-be assassin shot a stovepipe hat off the President’s head while he was riding a horse across the countryside near the White House. President Abraham Lincoln did not need a stovepipe hat to stand tall in his life, but his has become the symbol of all he stood for. ------------------- Can you name this famous antique?

Book of Women’s Hats Is Happy Parade of Them

by Robert Reed The newly published book about women’s vintage hats turns out to be a happy parade of them, covering nearly a century. Decades of Hats: 1900s To The 1970s by Sue Nightingale is

as delightful as it is resourceful. Packed in the pages are all manner of berets, bonnets, caps, derbies, sailor-types, and even turbans. Because all of the well-reproduced illustrations were first published in vintage magazines and mail-order catalogs, there are some interesting retail prices. In 1910, for example, ladies could purchase a Mexican palm hat for 50 cents or a “genuine” Panama coarse-weave hat for one dollar. “This book was put together as visual eye candy for the hat lover, as well as to provide an invaluable resource for costumers and collectors,” wrote the author Sue Nightingale. “It is presented chronologically with commentary to include the reader’s own conclusions as to fads, fancies, construction, and dating.”

Consequently, the book is rich in contemporary resources like the early issues of Sears, Roebuck and Company catalogs, Montgomery Ward catalogs, fetching issues of Modern Priscilla Magazine and similar long-ago publications. Chapters in this rewarding volume are divided into historical areas as noted. They include the 1870s through 1919, the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and finally the 1960s and early 1970s. Also included is an index of women’s hat styles. All together, the book features a couple of thousand ladies fashionable bonnets and such which have adorned charming female heads for at least 100 years. It is a true value in the world of fashion collectibles today. Nightingale has been a collector, dealer, researcher and sort of women’s hat detective for many years. Decades of Hats: 1900s To the 1970s by Sue Nightingale, soft cover, 302 illustrated advertisements, 144 pages, $29.99 plus shipping from Schiffer Publishing, www.schifferbooks.com. ---------- Book reviews by Robert Reed, Antique and Collectible News Service, P.O.

From royalty to Downtown Abbey, to the Augustus Heisey mansion, to the homes of many Americans, centuries of beautiful glass items have been produced for men and women to use and enjoy in their bedrooms and bath. Gentlemen started their day with a shaving brush lathered in a handled mug, a soap dish for washing, and that just-right size toothbrush holder for that all-important item. He often had a water jug or pitcher with a tumbler set on a tray nearby. Depending on his status, he could have a cologne bottle, a covered cigar jar or cigarette holder, matchbox and candlestick on another tray in his dressing room. Ladies continued to be much more fashionable in their boudoir arrangements. A tray with tumbler, water tankard, matchbox and candleholder were essential bedside items. However, it was the boudoir dressing table where beauty took center stage. Perfumes, colognes and lavender jars were stunning ways to display her favorite fragrances. Puff boxes, ring holders, trinket boxes and a hair receiver might round out

another tray. A vase or handled basket held her favorite flowers. Molded, patterned, cut or etched and occasionally in color, many of these pieces will bestow the royal treatment you so deserve. When all is said and done, your home is your sanctuary. When preparing for any event inside or outside your home, one must have essential items in their boudoir and bath to proceed with their day. Ladies have always found a way to present themselves in the best way possible, and gentlemen have followed suit. Shouldn’t you treat yourself to the luxury of beautiful, antique glassware to showcase your requisite and indispensable products? And what about entertaining? What a great time to set the most welcoming table for your guests. A lovely table can start conversations and inquiries of “Where did you get this?” Also, food always looks better when served with beautiful glassware. Everyone appreciates that little extra effort we put forth, for ourselves and for our family and friends. No matter the reason nor the occasion, you deserve to start feeling great right away. Heisey glassware can bring sparkles to your eyes! “Feel Like Royalty,” and pick up your favorites at the 41st Annual All-Heisey Glass Show and Sale, Sat. March 15, 10 am-5 pm and Sun. March 16, 11 am-4 pm at the Annandale Volunteer Fire Dept./Ossian Hall, 7128 Columbia Pike, Annandale, Va. Visit www.natcapheisey.org for a discount show card and more information.

porcelain. Maryland dealer Pamela Watson-Walker, one of ten antique and estate jewelers who exhibit, offers an exquisite collection of gold objects, pearls, and estate pieces. For some, the real treasure and bargain hunting begins with the 150 outside exhibitors who set up on the field between the Expo Hall and the Barns. Here, one can find just about anything from 18th century furniture to mid-century modern collectibles. All exhibitors at the Shenandoah Antiques Expo are registered dealers in their respective states and have reputations for honesty and integrity.

Antiques & Collectibles National Association Announces Educational Seminar & Trade Show for 2014 The Antiques & Collectibles National Association owners Mike and Angie Becker have announced the scheduling of the Association’s next educational seminar and trade show in Austin, Texas, on Sept. 28-30, 2014, for antiques and collectibles- related shop owners, mall owners, mall and show dealers, estate sale dealers, auctioneers, show promoters and individual collectors. The Holiday Inn Austin Midtown will be used as home base. Two full days based on the theme “What’s Next?” will be packed with educational classes, networking opportunities, and a trade show. The keynote will be delivered by Sherre L. DeMao, founder of SLD Unlimited Biz Growth, Inc., a full-service marketing, branding and operational strategy firm. Breakout sessions will be led by: Eric Bradley – PR at Heritage Auctions; Randy and Debbie Coe – Coe’s Mercantile; Julie Hall – The Estate Lady, LLC & ASEL; Wayne Jordan – auctioneer, certified property appraiser and accredited business broker; Bill and Carol Kearney and Christine Saltzman – Cover Your Assets; Sherre DeMao; Shannon Quimby – DIYer, designer and television personality; and Diana Sanders Cinamon – personal property appraiser, educator and gemologist. The event will close on Tuesday evening with a dinner followed by the always popular auction. Attendees are asked to bring an antique and/or collectible to be donated for the auction. (A receipt for tax purposes will be provided). It is always interesting and fun to see new items and learn a bit more history.

These dates and Austin were chosen due to the proximity to the world renowned 20+ antique shows in Round Top, Texas. For those dealers who have never had a chance to check out the Round Top shows, this is a way they can make one trip and do two worthwhile events.

Miami National Antique Show and The Armory Antique Show Both Report Record Sales U.S. Antique Shows, the world’s leading producer of indoor antique shows, recently hosted the inaugural year of two fantastic antique shows: the Miami National Antique Show in Miami and The Armory Antique Show in New York City, the weekend of Jan. 24-26. “This year’s shows both reported stellar sales, both between dealers and attendees that travelled far and wide to come. With the first year producing these events behind us, we’ve discovered ways to grow and improve for the upcoming years. The attendee experience is always at the forefront of our minds, and we plan to explore many efforts that will enhance their time at our shows,” says Fair Development Director Andrea Canady. The Miami National Antique Show is one of the longest-running antique events in south Florida during the winter season. Held at the Miami Airport Convention Center, the event presented more than 100 well-established dealers with a wide array of art, furnishings, home décor and jewelry. U.S. Antique Shows acquired the show from Dolphin Promotions in early 2013. Stephen Schwartz of Stephen’s Antiques, whose been doing business at the Miami National Antique Show for over a decade, is excited U.S. Antique Shows is now at the helm of this well recognized Miami-based show. “We’re extremely pleased that U.S. Antique Shows now produces the Miami National Antique Show. We feel it needs a fresh start with the new, fantastic promotional efforts this

company brings to every event. As producers of the largest indoor antique show, The Original Miami Beach Antique Show, it serves as a clear advantage for the Miami National Antique Show.” Schwartz continues, “For us, this two-week show combination in Miami and Miami Beach is a major portion of our year’s revenue. We believe it’s truly the hub of antique business in America and brings together dealers from all over the world. It’s very exciting. There’s nothing else like it!” Also running concurrently that same weekend was The Armory Antique Show at the 69th Regiment Armory. Held during the 2014 New York City’s Antiques Week, the show highlighted compelling and affordable collections from distinguished dealers with 20-plus years’ experience selling antiques. U.S. Antique Shows acquired the show in May 2013 from Stella Show Management. “We had our best Armory show we’ve ever had, “says Christopher English of Antediluvian Antiques & Curiosities. “I really like The Armory Antique Show in particular because it’s a smaller show with high quality dealers and price points that are attractive to a wide variety of shoppers. Its eclectic merchandise brings returning attendees back year after year and it’s a perfect size for three days.” U.S. Antique Shows now produces nine shows nationally. The next shows scheduled are the LA Antique Jewelry & Watch Show, March 21-23 at the Hyatt Regency, and the Pier Antique Show, March 29-30 at Pier 94.

Fine Art and Chinese Antiques Headline Elite Decorative Arts Auction, March 15-16

Original works by major listed artists such as Willem de Kooning, Chaim Soutine and Angel Botello, plus Chinese carved ivory pieces and other Asian antiques, will headline a 550-lot auction planned for March 15-16 by Elite Decorative Arts, at the firm’s gallery in the Quantum Town Center, located at 1034 Gateway Boulevard (Stes. 106-109) in Boynton Beach, Fla. The Saturday, March 15 session, comprising 311 lots, will feature fine Chinese carvings and works of art. The Sunday, March 16 session (240 lots) will contain fine decorative arts and Asian works. Start times both days will be 1 p.m. (EST). Internet bidding will be facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Telephone and absentee bids will also be accepted. An original oil painting on cardstock board by the Russian-born French painter Chaim Soutine (1893-1943) titled, Road to the Village, is expected to hit $60,000-$80,000. The signed painting, depicting a village scene, measures 24 inches by 18

inches and is mounted in a wood frame. Soutine made major contributions to the Expressionist movement while living in Paris. Certain to challenge the Soutine work for top lot of the sale is an oil-on-paper painting by the Dutch-American artist Willem de Kooning (1904-1997). The diminutive abstract oil (titled, fitting enough, Abstraction) is 9.75 inches by 12.75 inches. It is signed and framed and should sell for $50,000-$70,000. De Kooning was an Abstract Expressionist and New York School painter. Auction previews will be held on Friday, March 14, from 11-5; Saturday, March 15, from 11 a.m. until the first gavel falls at 1 p.m.; and Sunday, March 16, also from 11 a.m.-1.p.m. Elite Decorative Arts is currently accepting consignments for its April 13th Decorative Arts Auction.
