Small Business Saturday is a way for people to sup-port small businesses that are a large part of our commu-nity. Homestead Antique Mall, Tennyson Street Ware-
house and My Favorite Things are three such business-es that offer one of a kind and unique items.
Homestead Antique Mall, located at 6530Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada has over 70 of Denver'sfinest dealers with a wide variety of antiques and col-lectibles.
My Favorite Things, at 8797 West Colfax Ave inLakewood specializes in home decor, "made in Col-
orado" items, and great holiday selections.Tennyson Street Warehouse, and new to our an-
tique community, is at 5330 Tennyson with over 4,000square feet of a wide selection of vintage linens andantique clothing as well as a wide variety of antiquesand collectibles.
So if you are looking for antiques, ''made in Col-orado" merchandise, home decor, or for that specialtreasure, these small businesses can give you a friend-ly environment in which to shop.
Supporting small businesses boosts our local econ-omy and is a way to find unusual and unique items foryour home or as gifts. All small businesses greatly ap-preciate your patronage.
Small Business Saturday is an American shoppingholiday held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving dur-ing one of the busiest shopping periods of the year.
First observed in Roslindale Village, Massachu-setts on November 27, 2010, it is a counterpart toBlack Friday and Cyber Monday, which feature bigbox retail and e-commerce stores respectively. By con-trast, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday
shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses thatare small and local. Small Business Saturday is a reg-istered trademark of American Express corporation.
The first event was sponsored by American Ex-press, in partnership with the non-profit National Trustfor Historic Preservation, Boston Mayor Thomas M.Menino, and Roslindale Village Main Street. In 2010,the holiday was promoted by American Express via anationwide radio and television advertising campaign.That year Amex bought advertising inventory on Face-book, which it in turn gave to its small merchant ac-count holders, and also gave rebates to new customersto promote the event.
American Express publicized the initiative usingsocial media, advertising, and public relations. Manylocal politicians and small business groups in the Unit-ed States issued proclamations concerning the cam-paign, which generated more than one million Face-book "like" registrations and nearly 30,000 tweetsunder the Twitter hashtags #smallbusinesssaturday and#smallbizsaturday.

Thomas Jefferson said,"That which we elect to sur-round ourselves with becomes the museum of our soul andthe archives of our experience." That quote was probablyrelated to antiques and he was talking to Sally Starr be-cause she took his words to heart and shaped her lifearound them. Sally loved antiques since she was threeyears old when her mother got her started and they con-tinued antiquing together throughout her mother's life. Shegrew up in Norfolk, Virginia and went to school at OldDominion University and lived in Richmond after she wasmarried. Her older brother went to school in Char-lottesville at the University of Virginia and visiting him iswhen she became a Jeffersonian, studying everythingabout Jefferson, from his architecture to his presidency.She is still devoted to those studies today and is a mem-ber of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art whichwas founded in New York.
While her career started in Richmond where she wasbrought up, we know Sally from Denver where she hasbeen selling antiques for twenty-five years. Before thatshe sold in Chicago, Huston and Jacksonville, Florida.Those years of experience have resulted in an expertise
and knowledge of American antiques that few people pos-sess.
She freely shares her wisdom and extensive knowl-edge with customers and collectors alike. I have titled it:
The Antique Wisdom of Sally Starr
Be an educated collector.Find dealers you can trust.Touch antiques whenever you can.Train your mind, your eye and your touch.You never regret buying a really great thing.Buy the very best you can.Buy what you love and keep it.Antiques are enduring elegance.
Sally explains that having "The Collector's Eye"means understanding what it takes to build a great collec-tion, that is "a personal vision and plenty of self-confi-dence."
She explains, "I hear people say, 'I love antiques' butthey can't buy. Some folks are possessed by the need to"get rid of." If something gives you pleasure, what's wrongwith that," she concludes.

The grand holiday of Thanksgiving has been cele-brated in many ways over the decades, and a surprisingamount of it remains in memories of paper.
Trade cards, holiday postcards, magazine covers,menus, and colorful decorations have all faithfully car-ried the enduring Thanksgiving theme nationwide.
Historians have long noted that President GeorgeWashington delivered an address proclaiming the first of-ficial Thanksgiving Day in November 1789. The eventreportedly was already an established occurrence in muchof New England Published accounts say it was a copy ofthat Washington proclamation which prompted PresidentAbraham Lincoln to renew observation of the event dur-ing the Civil War. The paper copy was said to have beensent to Lincoln by Sara Josepha Hale of Philadelphia.
Short decades later merchant's lithographed tradecards were occasionally paying tribute to the all-Ameri-can holiday. The Singer Sewing Machine companywished customers a "Happy Thanksgiving" with printed
cards bearing embossed images of fruits and vegetables.While Christmas was a much more dominate theme forsuch trade cards, there were a few Thanksgiving choicesincluding Singer, and Acme Stove Company during the1880s and 1890s.
Thanksgiving was richly represented in the wave ofholiday postcards which were introduced early in the 20thcentury. Enamored by the vivid images and the ease ofmailing, Americans flooded the postal service with suchcards. The turkey was an obvious symbol, as were Pil-grims, and the scene of the dinner table. Additionallymany of the Thanksgiving postcards included patrioticmotifs involving the U.S. flag, Uncle Sam, and spangledbanners. Major artists of such postcards included EllenClapsaddle, Frances Brundage, Bernardt Wall, and H. B.Griggs whose works often included their name. Howeverthe major of Thanksgiving postcards were not signed.
By the 1920s the public moved on to folded greetingcards complete with their own envelope for marking hol-idays. Such greeting cards were certainly more expensivethan earlier postcards but were considered more stylishfor the decades that followed.
During the 1920s and 1930s there were entire cata-logs filled with Thanksgiving and other holiday decora-tions made almost entirely of paper. In 1924 one whole-sale company offered dozens of Thanksgiving placecards, tally cards, paper napkins, and table covers. All

Dec. 4th & 5th, 10 am to 9 pm
It was just over a decade ago that Cy Walling, co-founder of theVillage Antique Mall, had the vision of opening a prominent antiquemall in Denver. A dream that proved to have its difficulties eventuallytransformed to fruition. With the smart business guidance of his bestfriend and co-founder Michael White, Cy Walling was able to live thelast 10 years of his life living his dream.
“I came up here 10 years ago to help my best friend Cy start thisbusiness,” says Michael, “He was going to do it on his own but hecouldn't, and I knew after already starting a successful business inJunction, that I would be able to help him.”
"Our first order of business was to find this building, it took us2 and 1/2 years to get this building. Originally we had a 3 year lease,and I knew that wasn't a long enough time to successfully build thisbusiness. So I demanded a 20 year lease or nothing and we got it. It isproving to be the best lease in town."

were described as "nicely lithographed" andmany came with appropriate amounts of crepepaper for further decorating. One of the compa-ny's most popular table decorations was the JackHomer Pie that included a large pumpkin and alarge turkey. Other 12 to 14 inch alternativesincluded the Haywagon Pie, and the Horn ofPlenty Pie. Other decorations came with cellu-loid kewpie dolls including Kewpie Thanksgiv-ing Chef wearing a cook's apron and cook's hat.
"Thanksgiving assortments are given ourspecial attention," noted the vintage catalog,"and we are sure they will prove most satisfac-tory."
Amajor force in the production of holiday-related paper goods in the early 20th century wasthe Dennison Company. The firm manufacturedan enormous variety of paper tableware. Theyalso offered numerous booklets and other publications withinstructions for paper decorating inside the home. Evenmore imaginative was the Beistle Company which producedclever cardboard and honeycombed paper combinations ofturkeys, Pilgrims, pumpkins, and similar seasonal items.Beistle marketed a remarkable selection of centerpieces andwall decorations throughout the 20th century.
National magazines often featured Thanksgivingthemes as seasonal covers during the first half of the 20thcentury. Initially the covers were illustrated with the basicelements of the holiday including the pumpkin, turkey, andharvest basket Gradually such magazine covers becamemore elegant with the distinguished works of artists suchas J.C. Leyendecker and Norman Rockwell.
Generally it was Leyendecker's work which was moredominant in the 1930s, especially on the richly illustratedcovers of the Saturday Evening Post. Meanwhile in themidst of the Great Depression of that same era, Collier'smagazine used a Thanksgiving cover by Emmett Watson.
That 1931 holiday issue also included a Thanksgivingeditorial. Collier's told readers:
"If we have jobs and earnings let's give thanks andshare what we have with those less fortunate. If we arewithout surplus or resource we can take some comfort inthe knowledge that our plight is understood and that ourfriends and neighbors are sensitive to human need andeager to relieve it."
Ironically one of the most unique forms of Thanks-giving paper collectibles came from the Civilian Conser-vation Corps which were formed to provide work for thejobless during the latter 1930s. Various CCC often cele-brated the holiday when their own program or menu forthe special event and typically they were based on theefforts of an untrained camp artist.
In 1935 The Giant Thanksgiving Book appeared inthe market. Written by Lenore Hetrick the volume con-tained, "recitations, songs, readings, pantomimes, drills,novelties, pageants, and plays...all ages." The 284 pagebook was published by Paine Publishing Company ofDayton, Ohio.
Norman Rockwell's Thanksgiving covers were prob-ably more dominate on national magazine covers in the
1940s. They were especial-ly popular during the yearsof World War II and oftenrelated to those in militaryservice as the holiday wasobserved.

the First Thanksgiving Book written by LoisLenski Barksdale was published by the Knopfcompany. Thanksgiving was also one of severalholidays featured on street car and bus linepass/tickets for American cities including Wash-ington, D.C. in that era.
In the decades that followed Thanksgivingwas still a steady theme for magazine covers butprobably without lavish artistry of before.
Jack and Jill, the children's publication, con-tinued to feature Thanksgiving on the front oftheir November issues during the 1950s and1960s.

Two years later the New York Daily News-paper carried a full page advertisement for stillenormously popular holiday parade.

Freedom comes at a highprice when men and women haveto risk and sacrifice their lives forthe nation we have built and wayof life we have come to enjoy. Themen and women who have servedour country in times of war andpeace are some of our nation’sbest citizens. We justly honorthem on Veterans Day.
Americans show their appreciating to men andwomen in the Armed Forces in many ways. When we erecta monument, lower a flag to half-mast, set a wreath, at-tend a function, and gather at a VFW hall on this day tohear speeches, we show respect to the nation’s peacekeep-ers, and we acknowledge virtues to be passed on for gen-erations. Our silent meditation and prayers for the fallenare heartfelt. The brave deeds of soldiers stir the imagina-tion of our youths.
Our veterans are the backbone of the nation. WeAmericans hope to avoid war, and when we send ourforces off to war we long for their safe return. Veteransdeserve the benefits we authorize Congress to give them.
Our veterans have earned their pensions. We support hos-pitals to care for the wounded and sick. We care for thewidows and children of veterans. We generously help vet-erans receive grants for continuing education and voca-tional training. We will never forget those who serve inthe Armed Forces. Let us observe Veterans Day with de-votion in any and every way we can.
The wellbeing and happiness of our veterans are onthe minds of parents and spouses, family and friends, andevery freedom-loving individual. We gladly read aboutour armed forces in books, see them in action on film, andpicture them on postage stamps.
Veterans of the United States, we proudly salute youon this Veterans Day and always!

Sally understands the modern challenges of the an-tique business. It is different in different parts of the coun-try. "On the East Coast, for example, antiquing is auto-matic, almost an inherited trait. Everyone has them. InColorado the people and the culture are different."
She is fascinated at how many millennials are so cap-tivated by electronics that they invest so much of their re-sources into upgrading perfectly good things time aftertime making a large part of our society very 'disposable.'"It is almost as if they don't want the responsibility of car-ing for something 100 years old." Sally is patient, though,and quickly adds, "sooner or later most of them get it."
Sally is optimistic about the future of antiques. Sheexplains, "We need more brick and mortar stores, placeswhere you can touch and feel things. You can't do that onthe Internet. One of the best things about antiques is theypreserve not just the past but they also reveal our history,who we are as a people and what we value. What is im-portant to us.”
Starr Antiques on South Broadway is a unique shopwith hundreds of treasures hand picked by Sally for qual-ity and beauty. Among them are New England Windsorchairs circa pre 1820 including some comb back Wind-sors. Another group of treasures are original art worksfrom early America including some fascinating periodportraits. During that time period portraits were used asthe keeper of memories. It wasn't until the Civil War thatMatthew Brady made photographs popular and common-place.
One of her favorite groups of collectibles are "Make-do's" which come from a time when we were not a dis-posable throw-away society. In early American culturewhen something broke or was worn out people would re-pair it or otherwise make-do with what they had. It was atime when traveling repairmen would go from town totown fixing things. They were called tinkerers. Theywould staple things back together or glue them or fix bro-ken parts instead of throwing them away. These are a fa-vorite collectible of people today. Some of them are oldglassware which was hard to come by in early America,old teapots or tools or furniture.
Sally also has some early American toys. One such item
is a Noah's ark wooden toyfrom the mid 1800's. It wasa religious toy which werepopular because in manyplaces American childrenwere not allowed to playwith toys on the sabbath un-less they were religious innature.
Folk art is anothercollectible you can find atStarr Antiques. It is espe-cially popular with people who like mixing modern withantique.
Sally also has numerous fine early American needlework samplers. These were done at school by children andthey were framed and treasured by the entire family in thelate 1700's and early 1800's. A sure sign of excellentschool work.
You can find some fine excellent Early American pot-tery, with figurines on the inside of the ale mugs. And ifyou're looking for some inexpensive, historic collectiblesyou might want to investigate some of the paper Englishindentures that Sally was able to get her hands on.
All this is just a small sample of the treasures avail-able at Starr Antiques.
"What I like best about this business is being aroundantiques. I love them, they're like family. I love to deco-rate the shop, and redecorate the shop. When I sell some-thing I can't wait to fill that space with something spe-cial."
What's next for Sally? "To continue my focus and re-search on early America. It's more than who we were, it'swho we are."
When you visit Starr Antiques you will always begreeted by Sally's helper, the always friendly Jack Frost,a Bishon Poodle mix she got one holiday season at the an-imal shelter. Frost bitten and starving it was some timebefore she realized he was white. You will also find out alot about the antique you're interested in and a little moreabout our great heritage.
Visit this special and fascinating shop and enjoySally's Southern hospitality.

duced clever cardboard and honeycombed papercombinations of turkeys, Pilgrims, pumpkins, andsimilar seasonal items. Beistle marketed a remark-able selection of centerpieces and wall decorationsthroughout the 20th century.
National magazines often featured Thanks-giving themes as seasonal covers during the firsthalf of the 20th century. Initially the covers wereillustrated with the basic elements of the holidayincluding the pumpkin, turkey, and harvest basketGradually such magazine covers became more el-egant with the distinguished works of artists suchas J.C. Leyendecker and Norman Rockwell.
Generally it was Leyendecker's work whichwas more dominant in the 1930s, especially onthe richly illustrated covers of the SaturdayEvening Post. Meanwhile in the midst of the GreatDepression of that same era, Collier's magazineused a Thanksgiving cover by Emmett Watson.
That 1931 holiday issue also included aThanksgiving editorial. Collier's told readers:
"If we have jobs and earnings let's givethanks and share what we have with those less for-tunate. If we are without surplus or resource wecan take some comfort in the knowledge that ourplight is understood and that our friends andneighbors are sensitive to human need and eagerto relieve it."
Ironically one of the most unique forms ofThanksgiving paper collectibles came from theCivilian Conservation Corps which were formedto provide work for the jobless during the latter1930s. Various CCC often celebrated the holidaywhen their own program or menu for the specialevent and typically they were based on the effortsof an untrained camp artist.
In 1935 The Giant Thanksgiving Book ap-peared in the market. Written by Lenore Hetrickthe volume contained, "recitations, songs, readings,pantomimes, drills, novelties, pageants, and
plays...all ages." The 284 page book was publishedby Paine Publishing Company of Dayton, Ohio.
Norman Rockwell's Thanksgiving coverswere probably more dominate on national maga-zine covers in the 1940s. They were especiallypopular during the years of World War II and oftenrelated to those in military service as the holidaywas observed. Rockwell as also responsible forthe Four Freedom posters issued in 1943. Amongthe four, which were printed in three differentsizes, was Freedom From Want which featuredMom and Pop serving a traditional turkey dinner.
During that same decade Life magazine pub-lished one of their few Thanksgiving issues, andthe First Thanksgiving Book written by LoisLenski Barksdale was published by the Knopfcompany. Thanksgiving was also one of severalholidays featured on street car and bus linepass/tickets for American cities including Wash-ington, D.C. in that era.
In the decades that followed Thanksgivingwas still a steady theme for magazine covers butprobably without lavish artistry of before.
Jack and Jill, the children's publication, con-tinued to feature Thanksgiving on the front of theirNovember issues during the 1950s and 1960s. In1966 the cover also made mention of Macy'sThanksgiving Day parade in New York City. Twoyears later the New York Daily Newspaper car-ried a full page advertisement for the still enor-mously popular holiday parade.
were described as "nicely lithographed" andmany came with appropriate amounts of crepepaper for further decorating. One of the compa-ny's most popular table decorations was the JackHomer Pie that included a large pumpkin and alarge turkey. Other 12 to 14 inch alternativesincluded the Haywagon Pie, and the Horn ofPlenty Pie. Other decorations came with cellu-loid kewpie dolls including Kewpie Thanksgiv-ing Chef wearing a cook's apron and cook's hat.
"Thanksgiving assortments are given ourspecial attention," noted the vintage catalog,"and we are sure they will prove most satisfac-tory."
A major force in the production of holiday-related paper goods in the early 20th century wasthe Dennison Company. The firm manufacturedan enormous variety of paper tableware. Theyalso offered numerous booklets and other publications withinstructions for paper decorating inside the home. Evenmore imaginative was the Beistle Company which producedclever cardboard and honeycombed paper combinations ofturkeys, Pilgrims, pumpkins, and similar seasonal items.Beistle marketed a remarkable selection of centerpieces andwall decorations throughout the 20th century.

According to the original advertisement itselfthe parade promised appearances by:
"Superman balloon, Smokey the Bear, Shirley Jones,Jack Cassidy, William Shatner, Jerry Vale, Bullwinkle,Johnny Whittaker, Bobby Vinton, Snoopy, Donald Duck,and Mickey Mouse." Today even the newspaper advertise-ment of 1968 merits interest among collectors who searchfor paper memories of Thanksgiving.

From the Chicago Tribune
The Impossible Dream isn't just possible any more —it's here. Embrace it, savor it, scream it from the rooftops.The Cubs are World Series champs!
Holy cow, how Chicago has waited for this. On thebrink of elimination after Game 4, the Cubs stormed backand wrested victory from the Cleveland Indians in Game7. Players dripping Champagne find themselves alsoawash in glory not felt in Cubs Nation since 1908. Howlong ago was that? Henry Ford began selling Model T's at$850 a pop, Taft beat Bryan to become president, womencouldn't vote and men lived an average of 49 years.
This wondrous moment can be interpreted so manyways. Salve for a city that's been beaten down by vio-lent crime and public debt. The exorcism of demonsconjured in the form of a black cat and a goat. Or wecan simply absorb it for what it is — the culminationof a glorious season that brought us pitching master-pieces, homers in bunches … and a thrilling conclu-sion Wednesday night.
This series had familiar stars shining brightly: Bryant,Rizzo, Lester, Baez, Arrieta, Chapman, to name a few. But
one player makes it particularly memorable. While his team-mates were running away with their division, Kyle Schwar-ber doggedly rehabbed all season following a devastating kneeinjury, spent a week taking hundreds of pitches of batting prac-tice in Arizona and then capped off his improbable, inspiringcomeback with clutch hitting heroics.
There will be much said about the shelving of thephrase Wait till next year. Not so fast. Let's hang on to it,but imbue it with different meaning: Wait till next year!And the year after that, and the year after that …
We hope this is only the Cubs' coming-out party.Other Chicago pro sports team have had championshipsrecent enough to linger in our collective memory. TheCubs were the outlier, the team defined by diminished ex-pectations. Year after year, we'd head to Wrigley Field
never banking on a win, instead merely content with a sun-splashed day, a couple of red-hots and a seat in the world'sbest place to watch baseball. The Friendly Confines werethe draw — the Cubs were scenery.
That era is over, eclipsed by a dynasty in the making.Championships don't have to be an anomaly in this city;the youthful Cubs can make them habit-forming. We'veseen before how championships can be strung together,with roster touches that refine but don't disrupt. The Bullsdid just that with a Jordan-Pippen core and the right sup-porting cast. The Hawks still have their Kane-Toews-Keith-Crawford nucleus.
For now, however, the only arrangements that need to bemade have to do with tons of confetti and parade routing. CubsNation has 108 years of dormant jubilation to let loose!

Find It Locally,
Find It In FlorenceBy Sandy Dale
So it’s November. Really? So, then it willbe Thanksgiving and then…BAM!...Christ-mas. It is time for all us procrastinators to getabout our holiday shopping - a particularlygood time for us to shop locally at our favoritesmall businesses.
Can’t think of the perfect gifts for friends andrelatives? I know my friends and relatives liketo eat. Me, too. If I play my cards right, I canget them gift certificates from several of my fa-vorite restaurants in town. They will be so ap-preciative they will take me with them (and,maybe, buy my dinner since theirs was a gift).
Though this year, I think I still have time tomake some unique “repurposed art” projects formy loved ones. You know, new lamps or tablesor planters made from neat old stuff. And I knowjust where to go to start shopping for the neat oldstuff: Salvage, Antiques, Vintage, Etc. ErinSauer and Barna Kasa have just opened an archi-tectural salvage/antiques/flea market/and othergreat stuff store in the 200 West block of MainStreet. The store itself is a piece of repurposedart with great old rusty hardware, reclaimedwood, spectacular antique doors, and vintage fur-niture artfully arranged in “photo-op” displays.Erin tells me not only do they have hundreds ofdoors, but they also have hundreds of doorknobsto choose from for those “artsy” coat racks I wasthinking about making.
I asked Barna and Erin why they chose Flo-rence as the location for their entrepreneurial ad-venture. “It’s such an up and coming area,” theyanswered together. “And so people-friendly,”added Erin. They mentioned that the open-mind-ed, accessible city management was encouragingand willing to work with them. Their plans forthe future include working with other businessesto encourage shoppers to come for the weekend,giving discounts to those shoppers who stay over.Toward that goal, they are currently remodelinga four-plex in town.
Erin and Barna have dedicated a small roomin their store as a “tourist information” center.Available are both current and vintage touristguides and maps. Even t-shirts.
I’m certainly glad they are open seven daysa week because I have to go home and rethinkwhether I’m going to make a repurposed art pieceor whether I will purchase one of the odd andlovely pieces they have already created.
But whatever I decide…I know I can find itin Florence.

When the Richard Wright doll collection is auctioned offat Skinner’s Auction Gallery October 10 in Marlborough,Massachusetts, some dating to the 18th century many typeswill be offered. They range from a large Queen Anne doll ina mahogany and veneered display case, c. 1720 with an esti-mate of $50,000/70,000 to a small, papier-mâché, Germandoll, c.1840 estimated at $800/1,200.
Of special interest are two "fashion" dolls. Both by MmeRohmer, France, c. 1865 and 1870. Also offered is a fashiondoll accessory kit, c. 1870. It has an estimate of $400/600.Over the last decade they have been rediscovered by collec-tors. Even recent examples such as the Barbie dolls with theirwardrobes and the Madame Alexander fashion dolls havebecome serious collectibles.
From the 15th into the 18th century elegantly dressed"lady" or "fashion" dolls were popular. They were designedas adult figures. The first fashion "baby doll" was madearound 1710. Actually they are not a type of doll but a func-tional use of them. However, any type of doll could bedressed in the latest adult or children’s fashion and travel toshow off the latest fashions. It was so important to Europeannobility that the dolls were passed from court to court evenwhen the countries were at war.
By the 19th century doll makers used their most expen-sive models dressed in Paris fashions around the world.Among them Jumeau, Bru, Roch and others. Heads were of avariety of materials from bisque to china heads made by thefamous French porcelain firm Sevres.
In the 1930s American made fashion dolls capturedthe market with dolls that could perform various func-tions. Eyes would open and shut: dolls could drink
water and even wet themselves.CLUES: If an antique fashion doll can be attributed to a
known maker the price goes up. When found these days theyare usually wearing only a string of beads. It was MadameAlexander who created "grown up" fashion dolls in 1952,changing the look of American dolls. Her dolls were dressedin "high fashion" using quality materials. She created "Cissie"in the 1950s, the first full-figured adult figure fashion doll.
Of course, the most popular fashion doll of all time wascreated when Barbie® made her debut as a Mattel Toy in1959. Also introduced in the 50s(1956) was the Ideal ToyCorporation’s "Miss Revlon" doll. She was among the firstdolls to have high-heeled feet and the figure of an adultwoman.
Discoveries of early fashion dolls are still being made.Research the many books on the subject so you know what
they look like and get acquainted with specialized doll auc-tions such as Theriaults, online and collector auctions held bySkinner.

We had several correct guesses for our October’sWhat Is It. Walter McKinstry, Jr. of Julesburg, Col-orado captures the description. He writes, “Many hatpins from the Victorian period up to 1920s, 1930s havelong steel points that went through large hats and piledup hair on ladies of style. Some used as defensiveweapons. Smaller pins for pill box hats. Julesburg’sDepot Museum has collection of 100 or more hat pinsdonated by an FBI Agent Darrell Lounsberry. Some
with very rare jeweled heads.”The hatpins pictured below are mosaic hatpins.
They are fashioned of tiny pieces of colored glassand were probably made between 1850 and 1870.The cube, 3/8 inch on each side, has 6 floral designs,the ball 12.
Other winners of our October What Is It contestinclude: Jean Kropp of Westminster, Colorado;Jacque Rutledge of Northglenn, Colorado; Carolyn
Kundel, Roland, Iowa; Terry Cook, Fort Morgan,Colorado; Susan Thode, Broomfield, Colorado (whoadded, “I really enjoy the Collector newspaper. Itoften inspires me to do research for Questers’ Pro-grams”); Judy Hess of Greeley, Colorado and Mar-jorie McLaren of Anchorage, Alaska.

Q. I remember my grandmother keeping jewelry inthis box when I was a child. It has a raised leaf design sur-round a circular portrait of a woman. On the bottom is a anoval shaped design with a B & W in the center. It is somekind of metal, possibly brass or copper. What can you tellme about it?
K.C. -Shawnee, KSA. From your photo you appear to have a Victorian,
cast metal glove box with a celluloid cameo. They werepopular from the 1890s to around 1910. Similar examplescan sell in shops for several hundred dollars.
Q. My mother-in law gave me a Snow White and theSeven Dwarfs rug she got in the 1930s. It was made inItaly. Any idea of value ?H.P.-
A. Prices vary, but it could sell for over $200.Q. What can you tell me about the Czechoslovakian
tea set with Spanish marks? On the bottom it says "Fabri-cada en Alp Choslovagia."
M.A. Czechoslovakian tea sets and other pieces made of
porcelain and semi-porcelain were exported to many coun-tries, including Spain, which explains the markings onyour tea set.
Q. I bought this colorful Oriental plate in a Floridathrift shop. It is 18 inches in diameter and has no marks. Ipaid $25. How old is it ? Where was it made ? Did I paytoo much ?
H.C. - Pompano Beach, FLA. You have a collector’s eye and have discovered a
mid-19th century Japanese Imari charger. Made in theJapanese town of Arita beginning in the 17th Century, itwas named for the port of Imari-the place from where itwas shipped. The designs of textiles, chrysanthemums andlandscapes were enclosed in panels. It became so popularthat by the 18th century the Chinese copied it. So did Eng-
lish potters such as Derby, Bow, Worcester and Chelsea.Yours could fetch $900 or more at auction.
Q. I found this painted spice bin in an antiques shopyears ago. The dealer told me it was called "tole" I havesince used it as a decorative object in my kitchen. Now Iwould like to know about its history and value.
M.B.T. - Las Vegas, NVA. Your 19th century spice bin is known as "tole" —
basically it is painted tin-ware. Regardless of how it wasfinished it can be called "painted tin," "tole" or"Japanned." In Colonial America, painted tin was import-ed from England. By 1750, American peddlers were trav-eling from town to town selling it. From 1790 to 1870 itwas advertised as "Japanned-ware." In good conditionyours could sell for more than $800 at auction.

water. When examining an axe that looks too perfect oris too sharp, look closely for marks of machine grind-ing, and look closely for any of the normal wear signs.If there's any question in your mind, pass it up.
Pricing is subjective, but some broad guidelines
apply. Crude, poorly worked axes can usually bebought for $3 to $5 and resold for $10 to $15. Moder-ately good axes can be bought for $1 5 to $20 and mar-keted for $50 to $75. Large, beautifully crafted axesmay cost $50 to $75, but can easily bring $300 to$500.
In summary, when considering buying ground axes,look for patina and signs of authentic wear, aestheticappeal of the lithic material, overall size, and quality ofworkmanship. Though not as plentiful as chipped stoneartifacts, ground stone axes can be an intriguing and prof-itable inventory addition.

We know that apples have a long history because thelovely Song of Song includes the lines: "I raised thee upunder the apple tree; Where thy mother brought theeforth…"
In ancient tradition, the apple was the forbidden fruitin the Garden of Eden. In classical mythology the applewas sacred.
There are countless varieties to choose from.Jonathan and McIntosh are the most popular for eating.Baldwin, Delicious, Fall Pippin, Greening, R.I., RomeBeauty, Wealthy and Winsap are excellent for baking pies.The rule for buying apples is to look for the best in sea-son. These are best and usually least expensive.
The famous French author, Alexandre Dumas wrotenovels and stories for income, but produced his culinarymasterpiece, the Grand Dictionnaire de Cousine, becausehe loved food. His useful, entertaining book, published in1873 offers this recipe for a special breakfast.

butter. As soon as applesare hot, pour the egg mix-ture over them, spreadingevenly. Keep on the fire,lifting here and there to let

Lower grade tools. Two lack the shape and workmanship of finer examples. The two celttype axes are much smaller and have significant damage to the bit ends.
Medium grade axes. All are full-groove but one has the bit end broken off and the othertwo lack the polish and finish of high quality tools.
