The Vintage Queens:
Courtney Wagner and Candy Olsen of Storage Wars New York Courtney Wagner and Candy Olsen.
By Mike McLeod Perhaps you are one of the 2.9 million people who have watched Courtney Wagner and Candy Olsen on A&E’s Storage Wars New York bid on and buy storage lockers while styling in vintage attire and high heels. Needless to say, they make quite a contrasting design statement in comparison to the other New Yorkers on the show vying for potential treasures in abandoned lockers. In addition to the show, Courtney and Candy are the proprietors of C&C Pop-Up Shop, a traveling vintage boutique, and they were dealers for the first time at Brimfield in 2013. How did you two become the queens of vintage that you are? Courtney: I think I can speak for both of us when I say we were “born this way.” I first started shopping in vintage clothing stores in high school. Mostly because I couldn’t afford to dress like the cool kids. I figured if I can’t fit in, I might as well stand out. Once vintage shopping becomes part of who you are, you naturally begin to learn more about the design influences of the time and the craftsmanship. It’s still about being unique; I don’t think that’s a design trend that will ever change. Candy: For me, it all started with my parents. They are both so completely independent in every way, and their courage and stubbornness helped me form my own tastes and desires. My mom specifically showed me the value and thrill of shopping secondhand. It was so much fun digging and finding the fabric, buttons and styles I’d never seen before. I can remember going to secondhand stores, thrift stores and flea markets since the age of five.
The ladies clean out the storage lockers and haul off the stuff without the help of the TV crew— while suitably attired, of course, as Candy demonstrates here.
Your website (www.cncpopupshop.com) describes your business as: “…a mobile and roaming pop-up shop of vintage and up-cycled finds. With the Banana Van as their trusty ride, Candy Olsen and Courtney Wagner are two Brooklyn girls with an obsession for odd, eclectic and vintage. Finding their treasures in storage lockers, estate sales and along the streets of the city, bringing them to different locations around the 5 boroughs.” How long have you been doing pop-up sales, and how was the idea for the business conceived? Candy: I’m gonna defer to my partner in crime here because the name of our biz was all her. Courtney: Initially, we couldn’t afford to open a brick-andmortar shop so this was our way of starting a business with little to no initial investment. Our very first sale was in the back of a restaurant that a friend of ours was running. They let us pop-up for the whole weekend without a vendor fee. We sort of

“shared” customers. They’d come for brunch, and the staff would say, “Hey, make sure you check out the boutique in the back,” or they’d come to shop and we’d say, “This restaurant has the most amazing cocktails.” We have been very fortunate to have friends that are willing to share the wealth, and we’ve been doing pop-up sales for about two years now. Tell me about an interesting item you have picked up off the streets of New York City. Courtney: We found an antique game table near my house once. The top opened to reveal an inlaid chessboard. Under the board was a drawer lined in silk, and the whole thing was on porcelain wheels. One of the legs had broken, which is why it was in the trash, but I nailed and sanded that sucker back together, and we sold it—probably for much less than it was worth, but hey, that’s the game sometimes.
Candy: My bathroom is probably my favorite room in the apartment because it’s so large by New York standards. The linen cabinet is actually a ‘50s kitchen cabinet. The mirror and the whitewashed shelf are street finds.
If you went to Rome, would you pick up a vintage item off the street there? Or maybe I should ask, have you ever picked up a vintage item off the street while vacations or traveling? Candy: In all my travels, 100% of the time whenever there’s a free day or few hours, I spend it going to the local thrift, vintage and antique stores. I’ve traveled all over the United States, parts of Canada, Europe a few times and Japan. And little pieces of all those places always come home with me. For a long time, I hunted ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s Swarovski crystal necklace and bracelet sets. But an addiction to purses and unique vintage dresses and pieces keeps my closets overflowing still. A few of my most prized possessions from afar would be a leather coat I picked up at a thrift store in La Louviere, a tiny French town in Belgium, in 2002. It’s navy blue with two small pockets in front and for only $13! I’ve sewn it back together probably like ten times at least because it’s my most treasured jacket. And most recently, I brought home from Kyoto, Japan, an old Japanese Nikka whiskey bottle with a miniature ship inside, a 1950’s Bakelite glasses case and an old Japanese lacquered container from the ‘40s. Courtney: Anytime I’m traveling, the FIRST thing I do (once I’m in my hotel) is Yelp the local vintage stores. That said, I can’t recall ever picking something up off the street, not that I’m above it. Maybe Europeans are just better at their garbage systems. Candy: If you’re referring specifically to picking stuff up off the street, I have a very strange collection of items I’ve picked up while walking the globe. A potpourri of things people have dropped by accident. It’s very eclectic, and most of it is miniature and broken, which makes me love it more. Last fall, you two popped up at Brimfield at Hertan’s Antique Show. What was that like as a first-time experience? I heard that you camped out and grilled out.
Candy: If you sell antiques or vintage, you may understand that days can be slow, and that it’s a very self-motivated business, which can be hard day after day. But being at Brimfield is like taking an entire season or year of selling and condensing it down to a few days—6 a.m. to 6 p.m. superconcentrated selling and working. It’s amazing! There’s a sense of purpose, excitement and camaraderie much like what I imagine a traveling circus or show feels like. Love, love, loved those four days! And camping, well that’s one of my favorite things to do. The smell of the campfire, staying up, laughing and talking into the wee hours, so relaxed because you know the next day all you have to do is literally roll right out of your sleeping bag, and you are right where you need to be. Courtney: Brimfield was so much fun; I can’t wait to go back!
So let’s say Architectural Digest knocks on your doors one day to do a photo shoot of your apartments. What will they write about your home décor design? Candy: Oooooh, that’s hard. But I think they might say my tiny studio apartment reminds them of a fruit cup salad with all the color! It’s imaginative and super eclectic. I’ve got a lot of art, knick-knacks and things I’ve picked up, lots of stories. Courtney: I like to refer to my apartment as masculine with a feminine influence. When my husband and I decided to move in together, I thought this would be the easiest way to transition him from his bachelor pad. I bought furniture and collected things with a masculine feel so he wouldn’t feel like he was living in an Anthropologie store (a super feminine vintagefeeling chain store that is also online). There are still some feminine accents. We have a dress form and a chandelier in our living room, but there are also guitars on the wall and a concrete coffee table.
How did you two meet? Candy: Good story! We met doing Carousel at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. She was in the chorus as a singer, and I was a dancer in the chorus. Courtney: Yeah, they used to have these Encore-type musicals (i.e., only runs for one weekend), and we were both cast in them for two summers in a row. Then several years later, a mutual friend introduced us, and I was like, “I already know you!” You were both raised in

Candy and Courtney once found a traveling Victorian embalming table like this one that folded down into a handy carry case. (Photo courtesy of Justina Beck) southern California and grew up to be dancers. Tell me a little about your careers as dancers. Candy: I looooove performing in any venue or genre and have been dancing and doing theater since I was five, but it became very clear to me when I was about 16 that what I really wanted was to be a professional ballet dancer. So right out of high school, I moved to New York City and started studying at The Joffrey Ballet. Since then, I’ve traveled all over the world with different shows singing, acting, and dancing on pointe, in jazz shoes and heels. I’ve gotten to work with the best dancers and choreographers in the world, including Celine Dion. Ballet still is and will forever be my first love. I like to take a class a few times a week along with yoga, and I take dance work when it doesn’t interfere with C&C business. Courtney: Whoa, whoever told you I was a dancer was sadly mistaken. I may have sung quite a bit before I took up drinking and smoking, but dancing was never my strong suit. How did you get started buying storage lockers? Courtney: We were buying and selling vintage in Brooklyn as a hobby and creative outlet (and to make some extra cash) when Storage Wars came calling. They were like, “Would you want to go to these auctions?” and we said, “Hell, yeah!” We’re up for any challenge.

What has been unexpected about being on a TV show? Candy: I think for this show specifically the most unexpected thing was how difficult it actually was every day.

Courtney: Yeah, the challenge is that we have to deal with the contents of the lockers immediately. Most facilities will only give you 48 hours to clean out a room, and we’re with the production team 30-40 hours a week outside of that. We were also buying storage lockers every week so we ended up with a lot more merchandise then a normal auction buyer would take on in that time frame, and we hardly had time to sell anything. When I watch any of the Storage Wars shows, I have assumed TV crew members help the buyers pack up and haul stuff away. Do you have help? Candy: Ha-ha, the simple answer is no. It’s just us and at times a friend, Courtney’s husband Joe or a fellow mover we’ve coerced into helping us for pennies. Courtney: Candy and I are professional movers now. People always want to know what your best find ever has been. Candy: We found what originally looked like an old-fashioned portable massage table but turned out to be a traveling Victorian Era embalming table. Courtney: I thought it was a therapist’s table. Candy: Originally, it was worth quite a pretty penny, but then we found it, there was a bit of water damage. We still made a great profit off our find. Courtney: Creepy, but so interesting!

A Treasure Chest Filled with Gold and Jewels Waiting To Be Found

Perhaps you have heard the story of Forrest Fenn, the New Mexico millionaire who has hidden a treasure chest somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. The chest holds gold coins, gold nuggets, gold dust, Pre-Columbian animal figures, rubies, diamonds, hammered gold mirrors, a Spanish ring from the 17th century, jade Chinese faces, and antique emerald and ruby jewelry—and one other thing: Forrest Fenn’s autobiography. Fenn published The Thrill of the Chase, his autobiography, in 2010, and in it, he included a 24-line poem as a map to the treasure (see below). The first question that comes to mind, is why? Why did he load 20.2 troy pounds1 of gold along with jewels and antiquities into a 10 x 10 x 5-inch bronze chest and hide it for someone to find? “I hid it for several reasons,” Fenn responded recently via email after agreeing to this interview. “I thought I was dying of cancer and wanted others to have the thrill of the chase looking for treasures as I have for so many years. Another reason was to get families, kids particularly, off the couch, out of the game rooms and into the mountains to smell the sunshine. A third reason was to give a sense of adventure to those who are having a hard time in this recession. I could have given the money to a few people to help them, but by hiding the chest, I am giving thousands of people hope the opportunity to find a treasure at the end of their own rainbow.” Before he retired, Forrest Fenn made his fortune selling art and antiquities in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Many times, his gallery drew the famous: Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Steven Spielberg, President Gerald Ford, Ralph Lauren, Michael Douglas, Steve Martin, Suzanne Somers, Donald Rumsfeld and others. Fenn has sought treasure in one form or another ever since finding an arrowhead as a boy while exploring with his father. He grew up in Texas in humble circumstances, but he grew up to become a combat pilot in the Air Force. Serving in Vietnam, he earned a Silver Star, three Distinguished Flying Crosses, a Bronze Star, 14 Air Medals and a Purple Heart. He was shot down twice by ground fire. Before Vietnam, other duty stations overseas in the 1950s and ‘60s gave him many antiquity-finding opportunities. In addition to the United States, Libya, Germany and Italy, Fenn has ventured to the Amazon Jungle in Brazil, “…where I

traded knives and fish hooks to the natives. I traded cigars to Montagnard villagers in the Highlands of Vietnam for antique crossbows and arrows. I also traded tobacco to a Viet Cong prisoner of war for sandals he had made out of a truck tire.” While in Italy, Fenn made discoveries in Pompeii. “I took the train from Naples to Pompeii. A friend’s father, who was a curator at the ancient ruins, gave me tacit permission to climb over a low wall and into a 2,000-year-old backyard. I dug in the sharp volcanic cinders with my gloved hands. A security guard spotted me and took me to the curator’s lab where we sipped ‘wine’ from the ancient amphora I had uncovered. It tasted like decayed vinegar.” In Africa, Fenn explored more historic sites. “I searched the ancient Roman ruins of Sabratha and Leptis Magna on Timeless Antiques.8th.H..12.08_SEA.indd the Mediterranean in Libya and photographed the huge stone mosaics and collapsed pillars of marble. In the Sahara, I found ancient stone projectiles in close proximity to burned tanks and other relics left over from WWII. Wars were lying on top of wars.” Fenn maintains that his treasure can be found when starting at the right point. He has said some have gotten close, but close doesn’t count in Angels Antiques.qrt.H..10.2009_SEA.indd treasure hunting. “A number of searchers have been within several hundred 2918 20th Avenue • Valley, AL 36854 feet of the treasure.” Conveniently located off Exit 79 of I-85 In addition to the poem, Fenn has given a few more clues:

(including a woman from Georgia who recently drove to Montana to look for it), and some have pestered him for clues. What has been Forrest Fenn’s reward in this adventure? “My rewards have come from a few thousand emails from those who have searched the mountains with family and friends. Sons have been reunited with their fathers (in one case after 19 years without speaking). One teenager said she lost 8 pounds walking up and down the hills, and thanked me.” The treasure is still waiting to be found. When it is, you will definitely hear about it on the news. Until then, treasure seekers can learn more at www. oldsantafetradingco.com/the-thrillresource-page.
From there it’s no place for the meek, The end is drawing nigh; There’ll be no paddle up your creek, Just heavy loads and water high. If you’ve been wise and found the blaze, Look quickly down, your quest to cease. But tarry scant with marvel gaze, Just take the chest and go in peace. So why is it that I must go And leave my trove for all to seek? The answers I already know, I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak. So hear me all and listen good, Your effort will be worth the cold. If you are brave and in the wood I give you title to the gold. ----------1 1 troy pound = 14.58 troy ounces; 20.2 troy pounds = about 294.5 troy ounces.

Name This Famous Person: Wyatt Earp by Mike McLeod The famous lawman Wyatt Earp was identified by: Sherry Blanton, Julie Kimbrell of the Old School Antique Mall in Sylva, N.C. (who has been to Tombstone too many times not to recognize him, she says); Ted Carlton of Utah; Jane Ficht of Big Canoe, Ga.; Scott and Carolyn Brown of Memories Flea An’Tique Mall in Prattville, Ala.; Larry Lunsford of Auburn, Ala.; and Sherron Lawson of Roswell, Ga. (who also guessed Carl Sandburg correctly last monthly but was accidentally unheralded). History has a love-hate
relationship with Wyatt Earp. Or I should say, historians, reporters, and the people of his day had/have a love-hate relationship with Wyatt Earp. He seemed to be a polarizing figure, and his life was proof that the Wild West earned that title. Before becoming a lawman, Wyatt Earp had his own run-ins with the law. As a young man, he was once arrested for stealing a horse, and he escaped from jail to avoid prosecution. He had other Virgil Earp died brushes with the law, but this did not stop at the age of 62 in him from eventually pinning on a badge, 1905 in Nevada mostly thanks to his older brother Virgil Wyatt Earp was 33 after suffering who was already an officer of the law. It years old at the O.K. from pneumonia. was actually Virgil who sometimes got Corral. Wyatt jobs as a deputy, and it was Virgil—not Wyatt—who was the leader of the Earps and Doc Holliday at the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.1 As a lawman, Wyatt Earp was seemingly fearless and calm in life-threatening situations. In one instance, he stood up against a lynch mob and saved a man who was accused of murder, Curly Bill Brocius, from being hung. In a strange turn of events, Earp shot Curly Bill dead some time later for being an accessory in the murder of his brother Morgan. The event that made Wyatt Earp famous, the gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, did not exactly happen as it was portrayed in the movies. The run-up Williamsburg.06.11_SEA to this involved run-ins with Ike Clanton, a so-called cattle rancher who was actually a cattle rustler.

John Henry “Doc” Holliday’s graduation photo from the Philadelphia School of Dental Surgery in 1872 when he was 20. Born in Griffin, Ga., he was a cousin by marriage to Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone With The Wind. He died at 36 in 1887 in Colorado from the effects of tuberculosis. Virgil handed Doc a double-barrel shotgun which he hid under his coat so as to not disturb the townspeople. The four headed for the famous shootout and their place in history. The two groups of men faced each other at extremely close range, between six feet and ten feet apart. They did not stand shoulder to shoulder. Ike and Billy Claiborne were in the middle of the lot, and the rest of the Cowboys were behind them; two stood by their horses. The Earps and Holliday were spread out behind Virgil and to his right. At this point, Virgil ordered the Cowboys to throw up their hands and give up their guns. They did neither. Who shot first is a matter of discussion. Some say Wyatt; others say Billy Clanton. When the shooting started, Claiborne (who later said he was unarmed2) took off running. Somehow, Ike Clanton got to Wyatt and told him he was unarmed; Wyatt let him go, and Clanton escaped unharmed. After about half a minute and 30 shots being fired, Tom McLaury was down, hit by a blast by Doc Holliday’s shotgun. He soon died. Frank McLaury was shot in the stomach, and as he moved down the
street while still firing at the Earps, he was shot under the right ear. He died almost immediately. Billy Clanton was shot three times: near his right wrist, on the left of his chest and in the stomach. He also died. Virgil was shot in the calf. Morgan was grazed across his shoulder blades, and Holliday was grazed across the hip. Wyatt was unharmed. Ike Clanton, who had breathed out death threats for a day, continued to run and got away safely. The next day, he brought charges of murder again the Earps and Holliday, but those charges were dismissed, as Virgil had deputized his men, and the Cowboys should have surrendered their weapons. But this was not the end of the story. About two months later, Virgil was ambushed in town and shot in the left elbow which incapacitated his arm for the rest of his life. While playing pool, Morgan Earp was killed by a shot through a window that hit him in the back. Although Ike Clanton’s hat was found in the vicinity, no charges were brought against him or anyone else. Between mid-March and midApril 1882, Wyatt Earp as a Deputy U.S. Marshal went on what has been called the “Earp Vendetta Ride.” With arrest warrants in hand, he and Ike Clanton circa a posse tracked down and killed at least 1881, the year of the four men he believed were involved in O.K. Corral. He was the ambushes of his brothers. One was shot dead for cattle Curly Bill Brocius, the man Wyatt had rustling in 1887.

once saved from a lynch mob. After the ride, the Earps left Tombstone. What drew Wyatt to Tombstone in the first place was a huge silver strike there, the largest in Arizona. After leaving, he traveled around the West with his common-law wife Josephine Sarah Marcus, whom he later married, seeking his fortune in other boom towns in Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, California, and Alaska during the gold rush. He owned or ran saloons, was a Faro dealer, gambler, miner, real estate speculator in San Diego, a boxing referee and also a lawman from time to time. In Hollywood, he worked as a consultant on some early cowboy movies and was friends with Tom Mix and William S. Hart. In his early days, another famous lawman was also his Morning Glory.Qrt. 4.14_SEA friend—Bat Masterson.

Wyatt Earp lived to the age of 80. Born on Mar. 19, 1848 in Monmouth, Ill., he died on Jan. 13, 1929 in Los Angeles, Calif. -------------------1 From www.tombstonechamber.com: “The term ‘O.K.,’ used to name Tombstone, Arizona’s historic O.K. Corral, had its origins in the Pennsylvania Dutch country of New York State. During the 1836 presidential campaign, candidate Martin Van Buren was supported by a political club in his hometown of Kinderhook originally called the ‘Oll Korrect’ club. The name was later changed to ‘Old Kinderhook,’ and then was shortened to ‘O.K.’; Van Buren was an O.K. club member. The term eventually came into general use and was thus chosen by John Montgomery to describe his O.K. Corral, livery and feed stable which he founded in Tombstone, Az., in February of 1879.”

Shops of St. Petersburg. .“The Jewel of Florida’s Gulf Coast� 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 County 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 Manatee 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!

Civil War Collector The
By John Sexton
Dear John, I stumbled across your website whilst trying to research two sabers I have recently acquired here in England. I am an antique furniture dealer based in the U.K. and was passed a pair of what I think are Confederate sabers from someone selling off their grandparent’s estate. The have apparently been stored in an attic for 80+ years and are both complete with scabbards. I have contacted a few other dealers in the U.S., but none have been able to assist identifying them. Would you mind if I sent you some emails with images attached and details of the markings, to try and help identify them and give an indication of value? Many thanks in advance, G.S., Wiltshire, England
JS: Well, as you know, both of your sabers are typical to what was used in America during the Civil War. However, neither sword is Confederate. Classic Confederate features include brass-mounted scabbards with solder or braised bodies. Rarely do Confederate blades have ricassos that are stopped like European and American-made sabers. Your scabbard without pins in the throat appears much like those manufactured by Ames in Massachusetts. Unmarked cavalries are quite common to the market here in the U.S. and typically sell in auction for $300-$400.

Brunton. Always be careful of mundane brass objects with “CSA” stamped on them. At flea market-type venues or on the web, you will find guns that have little value and also reproductions of a variety of badges and buckles with “CSA” on them, usually marked with various dates and identification. I found several other fake Brunton-style compasses listed on eBay for $20 and up with other spurious markings. (Note the maker is even misspelled on this fake “Brinton.” Hello, John! I have a question about a coin that has been in my possession since I was very young. Here is a list of what I know about it: gold (as far as I can tell); the size of a dime; 1861 is on heads; 13 stars around the edge; Lady Liberty is on heads; “MI” is inscribed on tails inside in an oblong, open circle; outer edge of coin is ridged; and it was made to be a pendant. I have attached pictures of the coin. Can you let me know if it is really from the Civil War? From my research, all I can find is that it may have been a love token. JS: Your coin is indeed gold and started out life as an American 2 1/2 dollars gold piece. Coins in that year were made in
several mints, including Dahlonega, Ga., Charlotte, N.C., and New Orleans, which are all desirable American gold coins, especially in high grades. Your coin, as you noted, is often referred to as a love token. One side of the coin was filed down, and initials of a loved one were added. The style of the initials is typical of the late Victorian Era and could date from the Civil War, but possibly and most likely, it is later. The intrinsic gold in your coin/token has a value of about $250, and that is typically about all it will bring in this market. A golden love token, probably from the late Victorian Era.

Name This Famous (Almost) Antique:
Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers
By Mike McLeod Sherry Blanton, Ted Carlton of Utah, Scott and Carolyn Brown of Memories Flea An’Tique Mall in Prattville, Ala., Teresa P. Bland, Jim Pruett of Eastbrook Flea Market and Antique Mall in Montgomery, Ala., and Sherron Lawson of Roswell, Ga., easily identified Dorothy’s ruby slippers. While there were more than one pair of ruby slippers made for Judy Garland to wear in The Wizard of Oz, this pair was well-worn and probably used often in the movie. They are 9.5 inches long and are made of plastic, fabric and sequins. In the book, Dorothy’s magical shoes taken from the Wicked Witch of the East were silver. In the movie, they were changed to ruby slippers so they would stand out while she was walking on the Yellow Brick Road.1 In addition to the Wicked Witches of the East and West, there were also Wicked Witches of the North and South in L. Frank Baum’s books about Oz, along with 100 other characters like Glass Cat, Wise Donkey, Johnny Dough, Great Royal Marshmallow, Jack Pumpkinhead and Fyter the Tin Soldier. There is an interesting backstory as to how the ruby slippers came into Dorothy’s possession. In the books, the Wicked Witch of the East ruled the eastern quarter of Oz (the other witches ruled their respective quarters), and she forced the Munchins to do her bidding and find food for her. She did other terrible acts, such as enchanting the ax of woodman Nick Chopper, causing it to cut off his limbs one by one. Gruesome, but never fear, Nick had his limbs replaced with tin arms and legs with the help of Ku-klip the tinsmith. Eventually his
A pair of ruby slippers now residing in the Smithsonian worn by Judy Garland. (Photo, courtesy of dbking.) whole body was tin. Thus, he became the Tin Man or the Tin Woodman (not “Woodsman”). A heart, however, was somehow forgotten.

L. Frank Baum, author of The Wizard of Oz. Wicked Witch of the East, ending her plans and her life. Now you know why she was in Munchkin Land at that fateful moment. L. Frank Baum wrote 14 novels about Oz, initially from stories he told his children before bedtime. His son and great-grandson, Frank Joslin Baum and Roger S. Baum, also wrote stories about Oz, as did many other writers. Frank and Roger respectively wrote The Laughing Dragon
of Oz, 1935, and Dorothy of Oz, 1985, parts of which were used in the movie, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013). All told, there are more than 100 books about Oz and many plays, movies and TV shows. In 2012, one pair of the five or six pairs of ruby slippers made was sold for $2 million to Leonardo DiCaprio representing a group of investors, including Steven Spielberg. The group donated the slippers to the Academy Museum in Los Angeles. That particular pair was used for the close-up shots of the slippers during the movie. Judy Garland (Frances Ethel Gumm, June 10, 1922June 22, 1969) was paid $500 per week for acting in the movie that required five months of filming. She was 16 at the time. Her co-stars made the following amounts each week they worked: Frank Morgan (Professor Marvel, the Doorman, Cabby, Guard, and The Wizard of Oz2), $1,500;
Ray Bolger (Hunk and The Scarecrow), $3,000; Jack Haley (Hickory and The Tin Man), $3,000; Bert Lahr (Zeke and The Cowardly Lion), $1,500; Margaret Hamilton (Miss Gulch and The Wicked Witch of the West), $1,000; Billie Burke (Glinda the Good Witch of the North), $766.67; Charley Grapewin (Uncle Henry), $750; Clara Blandick (Auntie Em), $750; and Terry the Dog (Toto), $125.3 Don’t feel too bad for Judy Garland making less per week than all the other main actors except Toto—she worked the most, and $500 in her day is equivalent to $8,000 today. The Wizard of Oz won two Academy Awards (Best Song and Best Original Score) out of its six nominations, but it was going against stiff competition: Gone With The Wind, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Gulliver’s Travels, Wuthering Heights, Of Mice and Men, The Man in the Iron Mask,

Victor Fleming directed both The Wizard of Oz and Gone With The Wind, and he won the award for Best Director for Margaret Mitchell’s novel. He wasn’t nominated for Oz. Sadly, L.

He died on May 6, 1919. ------------1 Filmsite.org. 2 The Wizard’s full name was Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, as revealed in Lyman Frank Baum’s The Annotated Wizard of Oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, W W Norton and Co. publisher. 3 Webwizard.com.

By Mike McLeod and Deborah Abernethy $567 (22 bids): Large Cigar Silk Ribbons, Folk Art Sewn Advertising Quilt Sign. Hand sewn from over 150 original Cigar Silk Ribbons, this handsewn Folk Table Cover is very impressive. I’m not even going to try and list all the different cigar names, but I have not been able to find one double. Measuring 35 inches square, all the silk ribbons are in perfect condition, except for one which does have a hole. Considering how fragile antique silk cloth is, it is surprising that it is in such good, clean condition. Around the outside edge of this Folk Art Table Cover are handmade silk tassels. The back of this table cover is also constructed from silk. There is separation to the silk on two ends as well as a couple of small stains. This silk backing is the only problem with this circa 1900 Cigar Advertising Table Cover. (Photo: eBay seller wwolst12.)
the ladies would make these silk ribbons into all sorts of craft projects. This is a large size for a cigar ribbon textile. The names of the cigar companies are prominent on the ribbons, and the hand-made tassels that surround the textile make it more valuable. While many guides would say this would be worth between $3,000 and $5,000, I could find several for sale at prices close to this eBay auction price and even one that sold on eBay in 2011 for less than $200. Even with all of this information, I feel that the buyer paid a fair price for the object. $2,950 (35 bids): W W HUFFS Linament Bottle Deep Green 4.5 inches tall, PONTIL.

“linament” on this bottle? I did find one that sold on eBay around 2002 for $1,800. There were many pontil-type bottles that I found selling below $100, so why is this one so popular? Was it the misspelling? No, apparently there were many companies that did not spell correctly in the 1850s. Other greencolored bottles with a doubletapered collar were not selling for this amount of money. The
key here is that this is a rare bottle, and there are many bottle collectors. I have no idea why this one is rare, but this bottle consistently sells for a lot of money. $3,306 (22 bids): Authentic Antique American Parlor Kinetoscope Peep Viewer With Film Reel. Patented 1897, coin slot on top, film or paper reel inside, comes with glass and mirrors, front hand crank does turn. I am not sure how this item actually operates or what repairs it needs.

Whether you are looking for a storytelling piece of war or military history, that attractive turnof-the-century cabinet, or some unique and stunning jewelry to add to your fine collection, the Scott Antique Markets is bound to have it! Both shows in Atlanta, Ga., and Columbus, Ohio, are conveniently located near freeway interchanges, large International Airports, fine dining, and ample hotels. The bustling shows in Atlanta run the second weekend of every month, twelve times a year for a weekend adventure of treasure hunting. Once you arrive, you can relax and take one of the shuttles that run between the two large expo buildings. They will happily deliver you right to the front doors. The Scott Antique Markets strives to achieve elegance, simplicity formality, and comfort. The Atlanta Expo Centers are world-class facilities that host two large main buildings, several additional buildings, outdoor exhibitor space and a large circus tent, for a whopping total of over 3,500 booths. The Garden Center is an architectural lover’s delight with both unique relics for inside the home, and artistic elements to add to your outdoor space or garden. Several events and services at the Atlanta location make the Scott Antique Markets both a reliable and convenient host. When you need to pause for a quick bite, you won’t have to venture far. The Scott Antique Market in Atlanta offers seven tasteful options from Southern Cuisine to Greek and other ethnic foods. Now let’s say you found that perfect piece but can’t haul it, or you’ve found a gift that you want delivered to that special someone.

Those that stay into the evening hours won’t be disappointed. Auctions are held every Saturday of the show at 8 pm. Many truckloads arrive each month from New England. There’s no telling what you will find. The Scott Antique Markets also host Ohio shows that are held at the Ohio Exposition Center, otherwise known as the Ohio State Fairgrounds. This show is just minutes from downtown Columbus and the Ohio State University campus. Again, here you will find anything from high-class rarities to popular collectibles; from functional primitives to traditional décor with elegant motifs.

The Only Olympic Athlete to Race Alone to the Gold by Mike McLeod In the 1908 Summer Olympic Games in London, Wyndham Halswelle found himself the only runner at the starting line for the 400 meter run. At the sound of the starting gun, Halswelle dutifully—and against his desire—ran the race by himself and broke the tape in 50.2 seconds, winning the gold medal for the British team and the first gold medal by a Scotsman. Wyndham Halswelle is the only athlete to win an Olympic race by a walkover— that is, by competing against no 1908 Olympic display by other contestants. Arthur Stockdale Cope. The 1908 Olympics were fraught with controversy and challenges from the beginning. Originally, Rome won the honor of hosting the games, but an eruption in 1906 by Mount Vesuvius—the very same volcano that destroyed Pompeii in 79 A.D. and that has erupted at least 44 times since then—caused a financial crisis for Italy and destroyed all hope of it holding the games. Bravely, London took up the baton with little time remaining to prepare. Much hinged on these Olympic Games because the two previous held in Paris in 1900 and St. Louis, Missouri, in 1904 were considered failures. In St. Louis, a marathon runner (Fred Lorz of the U.S.) was driven by car for five miles after he had cramps. He recovered, finished the race, and was almost crowned the winner before he was found out. The Olympic Games needed a winner, so to speak, to bring back the glory and restore its reputation. From the outset, this appeared doubtful. In the opening ceremonies, shot putter Ralph Rose did not lower the U.S. flag as he passed the Royal Box, perhaps in support of the Irish athletes who boycotted the games because Britain refused to allow Ireland to rule itself. Another point of contention, Finland was under Russian rule at the time, and the Finnish athletes chose to march with no flag rather than join the Russian team. Other problems included the Swedish team boycotting the ceremony because their flag was not displayed at the stadium with all the nations’ flags. The U.S. flag was also not displayed, supposedly by mistake. Like the 1904 Olympic marathon, the winner of the 1908 marathon was also disqualified. Italian marathoner Dorando Pietri fell five times in the last 350 meters was helped up by judges. A complaint was lodged and U.S. runner Peter Hayes was awarded the gold.1 Add to this turmoil Halswelle’s walkover. Wyndham Halswelle was a remarkable athlete and a great runner. He served in the Second Boer War in 1902 with the Highland Light Infantry 2. In the preliminary trials at the London Olympics, he and three U.S. runners qualified for the medal race. During it, one U.S. runner, John Carpenter, blocked Halswelle with his elbow and forced him across the track to the outer edge of the track. (Marked lanes were not used in this Olympics.) While this strategy was permissible in America at the time, it was not in international races. The race was stopped. Carpenter was booted from the competition, and his
Wyndham Halswelle’s walkover in the 400 meter race at the 1908 Olympics. (PD-1923.) teammates quit in protest. Thus, Wyndham Halswelle ran the 400 meter run by himself and won a gold medal in a walkover. To his credit, Halswelle did not think it proper to race unchallenged, but the judges pressured him to do so. Halswelle went on to serve as an officer during World War I, and after being wounded at the Battle of Neuve Chappelle in northern France, he returned to battle and was killed by a sniper. Because of his recognized athletic prowess, the Wyndham Halswelle Memorial Trophy is presented at the Scottish Age Group Championships to the winner of the 400 meter run in the Under 20 Group. As a side note, while the Olympics have been known in the past as an event for amateur athletes, that is no longer true. In the 2014 Sochi Olympics, gold medal winners received $25,000, silver medalists earned $15,000, and bronze medalists won $10,000. ------------------------ 1 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle reported on the 1908 Olympics for the Daily Mail, and he wrote of this incident: “The Italian’s great performance can never be effaced from our record of sport, be the decision of the judges what it may,” (as recorded on www. britishpathe.com where film footage of this Olympics may be viewed). The famous author went on to take up a collection for Pietri so he could open a bakery in Italy, and this effort made Pietri famous in his home country. 2 www.bbc.co.uk

Barbie and 50 Years of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue By Lori Verderame The coming together of the Barbie doll with Sports Illustrated’s annual Swimsuit Issue unites two iconic American brands. Barbie’s appearance in Sports Illustrated celebrates the 50th anniversary edition of the famous and popular swimsuit issue. And, her appearance doesn’t hurt the toy marketplace either. In the milestone issue, Barbie is shown wearing her iconic black/white swimsuit from circa 1959-60. The highly recognizable and stylish swimsuit carries a well-established secondary collectibles market value of $15 when purchased without the famous mid-century modern doll. Yes, people do collect vintage Barbie clothes, shoes, accessories (the portable storage closet, car, dream house, airplane, etc.). Barbie is a legendary toy featured in the current ad campaign for SI called “The Doll that Started it All.” The ads in the popular sports magazine will take place in conjunction with sales of a limited edition Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Barbie doll that is only available online at Target.com. The meeting of these two American brands has caused quite a stir among those who say that Barbie and the SI Swimsuit Issue portray an unrealistic female body image to young girls. On the other hand, Barbie has been seen as a model promoting important women’s issues as she demonstrates the many career choices that today’s women have in contemporary society. No matter which side of the debate you are on, this collaboration between Barbie and Sports Illustrated is attractive to many groups of active collectors. The SI Barbie set connects with collectors who are interested in collecting categories such as toys, advertising, famous companies, sports memorabilia, etc. Whenever two American brands unite like these have, the value of the related collectibles increase on the market. Why? If you can attract interest from many diverse collectors to your object, then there is greater return. So, if you are considering buying the 50th anniversary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and keeping the magazine for posterity’s sake, go for it. What’s more, if you buy the special 50th anniversary issue on newsstands now, then you may want to splurge on the $19.99 limited edition Barbie doll selling at Target.com, too. Both items will be worth more as a group. Sports memorabilia is one of the most popular areas of the vintage and antiques market. Toys are another big

collecting area so when the two came together with a milestone 50th anniversary, the collectors see opportunity. Mattel has been extending the Barbie brand in many new ways lately in an effort to keep the doll current with a generation of techsavvy American girls. Alas, the main reason for the advertising expenditure on Mattel’s part is simple. Barbie dolls did not sell as well during the holiday season of 2013 (down 13%). Media insiders say that the recent advertising positioning of Barbie coming together with Sports Illustrated highlights the many women who have started their careers as models and have made an impact as businesswomen, TV show hosts, and entrepreneurs as they matured. This current, smart advertising campaign created a new relationship between two companies that is not only causing a stir with sports enthusiasts, feminists, and media moguls, but with toy and sports collectors, too. ----------------Celebrity Ph.D. antiques appraiser, Dr. Lori is the star appraiser on Discovery channel’s hit TV show, Auction Kings.
