French Flea Market Finds by Corey Amaro

Collecting Apothecary Jars and Wares Athlophoros, a typical patent medicine for pain relief, 20th century, American. Glass bottle with paper label, cork closure, and contents; box is 7 inches high. The label reads: “Athlophoros Co. and Newton Searles, proprietor, Pomfret Center, Connecticut.” While sold from the 1880s, the box indicates: “This style label adopted June 1939.”
Bottle closure types: salt-mouth (wide-mouth) bottles held solids; tincture bottles held water or alcohol-based solutions; syrup bottles lacked a tight seal which might become frozen in place by sugar, spirit bottles held volatile materials and had a double seal, while oil bottles had a removable pouring spout to reduce drips. All bottles from Whitall Tatum & Co., ca. 1900, 10 inches high. Vapo-Cresoline Lamp, American, ca. 1900, metal and glass, 8 inches high. This oil or kerosene lamp made by the VapoCresoline Company (formed 1879 in New York City) was used to vaporize the Vapo-Cresoline product which contained a disinfectant (carbolic acid) for treatment of respiratory disorders. The product and various vaporizers, including later electric models, were available into the 1950s.
by Daniel A. Goldstein My obsession began with four apothecary bottles on my mother’s bookshelf. What was kept in these mysterious Latinlabeled containers? What was the medication used for? How did it come to be? Other forces conspired—my mother made me take Latin in high school, having no idea I was headed for chemistry, biology, and medicine. My medical school interest in therapeutics drove me to learn more, work with a pharmacologist, and pursue a fellowship in pharmacology, which grew to include toxicology as well. Looking back, I suspect my interest in those four bottles drove both my hobby and my career. My earliest collecting involved patent medicine bottles, available in infinite variety for a few dollars or tens of dollars. A favorite find, Turlington’s Balsam, the first known patent medicine in North America, cost three dollars at an antique mall in Augusta, Ga. The genre also includes tins, advertisements, trade cards, promotional items and other paraphernalia. “Patent” medicines were readily copied and thus had little ingredient labeling, were rarely patented, and had closely guarded formulas. Consequently, this genre provides more insight into the development of glassblowing and advertising than therapeutics. Bottle characteristics assist in dating and authentication, a complex topic. To assist, the Society for Historical Archeology (SHA) provides extensive free resources online (https://sha.org/bottle). Glass and ceramic apothecary containers are far more elegant. Glass containers below 12 inches in height are typically in the $20-$50 range. Ceramic containers tend to be more costly, $50-$200 for 19th or 20th century objects, but older containers often rise far above $1,000, including some from before the Christian era. To protect labels from drips, spills, and hard usage, druggists turned first to glazed ceramics and later to labels under glass, assuring that the label survived and allowing much to be said about the origin and use of the contents. Glass labels, patented in 1862, were first applied to unmodified bottles but evolved to recessed labels on specifically designed bottles. Early versions employed paper or foil labels with glass slipcovers; later versions were painted or printed directly onto glass and fused to the container. Closely related to bottles are drawer handles and cabinet pulls of ceramic, glass (with fused glass labels), metal or wood. These include labels for sundries or broad categories of products (suppositories) or materials (plants), sometimes with alphabetical references; e.g., “Foliae A~G” refers to leafy material, A through G. Whether container or pull, all commercial labels should be clean and sharp, which brings us to issues of reuse, repair and authenticity. Modern copies of containers exist, particularly of ceramics, including those from medieval times. My expertise in ceramics is limited; but note that many copies were made without ill intent. Drug companies used replica ceramic containers as advertisements, particularly Darvon, and several series of containers with historical inscriptions have been distributed as promotions. On authentic sets, wear is expected and should be uneven, with commonly used containers showing greater wear. Attempts to replicate recessed-label glass containers are rare, as doing so would be expensive and difficult. One often

Collecting Apothecary Jars and Wars, Continued from Page 3
when a series of containers carries exclusively modern terminology (arsenic, opium, cocaine for example) as finds containers which have been re-labeled, often with the opposed to traditional Latin, one should be suspect. glass cover missing, as well as glass labels on containers that Conversely, Victorian era and later items were sometimes are probably not their original destination. Poor quality labels given pseudo-Latin names; e.g., Lysol disinfectant marked are usually not original, but in “Lysolum.” Such containers are confusing but often legitimate, both circumstances, it is especially if found as part of a set. By far, the most useful clue difficult to distinguish regarding authenticity is the relationship between labeled legitimate historical contents and bottle type. The physical state of a material is relabeling to meet a druggist’s often evident from the label or can be obtained by searching on need from recent attempts to a mobile device.

material; volatiles (like ether), a doubleseal to limit evaporation; and oils, a pouring spout to reduce drips without need for a tight seal. If one finds a label for a powdered material on a small mouth bottle or other such mismatch, it strongly suggests the container was recently created or altered by someone unfamiliar with apothecary practices. Authentic containers and pulls commonly carry labels for non-drug items. Chemicals and sundries include photographic supplies, pesticides, mothballs and potpourri, fragrances and cosmetics, household cleaning products, flypapers, paints, dyes, and supplies for both medical (bandages, forceps, droppers, eye cups, atomizers, nursing and infant supplies, hot water bottles, enema bags) and personal (combs, brushes) care. Tobacco, tea and coffee containers were infrequently carried by apothecaries, resemble apothecary jars and often came from the same manufacturers. They are usually quite large to allow entry of a hand or scoop, and they often display product-related motifs such as Indians for tobacco. These were frequently reproduced and are frequently intermixed with apothecary jars by less knowledgeable dealers. Fortunately, they are distinct enough to recognize as not being apothecary wares. They usually say little about the authenticity of other assorted containers on the shelf. Apothecary wares include show globes, which are elaborate containers filled with colored liquids or powders
that serve as symbols of the apothecary trade. These command substantial prices—several hundred to many thousands of dollars for very large or elaborate containers. Copies abound, often in brightly colored glass. Authentic specimens should have ground-glass closures, and they were generally uncolored before 1920. Beware of beverage dispensers with spigots, as apothecary symbols may be added to enhance their value. Few, if any, are true show globes, although vintage specimens may have been used at the soda fountain. A morbid but colorful genre is the poison bottle, a dispensing bottle for highly toxic medications, required in the U.S. and parts of Europe from 1870 to 1930. Odd shapes, heavily textured surfaces and distinctive closures served to warn of danger when a bottle was grabbed from the medicine chest at night. While its use faded in part due to a decline in highly toxic medications like calomel, the need for the genre was ultimately eliminated by bright, convenient electric light. Poison bottles are popular enough that fakes, usually brightly colored, are common. These bottles span the introduction of automated production (1903), so carefully consider bottles with machine markings (seams running nearly to the lip of bottle or a suction ring on the bottom; see the website noted above), but many are perfectly legitimate specimens. Other attractive and fun items include: custom branded dispensing bottles embossed with a specific pharmacy or drugstore chain (collect your town, state, etc..); scales
and weights; prescriptions and ledgers; sundries; catalogs; manufacturing equipment for pills, suppositories, and troches; label dispensers; and even cabinetry, which can create a beautiful library or study. The apothecary universe would seem to have something for virtually every collector—no matter what constraints of time, space or bank balance apply. ------------------------------------------Daniel Goldstein is a pediatrician, pharmacologist, and toxicologist with a longstanding interest in apothecary wares, and he has an extensive private collection. He is the author of The Historical Apothecary Compendium—A Guide to Terms and Symbols, which is a comprehensive, illustrated handbook for collectors of American or British goods from colonial times through 1920. With more than ten thousand entries for apothecary terms, it also informs on the history of containers and labels, apothecary processes, weights and measures, therapeutic actions, disease states, Latin, alchemical symbols, bottle manufacturers and botanical terms.

Art & Antiques by Dr. Lori Tips for Home Decorating
by Lori Verderame
At my recent appraisal stage show in Tulsa, Okla. an audience member presented me with a six-page list of the tips I had provided during the show. I was a little taken aback by the volume of paper sheets filled with scribbled notes. This woman had been taking copious notes as I talked about all things art, antique, and collectible. During my shows, I appraise objects, and I use them to offer some tips about researching an object’s history, selling antiques, and museum-based preservation methods. At that particular appraisal show, I talked with residential realtors and staging professionals. I discussed how to clean out a house and put money in their client’s pocket. I talked about how staging a home for sale and integrating a clean design aesthetic can help make a home more livable, as well as more marketable. Whether you are trying to sell your home or just enjoying it for the long term, here are some of my favorite tips about managing your time and making your home warm and cozy.
weekend to tackle the attic. Remember that closets filled with items always take longer than you think. Get organized, devote time to your project, and ask family and friends for help. Collect and store in categories. When it comes to collecting antiques, museum professionals like me always stick to categories and try to collect in categories. If you are decorating using items that you already have and are in storage, try to group them by category. This will provide decorative groupings that are seasonably appropriate. When you put these items away after the season passes, consider using plastic bags (for smaller items) and plastic tubs (for larger items). Mark the bags or tubs by category like toys and games, china, glass, etc. It will make it much easier to find what you are looking for later. Big WOW. Main walls or confrontation walls, which are the first walls that you see when you enter a room, are the most important in the decorating scheme. Place an item with a big impact on these walls: a spectacular work of fine art, a superb faux paint technique or a bunch of family photos. One big statement piece is plenty. ------------------

THE SHOPS OF OCALA, FLORIDA
Ocala – located in central Florida, northwest of Orlando and southwest of Gainesville, off Interstate 75 – derives its name from the extinct Timucuan Indians, who called their village Ocali,
thought to mean “Big Hammock.” Modern-day Ocala was established in 1846 and was a rather unremarkable town until 1943, when Carl G. Rose created the first thoroughbred horse farm there. Many more followed his example, and today Ocala is known as the “horse capital of the world.” It isn’t densely populated (it’s just the 45th largest city in Fla.) but it’s well known to equestrians worldwide. And with horse people comes money, so Ocala has also become a

The Shops Of Sarasota Sarasota just may be the ultimate beach town, with its sun-kissed location on the Gulf of Mexico, more than 200 sunny days a year and an average yearround temperature of 71 degrees. But there are other reasons why Sarasota was named Best Small City to Live by Money Magazine. Sarasota County -- which includes Venice, Northport, Longboat and Siesta Keys -- is alive with culture, sports, affordable homes, a brisk job market and great schools.

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!
Oh, and did we mention it’s a haven for antique lovers? There are 44 shops, and all of them are convenient to one another. Clustered along streets with names like Coconut, Pineapple and Palm, these stores make Sarasota a must-visit destination for antiquers just looking for that next great “find.” The Fruitville district is especially worth checking out.

1894-S U.S. Barber dime, $1.99 million, Heritage/FUN An 1894-S U.S. Barber dime, Branch Mint PR66 PCGS, the finest one known, sold for $1.99 million at an auction held Jan. 7 by Heritage Auctions (based in Dallas, Tex.) at the Florida United Numismatists (FUN) Convention in Tampa, Fla. Only 24 Barber dimes were struck in 1894 at the San Francisco Mint, apparently in order to balance a bullion account.

The price includes a 17.5 percent buyer’s premium.

The Shops of Jacksonville, Fla.
It could be said that residents of Jacksonville, Florida are truly living large. It’s the largest city in the state of Florida by population, and the largest city by area in all the contiguous United States. The city was even named after a larger-than-life figure – Andrew Jackson who, before he became the seventh president of the United States, was the first military governor of the Florida Territory. Since the 19th century, Jacksonville has been a major military and civilian deep-water port, but tourism is hugely important to the city’s burgeoning economy. And with tourists come the retail shops that cater to them, and antique shops are not in short supply.

EASTBROOK by Deborah Abernethy and Mike McLeod $4,383 (32 bids, 9 bidders): Brass N & W RR Railroad Steam Classification Plates. The plates were purchased along with other railroad items on Oct. 16, 2015 from an individual who had placed a classified in the Roanoke Times. This individual started a career at N&W in 1939, and after 42 years’ service retired in December 1981. In the late 1950s, these plates were collected whenever a steam locomotive was dismantled at the N&W East End Shops in Roanoke Va. They were cleaned and polished at the shops, and then painted, making them suitable for mounting. Now at age 94, this individual has graciously provided me with a signed and dated letter of authenticity that will be included in the final sale. We are confident as to the accuracy, authenticity and source of these plates. The Plates are A, J, S1a, Y5, Y6, Y6a and Y6b. The back of the J Plate is stamped “R 607,12281”, and it also seems to be nickel-plated on the back and edges. This is the only one with this nickel plating. The back of the Y5 plate is stamped “2059.” The other plates are not stamped. Each plate measures approximately 8 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches tall, and some are thicker than others, but not by much.

DBA: Builders plates are metal plates attached to locomotives and other railroad equipment that serves an identification purpose. The Norfolk and Western Railway plates are quite collectible. Although little information is shown on these plates, the letter/number combinations identify the engine number. These steam classification plates are some of the rarest and most prized of railroad collectibles. These are legitimately only available after the equipment is placed out of service. That makes steam classification plates a very limited production object. Obviously, one must be careful as these are very collectible and valuable, those that are authentic. Several factors can be considered in this transaction: the Norfolk and Western Railway is a very popular railroad for collecting. The method of marking these is more “limited” than other railroads where much more information is “read” on the plate. The earlier plates are more valuable than the later, and these plates span a wide range of years. All considered, at a little over $600 per plate, the buyer would have received a good deal.

Measuring 4.25 inches long with a center circumference of 9 inches, this large antique Russian .84 Sterling Silver Enameled Egg was made by Pavel Akimov Ovchinnikov (1853-1916).

detailed, shaded enamel-cloisonné floral decoration. Also accenting the top and bottom of this egg are small round cabochon jewels. The large stones on the top and bottom are amethysts, and they are surrounded by 10 garnets. The inside of this .84 silver egg has a gold vermeil which does have some light wear. In the row of white enameled dots around the middle there are tiny spaces near the enamel, which happened when it was fired. There are no problems or any restorations to this authentic Pavel Ovchinnikov Russian Enamel Egg. (Photo: eBay seller wwolst12.)

DBA: While this is a good price for a sterling enameled egg, this one is really at the high end for the enamel work and jewels. My thoughts are that the buyer got a good deal in this transaction. When you compare prices for eggs, this seems in line with others, but the enameling on this egg is really nice. Pavel Ovchinnikov was a remarkable man who was born a serf yet exhibited skills that enabled him to be sent to study in Moscow (by Prince Volkonsky), and who rose to become a remarkable jeweler, goldsmith, silversmith, and businessman. He founded a school for silversmiths and goldsmiths and opened factory shops. He died in 1888 so this egg with a date mark of 1910 was by the son named Pavel Ovchinnikov who continued the business, along with several of his brothers. It is Memories Flea Antique Mall.05.11_SEA still a beautiful object, but if this was by the master, it probably would have brought more.

$3,600 (14 bids, 10 bidders): Bronze Fulton Ship Works Steamship San Francisco Hull ID Builders Plate. I have had a few antique ship builders’ plates over the years, but this is by far the earliest and most unusual. This large plate is a circa 1898 Fulton Engineering and Shipbuilding Works of San Francisco California bronze ship builder Hull ID Plate/Plaque. These were mounted in the ship as ID Plates for the hulls of steamships. This plate is dated 1898 and is for Hull No. 47 Marine Engine No. 153. It is very ornate with the beautiful font and border design and measures 25 1/2 inches wide and is 19 inches tall by 3/8 inch thick. Heavy for its size, solid bronze. It is in good condition with the only real flaw being a very slight curve to it, likely from its removal from the ship. Fulton Engineering ceased to exist in 1908, though Fulton Iron Works continued. Overall, a very nice and historical maritime item likely not to be seen again. (Photo: eBay seller gypsiegirlz.)
and is completely fresh to the market. Any previous provenance has been long forgotten, and I am not sure if this has come from a ship or a property. It is hand crafted from oak, and the level of detail is out of the top drawer, the craftsman’s chisel marks clearly visible. Unsure of exact age, but would estimate second half of the 19th century. This was thick with dust and cobwebs that I have simply brushed off. It has the appearance of limed oak, but I think this is just ingrained dust and the wood being dry. It is ready for whatever finish you decide on. There are a few age related shrinkage cracks, and the bottom inch of the piece is fragile and may need to be cut off and a new piece spliced in. There are no breaks, repairs or restorations. It is just how you would like to find it. Measurements are about 58 inches x 18 inches at its widest point. (Photo: eBay seller goofle.)
DBA: This is a rare object, and this is a retail price for it. Given that statement, I would say the buyer got a good deal as the selling commissions are quite low for eBay when compared to other types of selling commissions. I did find one offered for sale at $3,500 that was a 1919 ship.
DBA: This figure reminds me of Bacchus/Dionysius and may be a theatre artifact. I do not believe that it has any ship connection. Only female figures have been used to adorn ships. I would say the seller got a good deal as, even though this figure looks nice, I can find no similar objects selling for this amount in wood material. ---------------------Deborah Abernethy is a certified appraiser with the International Association of Appraisers.

On Trial for Scratching King Tut When the beard on King Tutankhamun’s mask was accidentally knocked off in 2014, workers in the Egyptian Museums restoration department sloppily reattached it with epoxy. Then they tried to remove the excess epoxy with metal tools, leaving permanent scratches on the priceless treasure. Fox News reported the Egyptian government is now putting eight of those workers on trial. If convicted, they will face dismissal from their jobs and fines. Specialists have now removed the beard and reattached it with beeswax, an adhesive used since antiquity.
Hair of the Presidents
Head-of-a-Pin Size Book
In the mid-1880s, a display of hair from the first 14 Presidents of the United States was donated to the Smithsonian and exhibited. Today, the display is housed in the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History. The first 14 presidents were: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore and Franklin Pierce. In the 1800s, hair was commonly kept as a memento of a person who had passed.

Tamerlane and Other Poems “by a Bostonian” is a 40page booklet of poems written by Edgar Allan Poe. It was his first (self) published work. Tamerlane, the character in the poem, is a conquering man of war who bemoans leaving his first love. Unnoticed by the literary world and the public in general, only 50 or so copies were published. However, now it is known as a missing masterpiece as the whereabouts of only about twelve are known. Published in 1827 while Poe was just 18 years old and serving in the army (to avoid starving since he had no other means of support), it has since become somewhat of a literary holy grail, selling for $662,500 in 2009 at Christie’s. Before 1900, a copy bought from a 10¢ table at a bookshop was resold for $1,000. Then another copy was found in a trunk of full of books at a yard sale in the 1950s and resold for $10,000. Next, a copy sold for $198,000 in 1990; it was also discovered mixed in with other books; the whole lot was purchased for a few hundred dollars.1 In the description for its December 2009 auction, Christie’s revealed what inspired the discovery of this copy of Tamerlane: “The present copy was first discovered in 1926 or 1927, in the New York area, and is one of only a few copies that have been discovered outside of New England. It is one of a group of five or so copies which surfaced as a result of the popular article by Vincent Starrett, “Have You a Tamerlane in Your Attic,” published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1925; Big Shanty_07.14_SEA and one of only seven surviving copies with both wrappers preserved.” The question His death was a double mystery—he was found in the street in need of assistance and wearing someone else’s clothes, it was later determined.

In 1829, Poe published Tamerlane again with other poems in Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems. He revised the poem from the first printing. If you come across a copy of Tamerlane, beware that there were facsimiles produced, and according to the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore (www. eapoe.org) the original had no table of contents.

Civil War COLLECTOR The
By John Sexton
A Confederate reunion era flag, ca. 1880, with ribbons valued at $2,000-$3,000.
My mother-in-law passed away last week in Augusta. We discovered a Confederate battle flag, approximately 29 x 29 inches. Does this have any value? Also, there is what appears to be a sewed collection of ribbons, 14 x 14. JS: Your flag and ribbons appear to be dated to circa 1880. Early authentic Confederate reunion era sewn flags are quite scarce and have sold for a broad range of prices over the years. There are numerous newly made flags sold as reunion era, most with unit designations. Many have been sold in online auctions for several hundred dollars to about a thousand dollars. The plethora of such items has hurt the market on legitimate ones, as yours appears to be from the photos, especially since it is associated with the pillow top that is embroidered with Georgia Confederate reunion ribbons. The ribbons and flag would have a presale estimate in auction for $2,000-$3,000 in my opinion and could bring more, as single, scarce ribbons have sold for several hundred dollars in past, although reunion memorabilia is less than the peak 5-10 years ago. I recently traded for this knife. I have never seen a Boyle Gamble & McAfee knife like this, fake or real. I would appreciate any help you could offer as to authenticity. It came from a long-term trader in Tennessee. I, too, am a long-time collector and had pickers coming to my house long before the TV program. I collect antique guns, Indian memorabilia, very high-end toys, watches, tools and other things. I am a retired physician, age 80, so I have been playing this game a long time.

forgeries found at flea markets and for sale on Internet. There are no knives made by Boyle & Gamble of Richmond, Virginia, of this type. Your knife actually more resembles in style a knife from the 20th century, a more popular design today, and not that of typical 19th century.
type sold in antique world for a few hundred dollars.
No Boyle Gamble & McAfee knives of this style were made by the manufacturer. I was wondering if you could possibly shed some light on an antique that my family has had for a few years now. I found this at an auction in early 2012. It was covered in dust and bird poop. It look like it had been stored in a barn. We believe it to be a Civil War field desk. From what we’ve seen/researched, it is a lot larger than other desks we’ve seen—too large for an officer. We thought that maybe it is a regimental field desk? There are faded markings in black on the front. The top says “J Kilby - 4th Va.” After much research, we found that there was a James Kilby in the 4th Virginia Cavalry during the war; although from what I’ve seen, he was only ever listed as a private. The markings on the bottom of the front of the desk say, “C32 - O.S.T.” We have never been able to find out what these markings mean. My father thought that possibly “O.S.T.” would stand for “Ordinance, Supply and Tack,” if it indeed was a regimental desk for cavalry. However, we have never found anything to corroborate this. We do not have any provenance to this item, and we unfortunately never will since it was purchased at an auction. However, could you please give us your impression of this item and if possible, what you think those markings may mean? I have contacted numerous museums, and nobody has been able to tell me what they might mean. JS: Your field desk is of the type used during the Civil War Era with many identified examples known. I did find a Capt. John T. Kilby as an original member of the 4th Virginia artillery in 1861. He later was a surgeon in several regiments, including the 3rd Georgia Infantry and the 9th Virginia Infantry as well as being a surgeon in several Richmond hospitals. This could account possibly for the name, but I have no idea of the other markings or meaning. You can find Civil War Era “traveling” field desks of this

Name This Famous Person by Mike McLeod
While Hans Christian Anderson is known around the world for his fairy tales—and well he should be since they are some of the greatest ever written—he was also a writer of novels, plays, poetry and travelogues. In a time before television, movies, radio and the Internet, Hans Christian Anderson, or “H.C. Anderson” as he is known in his native Denmark, traveled outside his home country at least 29 times over almost a decade. For fans of PBS, his travelogues of foreign countries made him the Rick Steves of the 19th century. He wrote about Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, England, Greece, France, Italy Morocco, Turkey and other faraway places.1 While the Danes were seafarers, most never left their home country, so H.C. Anderson’s writings served to help slake their thirst for knowledge about other lands. Hans Christian Anderson
Jenny Lind, the opera singer that H.C. Anderson loved.
“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, To gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote, to travel is to live.” –The Fairy Tale of My Life: An Autobiography Hans Christian was born on April 2, 1805 in Odense, Denmark, to Hans and Anne Marie Andersdatter. His father was a shoemaker, and his mother was a washerwoman. The family was poor and so was H.C.’s his initial education. He left home while a young starry-eyed teenager to become a famous actor in a theater in Copenhagen. At this and other roles in the theater, he failed. However, he was looked on kindly by a benefactor who sent him for more schooling. Although that did not go well, H.C. did find his guiding star in life to follow, which was writing. During his lifetime, he eventually wrote three autobiographies. Ironically, his early novels, O.T. and Only a Fiddler brought him notoriety, but his fairy tales did not bring acclaim in his own country until after they were well received abroad. “The whole world is a series of miracles, but we’re so used to them we call them ordinary things.”
This Hans Christian Anderson paper cut features people, faces, flowers, angels and foliage. It sold for about $40,700 and measured about 13 x 16 inches.

His other writings and many fairy tales eventually gave H.C. financial security, and later on, they brought great wealth to the Walt Disney Company. Frozen, which used H.C.’s The Snow Queen as a starting point, made $1.3 billion in ticket sales and another billion in merchandise. It is the highest grossing animated movie of all time, beating out Toy Story 3 at $1 billion. Disney also profited well from H.C.’s The Ugly Duckling and The Little Mermaid (released in 1989, grossing $111 million). Warner Bros. made his Thumbelina into a movie. The Princess and The Pea was also movie-ized. In all, Hans Christian Anderson wrote 212 fairy tales and stories, including The Emperor’s New Clothes and The Little Match Girl. “Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.” H.C. never married, but he was in love several times, usually to the unattainable. One love of his life was Jenny Lind, the famous Swedish opera singer. H.C. is believed to have written the fairy tale The Nightingale for her, and she became known as “The Swedish Nightingale.” Despite this, Jenny Lind wanted only a platonic relationship with H.C.

Reception, edited by Sven Hakon Rossel, p.3. In addition to writing, H.C. was also a talented paper-cut artist, using large scissors to cut various intricate designs out of paper. This he did while telling a fairy tale, both to entertain children and adults alike. In 2011, one of his original paper cuts with angels, ballerinas, swans and dancing clowns was sold in Copenhagen for about $40,700. On it, he wrote: “Where words fail, music speaks.”
"This paper cut is somewhat expensive the price is half a “Rigsdaler” But it is a whole cut fairy tale It will pay your kind heart." In Dutch, this rhymes. A rigsdaler was an old bank note that was replaced in 1813 after a financial crisis; therefore, it probably wasn’t worth much. Hans Christian Anderson died on August 4, 1875. He suffered from liver cancer. Today, there are several statues to him around the world, including the famous Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen. “Enjoy life. There’s plenty of time to be dead.” Ted Carlton of Utah and Scott and Carolyn Brown of Memories Flea An’Tique Mall in Prattville, Ala., correctly identified Hans Christian Anderson.

This Month in Collecting History by Mike Mc Leod March 1, 1932: On this night, Charles Lindberg’s 20-monthold son Charles, Jr. was kidnapped. His father paid a $50,000 ransom, but his son’s lifeless body was found, having suffered a blow to the head. This is surmised to have happened when the kidnapper’s ladder collapsed while taking the child out of his bedroom in a burlap bag. Bruno Hauptmann was found with most of $20,000 of the ransom money and electrocuted after a trial. The remaining $30,000 was never recovered. No accomplices were ever found, and Hauptmann never confessed or identified accomplices.

March 1 1991: Edwin Land, co-founder of Polaroid which invented the first instant-photo-developing Land Camera 95, died at 81. The first Land camera was introduced in 1948, and it can be found for just few dollars. March 2, 1879: Sam Houston was born. He is the only person ever elected to be governor of two states; for him, Tennessee and Texas. While not at the Alamo, Houston did defeat Gen. Santa Ana at San Jacinto, securing the independence of Texas from Mexico. A bowie knife he carried in the Battle of San Jacinto sold for $300,000 in 2002. March 3, 1847: Born in Scotland, Alexander Graham Bell believed his greatest invention was—the photophone, a machine for transmitting voice messages via beam of light. He demonstrated a working photophone in 1880.

March 4, 1888: “Win one for the Gipper” Knute Rockne was born in Norway. ESPN says no other college football coach has matched or beaten his 13-year record of 105-12-5, at a percentage of .881. George “The Gipper” Gipp, one of Rockne’s great players at Notre Dame, died in 1920 at the age of 25—from strep throat. A 1935 National Chicle Knute Rockne card NM has been valued at $20,000+, but much lower grades can be found for a few hundred dollars. March 5, 1770: The Boston Massacre. A print of the engraving by Paul Revere, “The Bloody Massacre perpetrated in King Street, BOSTON, on March 5th 1770, by Party of the 29th REGt.,” sold for $146,000 in 2012 at Christie’s. It did not depict the event correctly because a group of colonists attacked the British soldiers first; yet, this engraving was an instigator of the Revolutionary War. March 5, 1963: Patsy Cline died in a nose-down plane crash in inclement weather in Tennessee. Her manager Randy Hughes, who was not instrument trained, was the pilot. He and two others also died. At a 2002 auction, her dice motif dress sold for $7,500. In 2015, a signed photograph sold for $1,000 at Profiles in History.

In 2014, a previously missing Tsar Nicholas egg was auctioned for $33 million after being found by a Mid-western scrap metal dealer and bought for about $13,000. The third Imperial Egg made for Tsar Nicholas contained a Vacheron Constantin clock that popped up as the surprise. (Photo, courtesy of and copyright © Wartski, 2014. Photography by Prudence Cuming Associates.) March 14, 1879: Albert Einstein was born. Few know that in 1926, he and engineer/physicist Leo Szilard invented, of all things, a refrigerator. It had no moving parts and cooled with only a heat source. A family dying from gas escaping from an early refrigerator prompted this invention. Although rights to manufacture it were sold, it was never produced commercially due to the noise it made. It is being looked at today as an environmentally friendly refrigerator. Szilard later developed the concept of the chain reaction, and his writings led to the Manhattan Project.

IPBA 28th Annual Convention in Portland, Oregon The International Perfume Bottle Association (IPBA) will hold its 28th annual convention with a theme of “Scents, Wine & Roses.” This year’s event will be held on the West Coast in Portland, Ore., from April 27th to May 1st, at the Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront. It is the biggest event of the year for the IPBA, attracting members from countries as far away as Australia, Switzerland, England, France and Portugal. Dr. Tom Reichert will serve as the convention’s keynote speaker. He is the author of The Erotic History of Advertising and will be speaking about how the fragrance industry’s advertising taps into the human psyche and why so many perfume advertisements are erotic in nature. He will highlight how advertisers and marketers have used sex from the early days of advertising to the present. On April 30, the event is open to the public all day, and it’s free. A variety of enjoyable and interesting events are planned, to include the Perfume Bottle & Vanity Show and Sale. The show boasts a large showroom of exquisite, vintage perfume bottles and vanity items. Also on tap is an educational program titled, Collecting Perfume Bottles 101, as well as a Flea Market of Vanity Items, loaded with bargains and deals. A special appraisal session called Vanity Valuations will also be held, where all are invited to bring in a vanity item to be appraised. If unsure as to what qualifies as a vanity item, ask yourself, does it makes you look or smell good? Then it’s a vanity item. If your grandmother left you something like this or if you have a vanity item, appraisers will be on hand to help.
New to this year’s convention will be a Perfume Bottle Design Contest, which is open to all artisans, not just IPBA members. The official rules can be found on the IPBA website. Twenty-five of the top design entries will be displayed in the showroom, and the winner will be announced on April 30 at the convention. IPBA officials are looking forward to all kinds of exciting new perfume bottle designs to be showcased. On Friday evening, April 29, the longest-running Perfume Bottle Auction in the country—featuring beautiful and unusual perfume bottles and vanity items—will be held. Items will reach hammer prices ranging from $100 to thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Nicholas Dawes, an Antiques Roadshow celebrity, will return again as auctioneer. Items in the auction can be viewed at www.perfumebottlesauction. com. The IPBA isn’t about just perfume bottles. The association is growing and changing with the times as it embraces all kinds of vanity items and ephemera, including vintage purses, compacts, dresser sets, advertising and more. Many of these items go hand in hand as some compacts include perfume bottles as do purses. The IPBA has designed enjoyable, interesting and educational events for its members and the public alike. For a list of events open to the public or for more information, contact Teri Wirth at 407-973-0783 or vicepresident@ perfumebottles.org. Visit the IPBA website at www. perfumebottles.org.

Guns fit for a President, Royalty, or a Secessionist Featured at Julia’s March 14 & 15, 2016 Extraordinary Firearms Auction James D. Julia’s first Firearms Auction of the year should be another humdinger. Extraordinary arms, fabulous old time collections interspersed with some truly spectacular rarities sale value of $15-18 million dollars. From a prominent private collection is a rare cased Colt Patterson #3 belt model with extraordinarily rare 12 inch barrel. This gun, formerly owned by the Duke of Orleans was sold in the late 20th century when the effects of the last French royal family were dispersed. The Duke of Orleans was the son of King Louis Philip I and heir to the French throne. His extraordinary Paterson in superb and outstanding condition is estimated at $600,000-$750,000. From the same collection comes another superb Paterson, an extremely rare #5 Holster Model Texas Paterson complete with all accessories.

This session will include a rare President Harrison Lefever Optimist 12 gauge estimated at $75,000$125,000. Presidential guns from the south of the U.S. are also represented by an extraordinarily rare Nimschke engraved and ivory-stocked Model 1866 carbine purportedly made for Emperor Maximilian and at one time in the collection of his Excellency Porfirio Diaz, President of Mexico. This superb treasure carries a $150,000-$250,000 estimate. The highlight of the antique Colt offering is a cased, consecutivenumbered pair of exhibition quality Model 1860 Army’s presented to General Joseph Hawley. Engraved with rare ebony stocks and in almost new condition, the guns are estimated at $250,000-$350,000. This sale is extremely strong in quality Colt revolvers, and certainly the finest cartridge Colt is a magnificent factory engraved SAA etched barrel Frontier Six-shooter with pearl grips, shipped to Charles Hummel & Sons, San Antonio, Texas, in 1885. This black powder gun includes the original holster and belt that were purchased at the time. In very fine condition, it is estimated at $100,000$125,000. An exceedingly rare Columbus
Confederate revolver is one of only three specimens known to survive; this being the finest and estimated at $150,000$200,000. A LeMat SN# 8, the personal side arm of Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard is not only in extraordinary condition but is believed to be probably one of the finest condition Confederate revolvers known. This truly spectacular gun replete with a holster is estimated at $200,000$300,000. A Texas Confederate revolver, a Sisterdale Texas Dragoon Army Revolver with its original horn grips, is estimated at $150,000-250,000. Another great rarity is a Texas L.E.

Asheford Institute Celebrates Half-Century Milestone While not quite considered an “antique” just yet, the Asheford Institute of Antiques, a professional-level distance learning program on antiques, collectibles, and appraising, turned fifty recently, marking a milestone in antiques and appraising education, as the longest running Institute of its kind. Although the school premiered its home-study program to the antique world in late 1965, it didn’t officially open its doors to students until 1966. “We’ve seen an awful lot of changes since our inception” said Peter Green, the Institute’s original founder. Green, who started the school based on the notion that there was a need for antique and appraisal education, said he could hardly believe how the antique and appraisal services market had grown over the past 50 years: “I can remember when antique stores were hard to find. Now, you can tap your phone and find virtually anything instantly!” During the 1980s, Green’s son Charles took over the day-to-day operations of Asheford and is the school’s current director. When asked what he thought represented the Institute’s high-water mark over the past 50 years, Green unabashedly responded that the introduction of the school’s new online e-Course earlier this year was a game-changer for antique and appraisal education in general. “The e-Course allowed us to bring a half-century worth of teaching expertise to a new and expanded format,” he said.
“With the ability to use online interactive multimedia for instruction, we’ve really been able to raise the bar in antiques and appraising education for our students.” Green went on to say that although online instruction had obviously become the new norm, the textbook version would still be offered for a number of years to come. As part of the school’s year-long celebration, staff from the Institute will also participate in a traveling roadshow to commemorate the school’s 50th anniversary. Plans include tours of major antique events and shows throughout North America and will incorporate free appraisal clinics, business seminars and evaluations to mark the Institute’s anniversary. “We really want to give something back to our students and those interested in antiques,” said founder Pete Green, “It’s been a great privilege to teach so many; it’s just our way of saying thanks.” Exact dates for upcoming events have yet to be released but are expected to be announced later this month, according to school spokesperson, Pamela Drew.

Highly Anticipated Pottery Festival Coming March 26 The Catawba Valley Pottery and Antiques Festival has been bringing potters and antiques to the Catawba Valley area for 18 years. This year, the event is held on Saturday, March 26 at the Hickory Metro Convention Center in Hickory, from 9a.m. to 5p.m. Each year, more than 115 potters and vendors offer their wares and antiques for purchase to the public. Items include historical pottery, textiles, folk art, baskets, furniture and miniature items with contemporary potters selling items ranging from coffee mugs to amazing works of art. Tickets to the Festival are $6, ages 12 and under $2, and can be purchased at the door. The Festival also includes featured programming such as pottery videos, demonstrations and an annual lecture presented by a special guest. This year’s lecture will be given by Terry Zug. A short illustrated talk on the history of swirl ware, “Swirl Ware: The Catawba Valley’s Art Pottery,” will highlight examples from ancient China to Europe to the present day Catawba Valley. Swirlware is a style of pottery made by pulling up two or more contrasting colors of clay, creating a swirling pattern on the vessel. Immediately following the lecture, Catawba Valley potters Steve Abee and Charlie Lisk will give a demonstration and discuss the production of swirl ware. The lecture is at 11a.m. and is included in the ticket price.
Weirdest C ollectibles Ever You have probably heard that just about everything is collected. The website Atchuup has proof. It features collectors (http://m.atchuup.com/weirdest-collection-of-things-ever) and
Prior to Saturday’s event, a preview party will be held Friday, March 25, from 7p.m. to 10 p.m. This unique fund-raising event not only offers guests an early buying opportunity but also offers a catered Southern Supper and live music by the Sigmon Stringers. Tickets are $45 and must be purchased in advanced by March 18. The Catawba Valley Pottery and Antiques Festival began in 1998 with a mission to showcase the history of Catawba Valley alkaline glazed stoneware and the potters who continually produce this traditional utilitarian ware. Development and growth have allowed the Festival to include potters from across the state and the South, as well as dealers offering historical pottery and antiques, providing a context for understanding the history and use of pottery in the South. The Festival is a non-profit event benefiting the Historical Association of Catawba County in Newton and the North Carolina Pottery Center in Seagrove. More than $500,000 have been donated to the institutions over the past 18 years. For more information on the Catawba Valley Pottery and Antiques Festival, call 828-324-7294, or visit www. catawbavalleypotteryfestival.org.

CollectorCorkscrews.com’s Next Internet Auction is April 15-May 1 CollectorCorkscrews.com operates twice yearly auction sales for better corkscrews and continually has lower-priced items available in the “buy now” section of the website. Operated by collectors on a voluntary basis, CollectorCorkscrews.com maintains a public database of more than 11,000 corkscrews sold on the site since 2008. It is an invaluable research tool for buyers and sellers. The next auction sale is scheduled for April 15-May 1, with more than 900 antique and collectible corkscrews selling for between $100 and $5,000 or more. What makes collectors compete for a corkscrew that ends up selling for thousands of dollars? There’s no one answer. In a recent www.CollectorCorkscrews.com auction, very different styles of corkscrews excited collectors and attracted high bids. One was the classical 19th century English mechanical corkscrews. These are the cornerstone of most good collections internationally. They are smart-looking and typically made of brass or polished steel with finely turned wood or bone handles.
Other highly collectible corkscrews have little visual appeal. Instead, the attraction comes from its rarity and ingenuity, particularly with a patent. For example, a little multi-tool corkscrew in the November auction that also served as a keyring was frankly underwhelming, but its inventor, Justus Browning, received a U.S. patent in 1911 for the nail clipper feature. Though the corkscrew itself is basic, and only a few examples are known. So for that reason, the final price was a robust $1,860. Many simple but ingenious multi-tools and other devices with corkscrews are marked with U.S. patent details, particularly from that great period of invention between the U.S. Civil War and World War I. Most are worth only a few dollars, but if a quick Google search only reveals the patent details and no eBay sales, it is worth further research. A search of the CollectorCorkscrews.com database will reveal hundreds of U.S. patent sales ranging from $100 to $25,000.
This Month in Collecting History, Continued from Page 38 March 19, 1813: African explorer and medical missionary David Livingstone was born in Scotland. He was one of the most famous people in Britain in the 19th century. In 2015, his Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa published in 1857 was auctioned for £3000 by Rogers Jones & Co. in Wales—after being purchased at a car boot (trunk) sale for £1. It was autographed and inscribed by Livingstone to a friend. Also this day, Wyatt Earp was born in 1848. His .45 caliber revolver, believed to have been carried at the shootout at the O.K. Corral, was sold by J. Levine Auction in Scottsdale, Az., for $225,000 in 2014. March 21, 1865: Johann Sebastian Bach, father of 20 children was born. In 2014, Christie’s auctioned a section of the cantata BWV 188, “Ich habe meine Zuversicht,” circa October 1728, for $347,746. March 23, 1775: Patrick Henry gave his famous speech saying, “Give me liberty or give me death,” which also helped to inspire the American Revolution. A Patrick Henry autographed letter sold for $2,390 in 2008 at Heritage Auctions. March 24, 1874: Erik Weisz was born in Budapest, Hungary. With a little magic, he changed his name to Harry Houdini and became a magician, aviator and movie actor and producer. In 2014, a Potter and Potter Auction of his memorabilia materialized $440,000, including his Double Fold Death Defying Water Mystery box that disappeared for $55,000. March 30, 1853: Vincent Van Gogh was born in Holland. Recognized now as a great artist—but never during his lifetime—Van Gogh was a voracious reader, and he also translated the Bible into French, German and English, according to the Vincent Van Gogh Gallery (www.vggallery.com). His Portrait of Dr. Gachet sold for $84 million in 1990, about $150 million today. Portrait of Dr. Gachet
March 31, 1878: Jack Johnson, the first African American to earn the title of heavyweight boxing champion, was born in Galveston, Texas. In 2013, his signed boxing glove from the 1930s hit $9,560 at Heritage Auctions.
Jack Johnson March 31, 1855: The writer of Wuthering Heights Charlotte Bronte was born. In 2011 and 2012, two previously unknown portraits of her came up for auction. The first, called the “Bonnet Painting” because she wore a bonnet in it, sold for £23,836. The second, an oil measuring 13 x 9.5 inches and known as the “Humbert portrait” after J.P. Humbert Auctioneers in Northhampstonshire, UK (even though Humbert sold both) auctioned for £4,600. Photo: The “Humbert” portrait of Emily Brontë.
