‘Bookshelf’ is not what it seems

T

his is not a bookshelf full of books. It is an antique tin box that held cookies (called biscuits) in England about 1905.

Grocery stores in the past were very different. The use of automobiles, starting about 1910, changed the way folks shopped.

Before 1900, grocery shopping was done at a street where farmers gathered to sell their produce. Then the markets moved into large buildings that rented space where farmers and customers bartered for food. Some farmers moved to residential suburbs and opened small grocery stores. They sold staples, such as flour, sugar and tea, as well as fresh food. Clerks took the order and packed it.

But in 1916, the first supermarket was built in Memphis, Tennessee, and customers were able to choose their items, put them in a cart and take it to a cashier. That led to branding with eye-catching packaging and the modern chains of grocery stores.

Huntley & Palmer, an English bakery, created tin boxes by the 1850s to ship and sell their boxed cookies, called biscuits, so they wouldn’t get broken.

They started making the figural – and now very collectible – tins in 1894 and made hundreds of different shapes. The bookcase tin was made in 1905, and this top-quality example sold recently for $270.

A.

Autumn Leaf pattern was made by several companies. It was made exclusively for the Jewel Tea Company, a home shopping service, by Hall China from 1933 to 1978. Some kitchenware and teapots were reintroduced in 1985 and sold in retail stores. The Autumn Leaf wall pocket was made by China Specialties, a company in Strongsville, Ohio, that began offering limited edition pieces of Autumn Leaf in new shapes in 1990. They were made in Asia and are marked “Genuine China Specialties.” They sell for less than $30.

Q. I have an antique pho-

nograph handed down to me from my grandfather. It looks like a standing Victrola, but the tag says it’s an Almaphone. I can find no information on this, except an excerpt from a 1918 book “The Music Trades,” which says the Rhodes-Burford Company was handling it at that time. I’m interested in selling it, but have no idea what it’s worth. It’s in working condition (the records play well), but a wood slat was replaced in the front and there are repairs to one of the legs. It’s also missing the part that controls the volume.

A.

There are hundreds of different figural tin boxes that were made to hold the cookies by the English biscuit company Huntley & Palmer. They are often sold to be used as attractive boxes, but there are also serious collectors bidding for them at sales. This box sold for $270.

Sebring Pottery was in business in East Liverpool, Ohio, from 1887 until 1948.

The mark with an outline of Ohio was used from about 1925 to about 1942. Toledo Delight is the name of the pattern.

Plates and other pieces of this pattern sell at online shops. A 6-inch plate sells for about $15, a 13-inch platter for $29.

UST IN TIME FOR warm-weather entertaining, this octagonal picnic set project is the perfect complement to any patio or deck. A good choice for any outdoor space—no matter how large or small—the design seats eight adults comfortably in a small footprint.

Inexpensive, sturdy and simple to build, the set consists of three basic components—table, bench and stool. Made from redwood (as pictured; other species will also work), the project requires only common tools and is simple enough for most woodworkers, even beginners.

The entire set can be finished in a weekend or two.

To build, simply cut out the pieces (the curved cuts are traced from full-size patterns), sand, assemble and apply finish.

The set pictured here has two double benches and four single stools, but separate materials lists and cutting schedules leave the combination of benches and stools up to the builder. The finished table measures 55 inches across and stands 30 inches high, and the stools are 20 inches wide by 18 inches high.

The Octagon Picnic Set plan, No. 840, is $9.95 and includes step-by-step

Actor Christopher Meloni, who will soon be back on the case in an upcoming “Law & Order” spinoff, has put his home in the Hollywood Hills on the market for $6.495 million.

Television viewers may be familiar with the East Coast-inspired home, which doubled as a set for “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” in the 1950s and 1960s.

Meloni bought the place six years ago and has updated the interiors while retaining a wealth of character details.

Delicate wainscoting, textured wall coverings, French doors and three fireplaces are among features of note. A classic center hall sits beyond the red-hued front door.

A wide island/bar anchors the chef ’s kitchen, which opens to a breakfast room.

A formal living room, media room, dining room, five bedrooms and seven bathrooms fill up nearly 5,300 square feet of space.

The house, built in 1916, sits on just shy of half an acre with brick patios, lawn and a kidney-shaped swimming pool. A charming guest house, designed to evoke the main residence, sits next to the pool area.

struction journal to stay on top of the project and to give them a record with contractors when something goes awry.

“Keeping a journal has really helped me,” Pierce wrote in a Washington Post column in July. “If things go badly, it can be useful in court or arbitration. Contractors, especially shady contractors, are good at complicating the issue or adding doubt in your mind. They blame delays and increased costs on the weather, additional work, inspectors and the client. You may be shocked to receive $10,000 in change orders at the final accounting. This is impossible to unravel six weeks down the road. It’s best to note things as they happen and share milestones and your understanding of them with the contractor.”

Pierce said the journal should include the start date, major milestones, inspection dates, subcontractor work schedule and change orders.

Old Las Palmas, the gated mansion spans 13,400 square feet and also includes a guest apartment, a tennis court and a glass mosaic swimming pool set among gardens, palm trees and drought-tolerant landscaping.

Entered via porte-cochere, the main home holds seven bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms and five fireplaces spread across a single story. Hardwood floors, arched doorways, skylights and coffered ceilings adorn the common spaces, which include a green-and-yellow kitchen and a spacious living room.

Outside, the 1920s home wraps around a central courtyard complete with loggias, lounges, a pool, spa and mountain views. A three-car garage, plus the original one-car garage, complete the property.

The ranch was of many properties that Autry and his wife, Jackie, bought throughout Southern California. In addition to owning the Angels baseball team for 36 years, their other holdings included a TV station, multiple radio stations, a Palm Springs hotel, a midcentury condo and an Encino mansion that later sold to “Survivor” host Jeff Probst.

Autry, who died in 1998, had a TV show bearing his name from 1950 to 1956 and was in scores of films.

His signature song, “Back in the Saddle Again,” was used in the 1939 film “Rovin’ Tumbleweeds” and became the theme song for his radio show, which ran from 1940 to 1956. His biggest hit song was “Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer.”
