hawaii antigues, art & collectibles quarterly-summer- 08

T rue to his craft, Don Severson’s office is full of Hawaiian artifacts, rare books, and valuable paintings. Originally from Oregon,

Severson sailed through the South Pacific in his youth and came to the islands during statehood in 1959. Severson fell in love with tahiti and its rich culture and brought tahitian fabrics and designs with him to Hawaii.

Inspired by tahiti’s allure he opened tahiti Imports in 1963. tahiti Imports was a booming business in the International marketplace of Waikiki which specialized in custom-made bikinis and pareus. In 1965, Severson opened Hawaiian antiquities. With more than 40 years of experience as an antiques dealer and businessman, Severson now

owns and operates two corporations in Hawaii, Severson enterprises and Hawaiian antiquities. today, tahiti Imports is the name of the Waimanu Street business he and his wife Betty operate. Betty is the president of tahiti Imports. Severson’s wife is of Hawaiian blood and her lineage includes pig hunters from kauai who have uncovered and collected various Hawaiian artifacts. the family connection sparked Severson’s interest in antiques and

from there, he began to buy and sell artifacts.

a s o n e of the f i r s t a n t i q u e s dealers in Hawaii, Severson faced almost no competition in 1965. although competition has increased over the years, Severson expresses confidence in the fabrics, clothing and products of tahiti Imports and the antiques of Hawaiian antiquities. In addition, Severson’s painting collection is increasing in value over time. “Over the past forty years, the value of good oil paintings in Hawaii has increased several hundred times,” says Severson. He explains these paintings out-perform the stock market and give the owner the advantage of living with art that continues to increase in value. Severson said the one thing antiques collectors or aspiring collectors should know is to “never collect anything made for collectors (with value in mind).” Beanie babies and state quarters are prime examples. Severson also works as an appraiser, specializing in Hawaiian and Pacific material. He has written appraisals for many of Hawaii’s esteemed institutions including the Bishop museum and the Honolulu academy of arts.

WHAT’S NEW IN OLD CAMPAIGN BUTTONS?

By Robert Reed [email protected]

Presidential campaign buttons. They use to give them away. Then they gave them only to a special few, and sold others for a modest fee. Today they are produced in limited numbers if at all.

It would be hard to imagine the breathless excitement of finding an authentic campaign button bearing the likeness of Abraham Lincoln, much less one with his running mate too. Some say the elaborate design of campaign buttons, or pin

backs, may have peaked in the early 1960s with the likes of Richard Nixon. Some of better choices bore a clear photo of Nixon along with a dangling plastic elephant and red ribbon. Generally speaking, they just don’t make them like that anymore.

Tin photos were used on campaign buttons back in 1860, and it was the first year candidates images were featured on anything other than fabric or paper.

Campaign buttons have been long held in favor by collectors because they are historic, attractive, easy to carry, and they can appeal to just about any political view that ever existed.

Officials of the Waterbury Company Button Museum in Waterbury, Connecticut have authenticated more than two dozen button designs

that honored the inauguration of George Washington. These political items really were buttons and were designed

to be sewn onto the clothing. Among the “GW”, buttons, many carried the president’s initials or simply the phrase, “Long

Live the President.” These classic buttons are treasured and worth hundreds of dollars if not thousands of dollars today, however the real thrust of campaign buttons has only come in the past 100 years. The first modem era campaign buttons appeared during the 1896 White House race between William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan. These particular buttons could be easily fastened-to clothing with a pin and were made of celluloid. Handsome photographs of the candidates were also included. And most buttons from the 1890s on are not completely out of reach to collectors according to Marc Sigoloff author of Collecting Political Buttons (Chicago Review Press). “When I say my oldest buttons are of McKinley and Bryan from the 1896 election, people seem astonished,” he notes. “Little do they realize that many buttons from the first presidential election which they were given widespread use remain relatively common, and many are obtained for under $10.” On the other hand, Sigoloff and other dealers can point out some Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale buttons from as recently as 1984 that are both scarce and highly prices. “Button collectors are explorers and their journey through unknown territory is a never-ending source of enjoyment,” says Sigoloff “Large bank accounts

are not really a prerequisite; even the average collector on a limited budge can put together a museum quality

display.” As seen in the example of Lincoln and Hamlin, a portrait button gains value if it depicts both the presidential and vice-presidential candidates together.

Such buttons are known as jugate, from the Latin word for yoke. One rare exception to the regular collecting of

political buttons that is no ‘yoke’ is the fabled Cox-Roosevelt jugate. This special 1920 campaign button, issued when James Cox ran with Franklin Roosevelt,

first hit a record $33,000 during an auction of political Americana in 1981. It has appreciated considerably since that time.One senior citizen in Iowa has a fine collection of Roosevelt, Dewey, Wilkie, and Truman. “I am

particularly fond of the 1930s and 1940s when I was first active in politics,” she comments. “You can still find them, but you have to watch out for reproductions now.” The prize of her collection is a 1940 button saying “On Our Way” with a beaming GOP elephant sliding to victory at the polls on an arrow extending from Maine to California. A collector in Ohio has accumulated over 200 buttons in the past 25 years. The vast majorities were simply gathered up during the presidential election campaigns of the past. But he admits, “They use to give them away at the party headquarters during the campaign, in later years they asked $1 to $3 for them.” United States history professor Alice Almond-Shrock of Earlham College observed in the late 1980s that such campaign buttons had a very long-standing American connection. “The popularity of buttons (celluloid ones), as opposed to badges or other kinds of paraphernalia, boomed in the 1890s with Bryan as the Democratic populist,” she explained. “Soon the Republicans had their own buttons too, and the relationship has lasted ever since.” Many individual presidential campaigns do vary in terms of price and availability. Truman, for example, who won an upset victory in 1948, is much more difficult to locate than his opponent Thomas Dewey or his prior running mate FDR. On the other hand, John Kennedy buttons are still very plentiful, but collectors have to be careful to sort out the maze of recent reproductions. And there are those who collect only losers. “Keep in mind;” observes one dealer in Florida, “that often the losers are more in demand than the winners. This list would Include Goldwater-Miller, MacArthur, Muskie, William Randolph Hearst, and Bobby Kennedy. Another possibility is regional-related buttons that perhaps promote a Congressman in North Carolina and his party’s candidate for the White House. American Political Item Collectors president Norman Lowenstem advised during the last presidential election that the best buttons to collect were “the ones tying in local candidates, groups or issues with the presidential campaign.” “One of the most famous examples,” points out

Lowenstem, “is the button issued when Lyndon Johnson was a Congressman, saying me and Roosevelt for

Lyndon. Today they are worth hundreds.” What many consider the ‘golden era’ of political buttons ran during the

20-year period from 1896--when they started—untiI1916, and those are treasured. Prices favor generally celluloid buttons over lithographed buttons, and condition is a major factor.

The best of the rest are typically the larger and more colorful buttons of the latter 20th century with both presidential and vice presidential runners at least identified, if not pictured, on them.

Are There Wicked Wicker Salespeople Out There?

A loha and welcome to the Summer Edition of The Hawaii Antiques Art and Collectibles Quarterly. It’s said that time

flies when you are having fun. I’d like to say that time goes faster when you don’t watch the clock. Okay, it may be a bit like watching a pot of water and waiting for it to start boiling. It sure doesn’t seem like it’s been over eight months since Julie and I visited the mainland to be participants on the Antiques Roadshow. Since the last issue of this publication we’ve received a slew of questions relating to the Roadshow and how it works. We’ll try and answer at least one of them along with some general questions relating to collectibles and collecting.

So here we go….

QUESTION: My family is planning a trip to the southern US and we want to attend one of the “miles and miles of garage sales.” Do you have any suggestions?

ANSWER: It depends on when you are going and where in the South you’re heading but we’ve heard from reliable sources that the 400 miles sale through Kentucky is as “good as it gets”. The Antiques, Collectibles and STUFF 400 Mile Sale runs across Kentucky from Paducah to Maysville and back. This sale rambles through sixty communities and twenty-four counties on the Historic Hwy 68/80. Along the route there are over 200 antique shops, 11 state parks, all kinds of Civil War sites, museums, arts and crafts events and shops along with countless rest stops and unique southern dining venues. There are also a number of good bed and breakfast places for rest and sustenance. I’ve heard stories of people buying something and then selling the same item further down the road making hundreds of dollars in a sort of mini Cadillac Jack maneuver. This is a full four day event that has its own website at www.400mile.com/ or you can call (270) 781-6858 to get a free map and brochure. This can surely be a “shop-til-you-drop: experience that usually takes place at the end of May and beginning of June each year. Have fun and we hope this turns out to be a great collectible experience and memory.

QUESTION: I was recently at a garage sale and saw a comfortable looking white lounge chair for sale. The owner said it was a wicker chair and that it was a few years old but in good condition. As I walked up to the chair I sensed that it was fabricated out of plastic strands to look like old style white wicker furniture. I told the owner that it was made of plastic, not wicker as he had claimed. He said when he bought the chair it was sold to him as an all-weather, indoor-outdoor wicker lounge chair. I told him that he was misled because it looked like a piece of wicker furniture but it was actually a plastic copy of a wicker chair. He didn’t seem concerned and started attending to other potential customers. I walked away wondering why some people would prefer to live in ignorance rather than become knowledgeable. Then the other day I was in new furniture store and saw a similar chair also described as an “all-weather, indoor-outdoor wicker patio set”. The salesperson was busy with too many “real customers” so I just left wondering how these people could misrepresent what they were selling with impunity. Do you have any thoughts on this matter?

ANSWER: I’m wondering how to respond to your thoughts and what I can say to ease your pain over what you believe are “deceptive product descriptions”. First of all, with furniture, wicker is basically a process and not a material. The process is in the weaving of a pliant fl exible material (traditionally a pliant plant material) over a frame of some kind creating a structure strong enough to support some weight like a chair or a table. Historically wicker furniture can be traced back to ancient Egypt but it became popular in the modern western world during the Victorian period in the late 1800’s. Traditionally the materials used in wicker works were natural fi bers including rattan but in modern times the weaving of wicker furniture has included utilizing both manmade and synthetic materials such as plastic. So living in ignorance may sit on your shoulders and it’s probably a good thing you made this inquiry before you confronted a wicked wicker salesperson about their “deceptive product labeling”. By the way I scoffed at the thought of acquiring a plastic wicker lounge chair for our deck but since getting it I’ve learned to appreciate it. When it rains the water goes right through it and if it gets dusty you can just hose it down. I call this wiki wiki wicker washing.

QUESTION: I have a restaurant tiki mug “Made in Japan” with the name Otagiri. Have you ever heard of this brand of tiki mugs and are they rare and valuable?

ANSWER: Many tiki mug collectors recognize the name, Otagiri. Otagiri Mercantile Company was contracted in the 1960’s to make tiki mugs for many restaurants, bars and other venues with a “Polynesian” theme. Many had Otagiri printed on their base but others were marked only with a gold foil paper label with OMC and Japan. Otagiri was bought out by Enesco in the early 1990’s and now mark their products differently. Besides making tiki mugs Otagiri also made a lot of the ceramic bric-a-brac like vases, fi gurines and spoon rests. If your tiki mug has the name of a restaurant it probably means that there are a lot of them out there which may temper its value. But if it’s from a famous establishment and has a good design and features, it may be a desirable item and have high collector value.

QUESTION: I realize that the series of US state quarters are going to end in 2008 and that Hawaii will be the last one issued. I thought it might be a nice thing to casually collect since my grandson was born in 2008. I started picking up one of each state earlier this year and have been doing okay fi nding the coins issued in the last couple years. My question is how can I fi nd the earlier coins to fi ll in the state coin chart?

ANSWER: I agree that collecting state coins is an interesting way to learn history and geography (they are issued in the order that the states entered the union) as well as some interesting and unique things about each particular state by learning what the symbols and graphics on each coin means. It’s also a good and novel way to save money. To fi nd the coins you need to fi ll in the chart you may take one of several approaches. You can go to a stamp and coin shop where you can expect to pay a premium for the coins or you can go to a coin show where you might be able to strike a better deal with and independent non-store based dealer. You could try collectible shops but they often have a limited inventory of stamps and coins. Or you could just go to your local bank and buy $20.00 worth of quarters at a time and search through them to fi nd the earlier coins you need. Then you can sell the balance of the quarters back to the bank while buying another $20.00 worth until you fi nd all that you need. Make it a family project and have fun doing it. This last approach will be the most economical cost wise since a quarter that you save will only cost a quarter plus a little time and energy.

QUESTION: Our family almost always watches the PBS program, Antiques Roadshow. Although we’ve never seen you on camera we now know why from your explanations in past columns. We were very fortunate to get tickets to attend the Antiques Roadshow when it visited Honolulu a few years ago. At the “triage” desk we realized that there were a lot of categories that the triage people used but we’ve never been able to discern how many categories are utilized and what they are. Can you tell us?

ANSWER: I hope your experiences with the Antiques Roadshow are collectible positive memories as are ours. The Roadshow utilizes over twenty categories in each show and I actually counted 25 categories that the producers and generalists (triage personnel) can choose from. Here they are in alphabetical order:

Antiquities1. Arms and Militaria2. Asian Art3. Books and Manuscripts4. Clocks and Watches5. Collectibles6. Decorative Arts7. Dolls8. Folk Art9. Furniture10. Glass11. Jewelry12. Metalwork and Sculpture13.

The producers also have up to seventy-fi ve appraisers on hand at each venue many of whom can work in multiple categories.

As a follow-up regarding the 2008 Antique Roadshow tour, we were offered an opportunity to participate in the Wichita Kansas Roadshow but had to decline due to a scheduling confl ict with one of our co-workers. So as a compensatory move we started planning a European trip and hope we can re-visit some of the places and people we knew when we lived there in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. A European Shop-a-log should be an interesting adventure and project.

But in the meantime here are a couple shows that may pique your interest. First there’s the Hawaii All-Collectors Show ’08 which takes place on July 18th and 19th. Hours are Friday 3:00-9:00 pm with early entry at

2:00 pm. Saturday’s hours are from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. There are discount coupons in the media ads and discount fl yers at selected shops including Antique Alley. For more information call (808) 941-9754.

Like a Phoenix rising from its ashes,

Primo beer has returned. It is now available in many of the stores and bars around town. the last time Primo was popular in Hawaii was in the mid seventies, over thirty years ago. Fashionable or not, there are those who have always loved anything Primo. Jason Kehoe is one such fellow.

He recalls that he was eight or nine when he was first exposed to Primo. (not in a drinking way, but in an aesthetic appreciation kind of way.) He first saw the famous Primo logo in his grandfather’s bar. His grandfather had set up a bar in his garage where he would sit and shoot the breeze with his friends drinking Primo and “Oly.” (Olympia Beer). Young Jason recalls

walking in and seeing the Primo clock and thinking it was really cool. He liked the striking image of the Hawaiian king in royal blue on the white face of the clock. at that moment he was hooked, and he started collecting all sorts of Primo paraphernalia. Fast forward thirty years later, and today he has the largest Primo collection in Hawaii and one of the largest collections in the world.

A HUMBLE START He is a very humble guy. He has four brothers and is a middle child. His dad worked in the Pearl Harbor shipyards as a machinist. His dad would take them to the beach a lot and take his older brother dive fishing. Because he was not old enough to dive, his dad would leave him on the beach to watch his younger brothers and keep them out of trouble. He spent a lot of time waiting for his father and older brother to return. But rather than order his brothers around, or build sand castles, or play in the water, all pleasures enjoyed through

living in the moment, he would collect puka shells. He like to look for the largest possible shells he could find, and in those

days puka shells were plentiful. He would collect his treasured shells and keep them in a paper cup. later he would make puka shell leis for

his family and friends. the leis he made and gave away number in the hundreds.

THE GUYFASHIONABLE OR NOT, THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE ALWAYS LOVED ANYTHING PRIMO

POGS He also collected the original antique Pogs. He used to show them and was gaining recognition as having put together an outstanding collection. then in 1993 a burglar broke into his house and stole his Pog collection. they took nothing else. they didn’t take the t.V., stereo, or his wife’s jewelry. they only took his pog collection. He has since learned his lesson and no longer keeps his collections in his house. In addition he has installed a high security alarm system as well.

GIVING BACK He is very fit and though he does not compete in mixed martial arts, he helps to shuttle youth along the Waianae coast to the gym so that they can practice and compete. He does it because he knows it makes the kids feel good to be working towards a goal, and it gives them something to do which helps them to stay out of trouble. He knows that, deep down, their parents are glad that he helps their kids be involved in productive activities. right now he is very happy with his Primo collection. His investment of time

and money has produced one of the largest Primo collections in the world. He would never consider selling it by the piece but would rather let it go as a whole collectionin order to maintain its integrity. Being that Primo is now fashionable again, someone might be really eager to buy it. So I asked him what he might consider selling it for. He didn’t really know, but he said perhaps about fifty thousand. like all collectors he gets a lot of joy from just having it. I’m sure he’s amused that some people are finding Primo collect ably fashionable again. He hasn’t stopped collecting Primo in over thirty years.

Jason recalls walking in and seeing his

grandfathers Primo clock; He liked the striking image

of the Hawaiian king in royal blue on the white face of the clock. “At that moment he was hooked”{

INSIDE ANTIQUE’S Book Reviews- 2008

The latest on what’s in print compiled by Antique and Collectible News Service.

Fiesta book as colorful As the enduring ware itself

Warman’s Fiesta book by Glen Victorey is every bit as bright and colorful as the enduring ware itself. The volume includes more than 700 full color photographs, and if 20th century Fiesta ware is anything at all it is color.Between 1936 and 1972 lovely Fiesta was produced in 14 major colors according the author, a collector of the ware for more than a quarter of a century. Fiesta’s “original” colors included cobalt blue, light green, ivory, red, turquoise, and yellow. The decade of the 1950s saw Fiesta expand to chartreuse, forest green, gray, rose, and ultimate medium green.

“In many pieces, medium green is the hardest to find and the most expensive Fiesta color,” observes Victorey.No Fiesta was produced form 1972 to 1985. Later the makers of Fiesta, Homer Laughlin China Company, added antique gold, mango red, and turf green; plus the striped, decal, and Lustre pieces.Even the established colors of the famed ware can vary somewhat according to the author. “Some glazes have several shades, to the point that even seasoned collectors and antiques dealers may mistake an especially heavy light green glaze for the more rare medium green,” according to Victorey. “Some glazes are also prone to mottling, including turquoise and—to a lesser degree---red. Cobalt blue and turf green pieces tend to show even the slightest scratches more obviously than lighter glazes, and ivory examples often exhibit cloudy, yellowish, or sooty spots along the rims and bases.” Warman’s Fiesta by Glen Victorey, color illustrated with current prices, softcover, 256 pages, is $24.99 plus shipping from Krause Publications, 1-800-258-0929.

Solid-Colored Dinnerware Book Is Rainbow Of Items The newly released Solid-Colored Dinnerware reference book provides a rainbow of items for the collector.Virtually all of those delightful dinnerware lines are included from the middle years of the nation’s 20th century. It revisits those dandy decades from the 1930s to the 1960s when American-made solid-color dinnerware graced tables around the country. Most collectors agree that it was the popularity of Depression glass that steered potteries in the direction of colored glazes according to author Mark Gonzalez. “Towards the late 1930s, the older

Depression glazes were replaced by one or two sets of colors,” notes Gonzalez, “the bold Fiesta-types and pastel glazes. The Fiesta-type glazes remained popular until the late 1940s when they were replaced by darker, more modern colors. Pastel glazes continued to be popular and by the 1950s companies were making speckled glazes.” Certainly it is all here in this splendid volume. Specific chapters deal with

Antique Vienna Bronzes - Book ‘Ark’ Of Treasures The book, Antique Vienna Bronzes, is a virtual Noah’s Ark of vintage cast treasures of the animal kingdom.Written by veteran collector and dealer Joseph Zobel, the volume offers information and illustrations on hundreds of bronze objects of art. Generally the finely detailed objects were fashioned in Austria starting the latter 19th century.Full-color photographs include dogs, cats, horses, bears, bulls, snakes, camels, mice, pigs, squirrels, and even human figures.Made in that country’s small factories and private artist studios, they were inspired by

French sculptors according to Zobel.“The bronzes were cast using wax or plaster models,” notes the author.

“Once casting was completed, they were fi nished with details added by hand,” he notes. Zobel points out that the ultimate stage of the bronzes involved chasing, the use of a tool to suggest texture in the metal. The more complex pieces were cast in sections and then attached.

Such small bronze fi gures were exported to eager markets in various parts of the world including New York City. Zobel, who has been studying Vienna bronzes for over 40 years, does a creditable job in explaining the public’s continued fascination with those artifacts.

The book’s high-quality color photographs of more than 650 Vienna bronzes cannot help to bring attention to any manner of bronze fi gures which still attract collectors. The prices provided for individual Austrian renderings in the book may give the reader a gulp, the overall result is a very fi ne reference.Antique Vienna Bronzes by Joseph Zobel, hardcover, color illustrated, current values, 256 pages, is $79.95 from Schiffer Publishing, 4880 Lower Valley Rd., Atglen, PA 19310.

Scottish Cabinetmaker Book elegant, extensiveScottish Cabinetmakers in Federal New

York is both elegant and extensive in its presentation of those remarkable 18th and early 19th century craftsmen.

Obliviously the accomplishments of Scottish-born Duncan Phyfe are legend, but this quality volume documents the work of so many others with similar backgrounds. Author Mary Ann Apicella diligently details the work of these cabinetmakers that were active in around the Atlantic coast fashion centers during the Colonial era.

“The importance of English and French models to furniture made in Federal America is quite dramatic and immediately apparent,” notes the author, “the impact of Scottish models is not.” Continued on page 18

& Die Cast Cars!

A collection of: To that end the author notes in the book’s introduction the goal was

to present the contribution of Scottish craftsmen “in the main style centers of America, especially in New York.”

Apicella spent nearly 15 years inspecting furniture and collecting data throughout America and the British isles, “in an attempt to illustrate the nature of the contribution” of these skilled craftsmen.

Specifi c chapters deal with chests of drawers, wardrobes and linen presses, sideboards, desks and secretaries, tables, chairs, and clocks. Additionally the book includes coverage of Scottish migration patterns, artist and social infl uences, and the cultural impact of New York City.Scottish Cabinetmakers in Federal New York by Mary Ann Apicella, hardcover, 161 illustrations, 200 pages and is $75 from the University of New England Press.

Hot Wheels Volume Documents 40 Years The small world of those legendary Hot Wheels miniatures deserves recognition after all these years. And it gets it in Hot Wheels: 40 Years by Angelo Van Bogart.This year marks of the 40th anniversary of those wonderful little Mattel vehicles that began rolling forward in 1968.

From the beginning the detailed die-cast cars were both ‘hot’ and ‘cool’ at the same time in the minds of countless youngsters. The author tells this absorbing story very well and provides hundreds of high quality full-color photographs to complete the textural evolution of the mighty Hot Wheels. The author comments, “this book explains the magic of Hot Wheel cars through the eyes of someone who, like many collectors,begged his parents for Hot Wheel cars as a kid and grew into an adult collector.” Van Bogart is also author of 100 Years of Cadillac, a columnist for Toy Cars and Models, and a very dedicated collector of Hot Wheels. “The creators of Hot Wheels, the marketing agents behind the brand and the designers were all part of the magic,” he adds, “and many of them explain (in the book) the cars and the processes that made that magic.”For all of its comprehensive coverage, Hot Wheels: 40 Years is not a price guide. The same publisher, Krause Publications, provides the third edition of Hot Wheels Variations by Michael Zarnock for that task. Van Bogart’s book however is good reading.Hot Wheels: 40 Years by Angelo Van Bogart, hardcover, color illustrated, 256 pages, is $30 plus shipping from Krause Books, 1-800-258-0929.

Sand Toys Book Welcome As Summer

Comic Character Metal Sand Toys by Doug and Pat Wengel is as welcome as the summer it backgrounds.

Just as the sandbox or sea shore season rolls around, the new book rolls out some 70 years of everything from sand

pails to water cans. Included are hundreds of color photographs and details on the very characters often illustrated on the sand toys.

Colorful chapters by character include the likes the Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Betty Boop, the Katzenjammer Kids, Baby Snooks, Felix the cat, Davy Crocket, Popeye, Raggedy Ann, and even Sponge Bob. Major makers of marvelous sand toys included Ohio Art and J. Chein, but there are many others also featured in the book.

Readers may fi nd the values on some of these fi ne sand toys to be somewhat shocking, but the quality of this well presented volume is not debatable.

“Generally the larger the pail or shovel, the greater is value,” note the authors who active dealers and seasoned collectors. “Almost always a shovel came with a pale, although usually it was plain shovel with no decoration. Occasionally a shovel would include an image of the character or characters. This was particularly true with boxed sets that might include a pail, shovel, watering can, and sand molds.”

As with many other toys, “a box increases the value of the items, and greatly increases the value if the characters are pictured on the box. The value of the bucket is also increased if the images are embossed around the paint.”

The volume largely deals with pails and watering cans. However coverage also includes sieves, rakes, molds, and a host of other related ‘summer fun in the sand’ items.Comic Character Metal Sand Toys by Doug and Pat Wengel, hardcover with dust jacket, 400 pictures, 176 pages and is $39.95 plus shipping from Schiffer Publishing, 4880 Lower Valley Rd., Atglen, PA 19310.

Doll Quilt Book Offers View Of Vintage Treasures

Childhood Treasures: Doll Quilts By and For Children wonderfully presents a delightful collection of miniature antique quilts dating back to the early 19th century.

The center of this fi ne book is the doll quilts carefully and lovingly selected from the collection of Mary Ghomley. The Ghomley collection is considered one of the largest of such special textile items in the world.

Each quilt of the 80 quilts dating from the 1830s through the 1950s is documented in detail. Moreover the book includes original quilts from farm and home catalogs of the 19th and early 20th centuries, vintage photographs of children and their precious dolls, information on antique doll beds, plus vintage magazine excerpts of quilt-making endeavors.

“Crib and doll quilts are perhaps the tenderest and personal of quilts,” notes the author Meriday Waldvogel, “treasured not only for their charm but also for the love that went into making them. Antique doll quilts, like all old quilts, connect us with the past. As do other works of art, they refl ect the cultural and sociological attitudes of a particular time and place.”

Waldvogel is a recognized quilt expert and the author of several quilt-related books including Southern Quilts: Surviving Relics of the Civil War. The author is also a research fellow at the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she has frequently lectured and conducted classes. Childhood Treasures: Doll Quilts By and For Children by Merikay Waldvogel, color illustrated, index, 140 pages, is $24.95 plus shipping from Good Books, 1-800-762-7171.
