A i ecent letter fi om a reader
in Missouri says, “I have four
pictures by Cunier and Ives
AMERICAN HOMESTEAD
SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN
and WINTER Aie these ori
ginals 7” This is an example of
how difficult it is to identify
something by mail The only
way I could tell for certain if
they were copies or ougmals
would be to examine them un
der a microscope
Off hand I suspected that
they yould not be authentic be
cause these are among frequent
ly reproduced prints from the
Currier and Ives series. How
ever, the group, if originals
have definite antique value and
originals do turn up in attics,
bams and trunks Perhaps this
reader did have the real thing.
I called her and asked one
question, “How big are they,”
About eight inches by ten in
ches,” she replied This was the
right size “Where did you find
them’” she answered, “Rolled
up in an old trunk ’ ’
That’s as far as I could go
without actually seeing them
The size was right and the cir
cumstances were right My
guess was my leader had found
a good set
In her letter she also asked
two other questions “I would
also like to know about old
Mason fiuit jais and a small
blue glass toy telephone with
the mouthpiece bioken off
Could the lattei be repaired’”
Old glass canning jars aie
still plentiful in most parts of
the country but are becoming
more and more collectible
Those with the patent date No
vember 30, 1858 embossed on
the front are most popular with
new collectors who don’t know
that this date was used as late
as 1905
Jars bearing the marks of
regional makers are most de
sirable and are often sought
after in the locality. A good
guide to fruit jars is The
Kitchen Cupboard, fruit jar
price guide by Art and Jewel
Umbeiger, 819 West Wilson,
Tyler, Texas The price $3 00
About the toy telephone, it’s
blue, which is good, it’s a toy
which is also good, but it’s
"bioken hhd- that’s bad So bad
that it piobably is worth only
about one tenth of it’s value if
perfect. It could be lepaired
but the cost of lepainng it
would be more than it’s worth if
perfect If you have the piece
that’s broken off, I’d just glue
it back and let it go at that It’s
istili 1 y iiacd • tittle!

in a collection until a perfect
one turns up. Any blue glass is
good.
