Flea Market Finds Whatnot shelf worth $375 By Dan D’Imperio Q. We just acquired a corner whatnot shelf. When were these pieces in vogue?—Mr. and Mrs. V. P., Buffalo, N. Y. A. A whatnot shelf was regarded as an essential piece of parlor furniture during the late Victorian period (1870- 1901). Generally, they were factory produced, except for the finer specimens which were crafted by skilled cabinet- makers. Buyers could choose between flat-wall and corner styles with both types usually having five graduated shelves. Spool turned posts in various patterns or machine-cut brackets joined and supported the shelves, which often had low gallery pieces in the rear or fancy open-work. As might be expected, souvenir loving Victorians quickly converted them into mini-museums! Value guide: corner whatnot shelf, walnut, 1880s, $375. Q. Where did my cut glass bowl marked “Corona” originate?—Karen, Scottsbluff, Neb. A. The Corona trademark was utilized by the Corona Cut Glass Co., of Toledo, Ohio. This firm was founded in 1906, and although the trademark was not issued until 1912, a member of the company stated that it had been in continuous use since the inception of the factory. The un- usual trademark consisted of a total eclipse of the sun, with the name “Corona” within the center of the darkened sun. Pieces bearing the “Corona” trademark are warmly received by collectors! Value guide: bowl, signed, 8% inches dia- meter, $200. Q. Can you date our silverplated heart-shaped flask from the Homan Manufacturing Co.?—Harold, Richmond, Ind. A. During the first decades of the 20th century those who were prone to alcohol indulgence found a wide variety of flasks at their disposal. Silver and silverplated types hav- ing a wide diversity of exterior decorations were preferred over the more fragile glass versions. Sentimentally minded imbibers fell for the heart-shaped models which were offered in various capacities by several manufacturers. Many were lettered with appropriate phrases such as “Drink Heartily!” Value guide: Homan, heart-shaped flask, silverplated, $30. Q. | buy every old hatpin holder | can locate. How about a price guide in this category?—Mrs. G. J., Lakeland, Fla. A. Once hatpins popped into prominence in the closing decades of the 19th century, hatpin holders began vying for crowded dresser top space. The holders, as well as the hat- pins, currently rate as tempting flea market treasures! Value guide: Bavarian, hand-painted roses, $30; Nippon, wood- land scene, $60; Royal Bayreuth, cavalier musicians, $175; R. S. Germany, calla lilies, $45; Victorian Carlsbad, violets, $35.
