COLUMBIA R.D.1 Phone 426-1836 M/C Flea Market Finds A mesh bag worth $50 By Dan D’Imperio Q. Can you enlighten me about a pouch-shaped mesh bag marked “Whiting and Davis?“'—Ellen, Cleveland, Ohio. A. In an advertisement dated June 6, 1929 the Whiting and Davis firm of New York and Chicago, announced, “New Paul Poiret Pouch-Shaped Costume Bags, now avail- able for delivery.” The company further exclaimed “they are ready for the trade well in advance of the mode.” Paul Poiret created the bags which were available in “Armor, Petite Armor and Dresden Enameled Mesh.” The modest $18.00 price tag had flappers kicking up their heels over this latest Whiting and Davis sensation! Value guide: Poiret costume bag, silver mesh, 5 inches wide, $50. Q. What is the value of my 4% inch tall Hummel figurine “Feeding Time” dating from the early 1950s. It depicts a Ye haired girl feeding chickens.”—Mrs. G. P., Hattiesburg, iss. A. Hummel figurines dating from the 1950s typically possess the William Geobel trademark known as the “Full Bee.” or “Full Blown Bee.” The bee flying in the V has been used by the company to the present time. Feeding Time (Hum 199/0) in the 4% inch tall version can be found with blonde hair and dark hair. The blonde figurine is regarded as the earliest. Hummel figurines from the early 1950s fetch anything but “ho-hum” prices!” Value guide: Feeding Time, 4% inches tall, 1952, $220.

A.

When were cloth books introduced for children?— Mrs. G. P., Vancouver, Wash. A. When indestructible cloth and linen books were initially marketed by English publishers in the first quarter of the 19th century, parents greeted them with plaudits. By the middle of the century, Dean's of London, Darton’s of London and Wheeler & Co., of London, were creating cloth historical, alphabet, steamship, study and pleasure books. A decade later McLoughlin Bros., of New York, listed cloth and linen books in oil colors for a mere thirty cents each. Untearable books of cloth proved popular for the re- mainder of the century, although their present scarcity would belie this fact! Value guide: McLoughlin Bros., “Little Slovenly Peter,” $30.
