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.

Lancaster County chrysanthemum expert Lester
Hostetter, Mount Joy, took 18 of his best blooms to the
Delaware Valley Chrysanthemum Society’s Annual Show
in Bromaal recently and walked away with 15 awards; he
captured three first place honors, eight seconds, and
four third place ribbons.
Lester has been raising mums at his 315 North
Barbara Street residence for the past seven years and
was named 1978 ‘‘Gardener of the Year’ by the
Lancaster Men’s Garden Club. He grows 42 varieties of
mums. Some of the prize flowers were on display in the
lobby of the Union Nation Mount Joy Bank [Lester’s
place of employment] last week.
MESH COSTUME BAG
Q. As a child my hero was Tom Mix. Consequently,
whenever | visit a flea market | usually walk away with
another find in this category. Would a Tom Mix price list
be a possibility?—Harry, Highland, lil.
A. Here's mixed bag of current prices on Tom Mix
mementos: Belt buckle, secret compartment, $30; Com-
pass, 1930s, $25; Identification bracelet, $27; Paint book,
96 pages, 1930s, $45; Pocket knife, $25: Ralston New
Premium Catalog, 1938, $35; Signal Arrowhead, with
Whites and magnifying glass, $70; Spurs, glow in dark type,
Q. 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.
