[continued from back page] ‘I would like to congratu- late the Donegal Indians for their fine season,’’ Predicto said in an interview with our sports editor. ‘‘After this week’s victory, the season’s record will stand at 7 victories, 3 losses and 1 tie (Predicto calls for a 27-6 victory over Lebanon Catho- lic). When the combined record of Donegal’s con- querors is tallied, it shows that the Indians lost to quality teams. Manheim Central, ELCO, and Garden Spot combined for 27 victories, one loss and one tie thus far. “Included in this fine season was an impressive opening victory over a good Columbia team. I would like to commend Coach Deshler and his staff for a fine effort.”’ Predicto’s forecasts for the coming weekend of play follow: SECTION ONE Lebanon over Muhlenberg McCaskey over Lan. Cath. Wilson over Gov. Mifflin Cedar Crest over C.V. Man. Twp. over Hempfield SECTION TWO Man. Central over Columbia Warwick over E-town Solanco over Penn Manor SECTION THREE Donegal over Leb. Cath. ELCO over A-C Garden Spot over Norlebco L-S over Cocalico Flea Market Finds Porcelain fairings By Dan D’Imperio Q. What information can you furnish on a small fairing from Conta & Boehme marked ‘“Cancan’’?—Frances, Bay City, Mich. A. Between the 1860s and the 1890s small porcelain groups depicting everyday situations were produced in abundance by Conta & Boehme of Possneck, Saxony. They were exported to Britain in enormous quantities. Most surfaced as prizes and souvenirs at local fairgrounds. Many so-called ‘‘fairings’’ illustrated humorous or naughty scenes of courtship or marriage. The earlier examples were larger and more finely modeled than the later versions. Fairings have fared well with flea market shoppers! Value guide: Fairing, Cancan, 3% inches tall, $45. Q. Would a price list on old almanacs be possible?—Mr. G.P., Concord, N. C. A. Did you realize that almanacs antedate newspapers in America? The first ones were printed in the late 1600s. Age, condition and contents determine value, with those published prior to 1860 receiving the nod price-wise. Value guide: An Astronomical Diary, 1802, $15; Bickerstaff’s New England Almanac, 1785, $45; Boston Almanac & Business Directory, 1847, $25; Hagerstown Town & Country Almanack, first edition, (1797), $90; Medical Almanac, 1844, $10; Rhode Island Almanac, 1817, $12.

Prizes were tickets for free food from Burger King, Columbia. Ee EE Q. While making the rounds of garage sales | purchased a silverplated cake basket marked “Monarch Silver Co.” Where did this piece originate?—Marie, Haddonfield, N.J. A. Wares marked accordingly can be accurately ascribed to the Standard Silver Co., of Toronto, Ont. The com- pany was organized in 1895. Obviously, the owners endeavored to mass market their wares concentrating on the production of silverplated flatware, hollow ware and hotel silver. In 1898 the firm was one of the original com- panies to form the International Silver Co. Cake baskets bearing this company’s trademark fetch a delicious $50. Q. We own a Tiffany-type chandelier marked ‘“‘Coca- Cola”. Someone told us it rates as a rarity.—Mr. and Mrs. F. L., Fort Wayne, Ind. A. The Coca-Cola Co., issued this coveted chandelier between 1905 and 1920. It measured 15% by 12% inches. The trademark “Coca-Cola” and the dome panels are of white opaque glass, while the trademark panel is ruby red stained glass. The chandeliers had an ornate metal band near the top which read “Property of Coca-Cola Co. To be returned on demand’. Because these chandeliers sell in the neighborhood of $2,500, the chances of one being returned remains highly unlikely!
