Royal Doulton
figure: $365
By Dan D’Imperio
Q. Can you enlighten me about my Royal Doulton fig-
urine Gladys, HN1740?—Joanne, Hayward, Calif.
A. Members of the collecting fraternity diligently search
for discontinued Royal Doulton figurines. Gladys, intro-
duced in 1935 and withdrawn by 1949, rates as an Art Deco
darling. The designer Leslie Harradine captured the con-
temporary woman in this finely modeled figurine. It is
not a standing figure, but rather depicts the head, shoulders
and folded arms of a woman, the arms resting on a plinth.
She has reddish hair and a green dress, which blend beauti-
fully with the decidedly Deco theme. Value guide: Gladys,
5 inches, $365.
Q. Several years ago | acquired a mint condition Queen
Elizabeth launch brochure. Is this a sought-after item?—
Mr. L. J., Gainesville, Fla.
A. The elegant brochure issued to commemorate the
launching of the Queen Elizabeth on Sept. 27, 1938, is def-
initely a collectors’ delight. The naming ceremony was per-
formed by the Queen Mother. Because King George VI was
unable to attend the affair, a letter of apology appears within
the brochure. Photographs of the construction process also
adorn the pages of this memento. At present fine condition
copies of this launch brochure sail into private collections
at prices hovering around the $100 mark!

“GLADYS” ROYAL DOULTON FIGURINE
Q. We found several old cherry stoners in the barn. Are
they of interest to collectors?—Mr. and Mrs. H. L.,
Bloomington, li.
A. The United States Patent Office was besieged with
new inventions for labor-saving kitchen gadgets during the
1800s. Many pertained to improvements in the field of
cherry stoners. As might be expected, each new patent
promised to remove the seed from the cherry with a min-
imum of disfiguring or cutting. There were crank handled
and spring-driven models equipped with regulation devices.
Any cherry stoner bearing a firm name or patent date is
especially cherished. Value guide: cherry seeder, clamp-
type, cast iron, $35.
Q. Would it be possible to assist me in evaluating a col-
lection of Parker pens?—Ben, Newberry, Mich.
A. Waterman, Parker, Sheaffer and Wahl-Eversharp
rate as pioneers in the field of fountain pens. Their early
presentations have truly left their mark on collectors!
Parker fountain pen value guide: Model “6 Lucky Curve”,
1894, $42; Model 48, ring top, gold filled barrel and cap,
1915, $48; pen and pencil, Duofold Jr., 1923, $45; Lady
Duofold, green jade, 1929, $30; “Blue Diamond”, 51, ster-
ling silver cap, 1943, $28.
