® Of This 'n That
(From page 1)
Someone else will tell you
how they have attended auc-
tion sales, found terrific bar-
gains, and refinished them
into priceless treasures.
Others will mention a fab-
ulous collection of auto license
plates for every one of the
last fifty years! It’s a collect-
or’s world allright! “Scratch”
just anyone and you will dis-
cover a lover of antiques!
Now that we are being ini-
tiated we can see where the
fascination lies.
The acquiring of nothing
else which we own brought
a greater thrill than finding
a beautiful seven-piece wash-
bowl and pitcher set at an
auction sale in Manheim re-
cently—and having the good
fortune to be the successful
bidder for it!
No piece of furniture in
our house is lovelier to us at
the moment than the old-
fashioned spool cabinet
made of oak, chestnut and
cherry woods, which we
found at a recent antiques
show. Its mellow luster,
earned by the passage of
time, is singularly beautiful.

And the fact that it serves as
a little table beside a rock-
ing chair which belonged to
the editor’s great grand-
mother, and seems to match
it perfectly, makes it doubly
precious.
Our own “family” antiques
now serve as a nucleus for
our new interest. Things we
have always taken for grant-
ed suddenly have more sig-
nificance and meaning.
The litte ruby and clear
glass dated “1896 . . Indiana
State Fair . . Ruth” (bought
by his father, for the editor's
mother) is a real treasure.
A white bowl with a deli-
cate pink border, with
“Grindley & Co., England,
1898” on the back takes on
new value. Even our high
headboard bed and marble
top dresser, with their intri-
cate carvings of a ship’s
wheel at the top, suddenly
are not only functional but
beautiful.
We recall that when a
dear friend of the family
gave us the bed and dresser
she told us that it came out
from the East many, many
years ago to northern India-
na on a boat on the Wabash
and Erie Canal. (We had it
brought back to the East
eight years ago via the Penn:
sylvania Turnpike in a huge
moving van!)
We see our little parlor or-
gan in a new night, too. It
was my grandfather’s, and
has witnessed many, many
“family sings” through the
years. We had never exactly
realized it was interesting
other than as a sentimental
treasure.
And so it goes. We intend
to study and learn how to
know the value of old things.
We expect to be fairly regul-
ar attendants at auction sales
in the area. We hope to learn
how to refinish some of the
things we buy, thereby in-
creasing their value to us be-
cause of our labor in their
behalf!
And we fully intend to
