Flea Market Finds iron with bird By Dan D’Imperio Q. At a local market | purchased a charcoal-buming iron having a figure of a bird perched on top. When was this style popular?—Ida, Long Beach, Calif. A. From the 1880s into the early 1900s, work weary homemakers accomplished their pressing chores with char- , coal-buming irons having figual fasteners. While these various bird, animal and fish representations lent irons of the period a whimsical appearance, they also served a util- itarian purpose. It was their weight which kept the top secure. Domestic and European makers fitted their irons with such devices. A maker's name or patent date on a tum of the century iron can help eliminate the wrinkle on > Cg brow! Value guide: charcoal iron, bird figure, 10, $45. Q. Can you assist me in evaluating a small collection of early radios?—Mr. E. T., Columbus, Ind. A. Do you have a radio hidden in the attic?

Q. I'm an avid collector of Hall China Company teapots. When were they introduced?—Rita, Seaside Heights, N. J. A. Looking for a find with a future? Then permit me 10 introduce you to the diversified line of Hall china teapots. The Hall China Company, of East Liverpool, Ohio, was organized about 1903. In 1920, the company officials wisely decided to intorduce a line of teapots. They met with warm public acceptance, appearing in a variety of colors. Since each teapot bore a special design, collecting them can prove to be a never ending source of surprise. Value guide: Melody, Chinese red, $22. Q. Would you please enlighten me about corkscrews as I'm about to start collecting these oddities?—Tim, Des Moines, lowa. A. The corkscrew, that device utilized in drawing a cork from a bottle, has been known for centuries. Figural ver- sions existed during the 17th century. By the Victorian era, designers captivated imbibers with some ingenious: mech- anical models which often appear on flea market tabletops. Some ornate specimens boasting mother of pearl, ivory or sterling silver handles surfaced in the Art Nouveau period 00000000 iN rN ote stenitesnt erie ieninteredeedeseriseenanecsessscssssses 0800000000000 000R00E0RERORSRSTRITS = pr CHARCOAL BURNING IRON (1890-1910).
