Terry and Kim Kovel | Antiques and Collecting

Colorful signs with old-fashioned pictures favored

P

art of the fun of collecting and going to shows and auctions is how often you see something that is a mystery. It’s a learning experience.

We took our children to shows as soon as they knew how to behave. Don’t touch, hands behind your back, ask if you want to see something.

Big, colorful signs with old-fashioned pictures were the favorites, so this paint ad was one they liked.

We checked with the dealer before taking them into a booth and explained they knew how to behave and if there should be an accident, of course we would pay for any damage. Each had a collection — small heart charms or tin spice boxes. We showed them the jewelry and named the colors of the stones, then the name of the stones, and by kindergarten, they were experts. They helped us buy things for the country store by asking the dealer the price of a sign or a box that they liked. Big, colorful signs with old-fashioned pictures were the favorites, so this paint ad was one they liked. The tin sign is 27 inches tall and is unusual because it has a row of wooden color sample

peanuts and molasses at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893.

Louis copyrighted the recipe and the slogan, “The more you eat, the more you want,” in 1896. Coupons for prizes were added to the boxes in 1910. Sales increased dramatically after small prizes for children were included in the boxes beginning in 1912.

Frederick’s grandson was the model for Sailor Jack, which was first used in advertisements in 1916. The first boxes with Sailor Jack were produced in 1918. Cracker Jack prizes are collectible, especially the old metal ones.

Prizes were eliminated in 2016 and replaced by a game that can be played by scanning a URL code. A button stud like yours sold recently for $56. Cracker Jack is now part of Frito Lay.

Q. I inherited a purple

carnival glass Good Luck pattern dish from my grandparents. My grandfather got it at a local fair.

I know these dishes were won by coins being thrown in a game at a booth at the fair. What is it worth?

A.

The Good Luck bowl is a piece of Northwood glass made by one of the glassmaking companies owned by Harry C. Northwood. The pattern includes horseshoes and other lucky symbols. He founded the Northwood Glass Co. in Martins Ferry, Ohio, in 1887 and moved to Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, in 1892. When the company closed in 1896, he opened the Northwood Co. in Indiana, Pennsylvania.

It became part of the National Glass Co. consortium in 1899, but Northwood continued to make glass. He founded the H. Northwood Co. in Wheeling, West Virginia, in 1901 and worked with his brother Carl. They made carnival glass, like your bowl, plus custard, goofus and stretch glass, and more in many different colors. A 9-inch blue-purple bowl with a pressed pattern is worth about $150.

Q. What is the value of a

metal figure called “The Appeal to the Great Spirit”

by Cyrus Dallin? It shows an Indian chief, arms out wide to the side, sitting astride his horse. The horse is 8¾ inches long.

The base is marked “C.E. Dallin 1913.” The figure is in perfect condition except for the rein, which has to be reattached to the horse.

A.

“The Appeal to the Great Spirit” is the last of four sculptures by Cyrus Dallin (1861-1944) in a series called The Epic of the Indian, made between 1890 and 1909. The figure represents a Sioux chief praying to the Great Spirit after surrendering to the U.S. Army. The life-size bronze sculpture is in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The sculpture was made in three smaller sizes in the early 1900s. Gorham Foundry in Providence, Rhode Island, made the figures in at least two sizes. If your figure was made at the Gorham Foundry, it will be marked “Gorham Co. Founders QXC” and may also have a number. It’s impossible to tell the value from a picture. You should take the figure to a museum or to a knowledgeable antiques dealer to see if they can determine if it is an original. The original figures sell at auction for about $5,000-$7,000. Unauthorized reproductions have been made and sell online for $50-$60.

Tip: Keep a collection of photographs in an interior room of the house. Avoid the basement, garage and attic.

he first day Craig Melvin broadcast from his Connecticut home last month, his producers told him to pick the room with the strongest Wi-Fi signal. So the “Today” show cohost headed up to his home office.

Two minutes before airtime, his director piped up: “Wow. That is some wallpaper, huh?”

Indeed. The navy and white Palm Tree pattern by Serena & Lily was bold and busy.

Al Roker was asked to work from home after a “Today” staffer was diagnosed with the coronavirus. (NBC UNIVERSAL)

It was a statement. Viewers noticed. “I have heard more about that damn wallpaper than anything I’ve done on NBC,” Melvin says with a laugh. “Everyone has an opinion.”

On Melvin’s Instagram, the wallpaper was a hit, with comments from followers calling it “fabulous,” “psychedelic” and “trippy.”

The powers that be at NBC, however, did not love it. And his children, ages 6 and 3, realized Daddy was home and immediately ran upstairs into the live shot. By Day 2, Melvin was broadcasting from his former man cave in the basement, with three iPads, three

lights and upgraded Wi-Fi. But the wallpaper, picked out by Melvin’s wife Lindsay Czarniak, is immortalized in a promotional video by MSNBC, where it appears in all its swirling glory.

Melvin, along with Al Roker, was asked to work from home after a “Today” staffer was diagnosed with the coronavirus. The pandemic means that America is seeing familiar faces in an unfamiliar setting: their homes. Some are elegant. Some are bohemian. Some are bare-bones.

All reveal something we never knew about their owners, whom we welcome into our living rooms on a daily basis.

Sue Palka, evening meteorologist at Washington, D.C.’s Fox 5, started broadcasting from her Maryland home office last month with two new colleagues: cats Murphy, shown, and Lily, who have stolen the show. (FOX 5)

Unlike the glossy, carefully curated spreads in shelter magazines, these celebrity spaces have a makeshift quality — which somehow makes their owners a bit more human.

It’s all uncharted territory.

When Anderson Cooper stood in a corner of his West Village home dressed in a dark T-shirt, facing the camera, he was standing against a backdrop of leather-bound books, a globe, a vintage chandelier and what looked

like a leather wing chair.

“Tens of millions more Americans saw their world shrink to four walls, or the walls of their homes, myself included,” said Cooper at the open of his CNN show “Anderson Cooper 360.”

Unlike the glossy, carefully curated spreads in shelter magazines, these celebrity spaces have a makeshift quality — which somehow makes their owners a bit more human.

cue cats are stealing the show, sitting sphinx-like next to her, staring right into the camera, jumping on the back of the yellow upholstered chair she plucked from her dining room and trying to snuggle in her lap. (She’s keeping a lint roller on standby because she’s often wearing black pants.)

“At first I was worried that I should email my boss and ask him if I should keep out the cats,” Palka says. “But now the feedback is all about the cats and not about the weather.” There have been calls for Murphy and Lily to get their own Twitter feed.

“The cats are keeping me calm on these anxiety-filled days,” Palka added.

The most popular setting for most media types is their home office — or what looks like an office. Some are guest bedrooms hastily converted into mini-broadcasting studios. Some are dimly lit finished basements. Some are kitchens.

Consider Becky Quick, CNBC co-anchor of “Squawk Box.” She gets up at 3:45 a.m., puts on her slippers and sneaks into a spare bedroom in her New Jersey home to start her busy news day. “I do my own hair and makeup; I’m my own lighting person, so I set up the lights, and I’m my own IT director, so I set up the computers and call in,” Quick says. She pushed the bedroom furniture over to the side of

And finally, many berry bushes require regular pruning — as do, again, forsythia, lilac, and many strictly ornamental bushes. Pruning allows stems to bask in light and bathe in air, keeping a bush productive and limiting disease problems. Regularly removing old stems also makes way for younger, more productive ones.

No great skill is needed to prune a bush, and pruning is generally not needed until your plant’s fourth winter.

Just take your hand shears or lopping shears (the latter if stems are thicker than about 1/2”) and cut a few of the very oldest, thickest stems to ground level. Also cut to the ground enough of the youngest shoots so they don’t crowd each other as they age. The only other pruning needed is to clip back any stems that look out of place.
