Glass Rolling Pin Q: I have a small collection of vintage rolling pins. One of the more unusual ones is made of glass with a stopper on the end. What was the reason for this design? -- Phyllis, Stigler, Okla. A: The glass rolling pins could be filled with cold water, making it easier to roll out pie crusts. These are collectible and often sell in the $25 to $35 range. *** Q: I realize you don’t do appraisals, but can you recommend someone who can so I can find out the value of a 165-year-old dinner plate that I have. It belonged to the last king of France and has been documented by the Library of Congress. -- Linda, Billings, Mont. A: I suggest you contact two of the better auction houses, Sotheby’s, 1334 York Ave., New York, NY 10021; and Christie’s, 20 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020. Each has experts on staff who might be able to help you. *** Q: I have a fountain pen that my uncle purchased in 1941 when he was in the U.S. Army. I have enclosed pictures of the pen and wonder if it has any value other than being a family keepsake. -- Ruby, Peoria, Ariz. A: You left out an important piece of information, namely the maker of the fountain pen. There are several excellent price guides available at amazon.com that might be helpful. Check out www.thefountainpennetwork. com, one of the better websites for collectors. *** Q: I have a land patent document signed by President Benjamin Harrison in 1892. I would like to know its value. -- Rogene, Grand Junction, Colo. A: One of the better autograph dealers is Brian Kathenes, P.O. Box 482, Hope, NJ 07844; brian@nacvalue.com; and www.nacvalue.com. Kathenes is considered an autograph expert and also is a certified appraiser.
