Does anybody know the best glue to reattach the arm on a broken soapstone carving?
5 Minute epoxy does a very good job with stone and ceramics. Because soapstone is
porous, you should coat both pieces with the mixed epoxy and wipe off all of the excess
liquid before it sets.
After the epoxy hardens (10 minutes or so) re-coat one piece and wait until the slightest
thickening of the epoxy can be discerned, ( about 2 minutes) then quickly join the parts
and hold them together until the epoxy is set. Keep in mind that 5 minute epoxy can set in
as little as 2 minutes if mixed in large puddles, or if exposed to temperatures above
90º. Immediately after the joint sets (while it is still soft) cut away excess epoxy with
a razor blade.
Test before gluing by wetting the soapstone with water. If your carving changes color or brightens when wet, the glued joint will show. You may be able to mix a small amount of oil paint, (artist colors or model paint) and touch up the joint to make it less noticeable. Sand the joint smooth with a very fine grit sandpaper before painting and use a fine pointed artists brush.

I was enchanted by John Glover and his Marblehead Marines on "The Crossing" on A&E last week. After some research I found a letter dated Feb. 25, 1999, identifying the only John Glover biography as one now out of print by George Athan Billias entitled "General John Glover and his Marblehead Marines", published in the 1960's. Does anyone know of any biographies of John Glover currently in print and where I might find them?

I have a sword that has Edward Harris Carson's name engraved on it and it is in excellent condition. It has the Ames Company name on it. It has a world globe and then a crown on the top of the handle. At the bottom of the handle there is a crown with a sword and looks like a hook sword. On the blade of the sword it has The Henderson Ames Co. Kalamazoo Mich. and in the middle of the blade it has Edward Harris Carson engraved on it. I was wondering if you could tell me about what year it was made and if it is worth anything. It's case has the word paxautbellum on the crest on the outside. Thank You.

I have an antique dentist chair in excellent condition here in Los Angeles. I've had it for years, but it's just not practical to have in my life anymore and I'm looking to sell it. I thought I'd try here, as it deserves to find a good, appreciative home. I'm not sure of it's year, but I'd roughly estimate it's from the forties. As I say, it's in great shape. Anyone interested can contact me by phone at (310) 246-1201 or by email at jdrouillard@earthlink.net - Thanks, John Drouillard
I have a small Brass piece made by "Pairpoint" with the code "C1512" and a "P" in a diamond. That I need to identify and date. If anyone could give me some leads to contact, it would be appreciated. I have pictures of the object and would Email them.
Pairpoint Manufacturing Company was established in 1880 in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
The factory began as a metalworks which first made fittings for coffins. Near the
Pairpoint factory was the Mt. Washington Glassworks which made fine glassware, and the two
companies began exploring synergies culminating in a merger in 1894. From the late 1890s
until the 1930s, lamps and lamp accessories were an important part of Pairpoint's
production. Scenic shades were sometimes artist signed. Most shades were stamped on the
lower inside or outside edge with either 1) The Pairpoint Corp., 2) Patent Pending, 3)
Patented July 9, 1907, or 4) Patent Applied For. Bases were made of bronze, copper, brass,
silver, or wood, and are always signed.
Due to financial difficulties, the company reorganized in 1939 under the direction of
Robert Gundersen and again specialized in quality hand-blown glass-ware. Isaac Babbit
regained possession of the silver departments, and together they established Gundersen
Glassworks, Inc. Following the end of WWII, it became necessary to reorganize yet again.
The Gundersen-Pairpoint Glassworks was formed, and the old line of cut, engraved artware
was reintroduced. The company moved to East Wareham, Massachusetts in 1957. Business
continued to be poor, and the firm closed early in 1958. In 1970, Robert Bryden, sales
manager for the company since the 1950s, reestablished Pairpoint and new facilities were
constructed in Sagamore. In 1974, the company began to produce lead
glass cup plates which were made on commission as fund-raisers for various churches and
organizations. These are signed with a
'P' in a diamond and
are becoming quite collectible.

I inherited my grandmother's china and would like to find the pattern name. It has the Noritake backstamp that was registered in Japan in 1933 on the back, the letter "M" encircled in a wreath with the words "Noritake China" above and "Japan" below. The bottom of the wreath has a bow and the area around the letter "M" is blue. The china has a gold rim and pattern with flowers and something that looks like a medallion alternating with the flowers. I have searched many Antique Noritake pattern lists and have as yet been unable to find one that matches. If you have suggestions, please email me a kandersen@nwsbt.com

I have bought a couple of old wooden folding chairs. They seem very old to me, about 1940s or even a bit earlier. Is there a market for old folding chair antiques? There is no makers name or company trademark on them to identify the manufacturer. I believe they are made out of oak, and are in near perfect condition. I can get my hands on eight more of them, but I need to know something about them in a hurry. Can someone fill me in or point me to a website that has informantion about antique folding chairs? Why I need to know in a hurry is because the other eight are about to go to a landfill!!!

This is a reply to "Lisa/Gi" - There is a wonderful book out by Aimee Neff Alden, Called "Collector's Encyclopedia of Early Noritake-Identification and Values". Though there are some unnamed patterns in the book, there are also many, many photos and patterns depicted.

Hope this helps!

French pen & ink drawings -- I have 2 of these. They are pen and ink but have been painted with water colors over the top of the ink. One is entitled "Gilquin imp Paris" and is signed by Isabelle Desgranges. It features 2 ladies in fancy Victorian dresses. The other is entitled "Leroy imp Paris" and is signed by Anais Couvouz. It also features 2 ladies in fancy Victorian dresses. If it weren't for the different signatures, I would think these two pieces were by the same artist. What exactly are these, and are they likely to be worth anything? What is the actual name of the technique where one paints in water color over a pen & ink drawing? If you have any insights, please respond here or to brakewood@compuserv.com. Thanks. By the way, they are for sale!

Can anyone help me identify a Royal Bavarian China piece with the imprint O & E G above a rectangular gold crest?
Hi,
Would you please direct me or my email to someone who might be able to advise me about where and/or how I can get an old family blanket restored? It was my grandmother's, and was made in Portugal probably about a hundred years ago (I think; if I remember the story correctly). It has a thread design; it's hard to describe; but it's not quilted or anything like that... It just has a square design pattern made of millions of thread stitches... Some of the threads have worn out, and there's some sun damage. It weighs a ton.
Thanks for any advice or help you can provide.

I have a silver spoon where Abraham Lincoln's bust forms the tip and his name is on the handle, including the words "16th President Of the United States". The scoop of the spoon contains a portion of his Gettysburg speech including the famous line "government of the people by the people and for the people" (in block capital letters). On the reverse are some designs with the insignia "SI" and the name "Wm ROGERS Mfg Co". There is no damage or repair and it is in extremely fine condition. Image of Abraham Lincoln shows very fine detail. Very good eye appeal. Please contact me if you have any info or value of the spoon which is unlike the $5 reproduction for sale on the internet in design and shape. Thank you. BELDEU at ssbeldeu@hotmail.com

HELP! PLEASE?
I have just obtained a "China" tea set that has the hand written name Handgemalt with some sort of an X above it, with another unusual mark beneath it with the #10. In the middle of the bottom of the dishes is another seemingly "factory" mark that is green with an S in the middle of a "house" design sitting on the word SCHOENAU. The design of the China is a very light powder blue that gradients to white in the center. Around the middle of the edge there are 3 groups of flowers of red blue and green (one large at the top and two smaller ones to the lower left and right consisting of red and blue flowers). It has Gold Scallops around the edge of the dishes. Any information would be greatly appreciated as this was given to us as an Anniversary Present. It was said to have come from Germany by way of England and supposed to be antique. Again thank you for your help and assistance... curity2@tds.net God bless you.

I believe I may have original Tiffany stain glass windows. They were removed from a home constructed in the late 1800s. I have researched the building of the home and cannot locate the proper documentation. Any suggestions?
RE: Stained glass windows.
Look for an "LCT" mark somewhere on the glass. As far as I know everything made in the Tiffany studios was signed. The LCT mark stands for Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Dear AntiqueAdvertiser.com,
I am looking for an antique cherry rocker similar to one my grandfather had in western Pennsylvania. The feature I'm having difficulty in finding is that the back of his rocker was mostly flat solid wood, not slats or dowels. The back was about six to eight inches wide at the seat, then gradually got wider towards the top, then it kind of mushroomed out to the full width of the chair, and connected to turned dowels at each corner. The seat was solid wood. The solid back was carved with some sort of floral design. Any idea what this style is or where I can find such a thing? I hope my description was adequate because I have no pictures. I could maybe mail you a sketch.
Thanks Jim Harvey jharvey@nls.net

I was recently given a china vanity set with some type of hand-painted flowers on it. It was bought from an antique shop for $150 dollars, it looks French, the name of the company on the bottom is Pair Point Limoges.

I was hoping someone can tell me how I would go about finding information on some pieces of china that I have that are not marked at all.

We have also been trying to find information on a gold urn that belonged to my father. We have been trying to find this info since he passed and that was 16 years ago.
