This teapot was given to me 52 years ago and it was not new then. The word “Linthorpe” is impressed on the bottom. It also has an imprinted number and painted initials on the bottom. Does it have any value? http://www.kovels.com/issues/antiques_collectibles/35_5/collectors_gallery/3101-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Q. Can you tell me what this is? Is it a cherry pitter? It’s silver plate with a design of birds, leaves and cattails. When you push the plunger on top, it pushes a four-pronged “pitter” into the curved tines. I was told it may have been made in the 1800s. What is it? http://www.kovels.com/issues/antiques_collectibles/35_5/collectors_gallery/3104-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Q. After reading the Kovels newsletter article, “Don’t Throw Away Anything Baseball” (July 2008), we remembered that we have an RCA Victor record called “My Favorite Hits: Mickey Mantle.” The album and record are in very good condition, but there’s no sleeve for the record. The price written on the back cover in pencil is $1.49. What is it worth today? http://www.kovels.com/issues/antiques_collectibles/35_5/collectors_gallery/3102-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Q. I have a machine called “Renulife.” With it is a book of instructions claiming cures from A (abcesses) to W (writer’s cramp). The warranty reads Dec. 2, 1924, and it has a seal dated 1920. Can give me any information? http://www.kovels.com/issues/antiques_collectibles/35_5/collectors_gallery/3103-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Marks used by potteries whose majolica plates are pictured in our sale report. http://www.kovels.com/issues/antiques_collectibles/35_5/dictionary/3100-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Barbie Doll Clothes ...
