Insider’s Secret
With the interest in the
popular television shows
about pickers, pawn shops
and auction companies, we
have seen a renewed interest in vintage items especially in antique advertising.
The most common question
we get from customers is
“Where did you get this?”
While they are truly interested in the story behind the
item, they really want to know where they too can
find great items. So here is the insider’s secret to
finding the good stuff.
If you have lots of time or just enjoy the hunt, all
of the following offer a variety and you get to search
through a plethora of items.
• Garage & yard sales – advertised locally
• Flea markets – mostly outdoor, probably won’t
find the mint condition items
• Local auctions – maybe outdoor, bid against
family who have sentimental attachment General antique shows, General dealers
• General antique store/mall
• Internet searches
If your time is limited or you don’t like wading
through loads of toads to get to the good stuff here
are some options you may have overlooked.
Specialized auctions gather similar type items
together for a large auction. It could be furniture,
glassware, country store, gas & oil, advertising, coin
op etc. The auction company may combine several
consigners of quality items or a large collection from
one person. The key here is quality - the auction

Visit A Country Store Museum
We recently visited a Country Store Museum in Mt.
Airy, Maryland. Overwhelmed with this display and
rarities, we asked if Howard would write an article
on how it all got started. The following is his story, in
his own words.
I had no idea that
one day I would
open a Country Store
Museum. I guess
the best way for
me to start writing
this article is to
share with you how
I got interested in
collecting in the first
place. One day at
the age of 21, a good
friend of mine had
to stop by his fatherin-laws house and
invited me to come
in. Well, for the
first time in my life I was in awe of this well displayed
antique toy collection with some advertising signs
adorning the walls. At that age of 21 I had cars on
my mind, not antique toys and advertising, but after
seeing that collection it was never to be forgotten.
After several weeks had gone by I had to see the
collection again, so I stopped by Mr. Livingston’s
house and got hooked on purchasing an advertising
tin. That was 43 years ago and the price of the tin was
$2.00. You may wonder what I purchased for just
$2.00…it was a small Exlax flat tin.
Continued on Page 2

A month later, a very
good fellow dealer and
collector of Mr. Livingston’s
called me and stated he
just returned from a place
in New England named
“Brimfield”. I did not know
what Brimfield was, but
soon learned it was a great
place to find antiques. The
gentlemen lived very close
to my area so I went over to
see his finds from Brimfield.
Bingo, the next thing I had
purchased a coffee bin and
some other advertising pieces.
They had the fish on the line, a new customer. I
have to say I really loved this old stuff and put my
car interest on the back burner. Every chance I got
I would stop by this dealer’s house and purchase
another find. I was building a collection now from
the purchase of that Exlax tin. Piece by piece the
collection was building because I started going to local
auctions and flea markets. Then I finally got to the
mecca called “Brimfield” in the early 1970’s. It was
called Gordon Reed’s Flea Market, at that time, with
just one big field with awesome finds for any country
store collector.
Collecting kind of sneaks up behind you, and one
day you turn around and say, “Did I collect all of this
stuff?” I had items stored everywhere now with the
dream of one day finding the right building to have

my own museum. I purchased my own home and
decorated it with my country store finds. Dye cabinets
for end tables, spool cabinets for bedside tables and
signs on the walls. But I was collecting like a man on a
mission and every weekend I was at an auction or flea
market and occasionally a good antique show. Then I
knew I was in real trouble because I started traveling
long distances to buy more and more goods. Don’t let
me kid you; I enjoyed the traveling and meeting fellow
collectors with the same passion. For me this was
great. I enjoyed the chase for great and interesting
items for the shelves and large counters, showcases
to recreate a country
store. It’s the small
details that set off
any collection, I told
myself.
Now for the rest of
the story. One day a
friend told me about
an auction taking place
about 25 miles from my
home. The contents
of this wonderful old
country store and
drugstore were going
to be auctioned off. I
attended the auction
and several months
later purchased the
building. I knew this
was the perfect setting

Continued from Page 2
I enjoy sharing my collection with the people
that come through the front door of the museum.
Everyone exchanges stories about growing up and
visiting their local country stores when they were
young. Visitors to my museum come in as strangers
and leave as friends. So much has changed and
so many small country stores and drugstores have
vanished. Our goal is to never let these memories fade
too far away.
for my collection. After all, what is better than actually
having a real store front to showcase one’s country
store collection? The work was just beginning.
After I took possession of this historic property, the
work began of upgrading all the systems. Once that
had been done the task of setting up the museum
began. This project took years and I guess it will never
end. As the years passed, numerous items I had in
boxes stored away for years were unpacked. It was
just like Christmas with each box I opened. I rediscovered items I had purchased years before. Setting
up the museum was the best part of my collecting
experience. Seeing everything come together one
piece at a time was exciting. I really don’t think the
museum will ever be totally completed because now
at the age of 64 I’m still collecting. I have never lost
my enthusiasm or respect of great and interesting
advertising items.

also run special educational tours for children. There
are two levels to tour so expect to be busy for about an
hour and a half. We sell no souvenirs but do accept
smiles. For information about touring the museum,

Collecting Porcelain Enamel Advertising
Few areas of collecting offer the diversity and
graphics as those found on antique porcelain enamel advertising. This mainstream area of collecting will feature mostly signs, but soda dispensers,
serving trays, gum machines, point-of-purchase
displays and a myriad of other goodies came with a
porcelainized advertising message as well. I’ve provided photos of some of my favorites, just to show
you how gorgeous porcelain enamel signs can be!
It all started in Europe in the latter part of
the 19th century. Techniques were developed for
early advertisers that would provide a long lasting
graphic message by fusing different colors of glass
at kiln temperatures. These early examples eventually gave inspiration to artisans in America, some
of which were brought overseas to get a jump start
on this new form of advertising. By the year 1920,
porcelain enamel advertising was a huge business,
with dozens of factories throughout the
United States.
Let’s stop the
history lesson there,
and see just what
it is that has made
this collectible a
staple in today’s
antique market. Of
course, it’s collectors
like YOU that have
brought greatness
to this hobby. But,
beyond that, there is
the fundamental art
form of porcelain
enamel advertising
itself. Every subject
matter one could
think of has been put out there, permanently fused
on metal with artistic precision for all to see - even
many generations from now. As in other forms of
antique advertising, it’s the graphics that count.
And for those of you not versed in this art form, I
can assure you its diversity is endless!
So, where does a collector focus with such as vast
array of advertising available? My advice would
be to concentrate on what you like in your day to
day life. So……..If you like the automobile, a great
subject matter is porcelain enamel advertising
4
related to not only cars and trucks, but the ancillary products and services that kept the industry
running. Gasoline and oils, automobile parts and
services, etc. There are collectors that specialize in
plenty of other subject matters as well. Paint advertising seems to be big right now. Food and beverage
is also popular. Signs that advertise farm related
products rate right up there too. Even such a utilitarian thing as telephone (pay phone)
advertising has been
popular for years.
OK, so let’s talk
prices and investment potential! As
with any collectible,
there is a wide range
of market values
within the hobby.
Condition, coupled with collector desirability and
available supply will set the market price. Generally, the advertising with eye catching graphics will
be the higher priced items. If you want to collect
items in the $100.00 range there are plenty available. If you have a deeper pocketbook, say $500.00,
you will have no problem spending there either.
I’ve seen porcelain enamel advertising signs sell for
over $20,000.00, but precious few would be at this
level. If you are worried about market prices, I can
tell you that I can remember many, MANY times
I walked past a sign at an antique show, shop, etc.
Collecting Porcelain Enamel Advertising
because I thought
the seller had ‘fishing’ syndrome. Well,
looking back brings plenty of regrets, as today’s
market has made porcelain enamel advertising one
of the best long range
investments I’ve seen.
A small ‘caveat’ to my
statement on investment potential would
be to advise that it
appears that the pieces
that had the most collectible ‘interest’ years
ago will most often be
the big money bringers
today, but this is true
with many antiques
out there, so it should
come as no surprise.
The long and short of it
is that you should collect what you like, and
don’t let prices scare you
off. Of course, collect
only what you can
afford, but as long as
you pay at the current ‘going rate’, the
investment potential
Continued from Page 4
will take care of itself over the long run.
Finally, let me just say that having a collection
is only part of the fun in this hobby. To really do
it right, you need to invest some time in ‘networking’ yourself. As much as the internet has become a
popular way to acquire a collection, take the time
to get out there & support shows. (The Indy Advertising show would be a GREAT place to start!)
There is a HUGE group of sellers that DO NOT
sell on the internet. They find that doing shows is
better suited for their needs. (Like not having to
package and ship their items, fees on the internet,
scams,……..you get the idea.) So always do a stop
and look while traveling. Along the same lines, try
to meet other collectors, as you will find that many
collectors (myself included) welcome a visit to see
their collection and you will be AMAZED at how
your knowledge will grow by doing that! By doing
the ‘social’ end of the hobby, you will enhance your
enjoyment tenfold. Now…..GET GOING and enjoy
every minute!

company has done all the work in bringing the items
to one place. All the best companies have an internet presence and advertise in the trade magazines.
The Internet can be a good source but I stick to the
all vintage site, icollect247.com. Sellers can’t hide
behind screen names so I know who I am dealing
with and all items are screened before going live. I
also deal directly with the dealer who pays just a flat
monthly fee with no additional costs.
Traveling from the East to West
Coast each year we stop at many antique shops/malls along the way.
Now we focus more on specialized antique stores or towns that have several stores. Don’t hesitate to call those
that are open by appointment only.
They are single owner stores that may
not be in a high traffic area and simply prefer not to have regular hours.
Studebaker’s General Store in Tasley,
VA (757)894-1218 and Timber Ridge
Antiques in Effingham, IL (217)8217288 are two great examples.
Antique shows that specialize in a
particular category like primitives,
glassware, ephemera, or advertising
are a great option. The overall quality
is generally better at these shows and
they often draw dealers from a wider geographic area
than a local show. These shows advertise in the trade
magazines and have an internet presence as well.
Hands down, the Indy Antique Advertising Show is
the best of the best for advertising and country store
items. The advertising includes all types of products:
brewery, tobacco, soda, veterinary, pharmacy, gas &
oil, coin op, and ephemera. The advertising comes in
all shapes & forms from porcelain, tin, cardboards,
cabinets, glass, trade signs, bottles, dispensers and
so on. What is also unique is that several dealers
have toys including cast iron, pressed steel, tin wind
ups etc. For over 40 years, the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, IN has been home to the
show in March and September. The website is www.
indyadshow.com and the next show is September
27-28, 2013.
The insider’s secret to finding great items is that it
takes a lot of miles and time to search for the great
items BUT we do get to meet great friends along the
way and have a lot of fun. By far, this is the best part
of being in the business.

To Restore or Not Restore
A Paper Conservator’s
Perspective - Part II
In part I, I stated my personal philosophy on
conservation treatment of historic paper artifacts
and listed some condition issues that should help in
the decision of how soon a piece needs treatment.
In Part II, I will describe the treatment process,
offer guidelines on finding a conservator, and give
some tips on what you, as a collector, can do to
keep your collection in good condition.
The conservation process begins with a thorough
examination of the object. It will then be
photographed and a treatment proposal written. It
will be dry cleaned to remove surface dirt, and any
tape or adhesives will be removed at this time. The
media will then be tested for solubility. This is a
step that requires good judgement and experience,
as each piece will have its own nuances specific to
its particular media.
To Restore or Not Restore
A Paper Conservator’s Perspective - Part II
Continued from Page 6
After this, it will usually be washed in a water
bath. This will help to remove stains and yellowing,
and if there is an acidic cardboard backing, it will
be removed at this time. It will sometimes be
alkalized to protect the paper from future acidity.
Light, or other,
bleaching usually
comes next.
This will help to
remove, or lessen,
any remaining
stains and
yellowing. It will
then be flattened,
often lined with
Japanese tissue,
and if it had a cardboard backing, be re-backed
with an acid-free board. If there are pigment
losses, it will
be in-painted
with reversible
pigment.
The restored
piece will be
photographed,
encapsulated
in polyester
mylar, and a
final treatment
report will be completed and enclosed with the
object. Although there are other steps in treating
specific problems, these are the basic steps for
almost all paper objects.
To find a reputable conservator, I suggest
contacting AIC (American Institute for
Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works:
www.conservation-us.org). Most practicing
conservators are members, and are listed on their
website. A conservator with a PA (Professional
Associate) or Fellow beside their name means that
he/she is recognized by the organization to be an
experienced professional, adhering to the ethics
and proper procedures of conservation. Don’t be
intimidated at the prospect of shipping your items.
All conservators are used to receiving work that
is shipped to them, and you will be instructed as
to the packaging. Don’t select a conservator just
because he/she happens to be in your area. Get
references, look at websites, view before/after
images, and ask questions, particularly concerning
experience with restoration of advertising art.
And when you get a quote for the cost, try to keep
a proper perspective. You are used to paying
$500.00 and up for a set of tires that might last a
few years, so try not to balk at the thought of paying
a fair sum for a collectible to last a few lifetimes.
Now, what kinds of things can you do yourself
to care for and safeguard your collection? First, I
will tell you what not to do. If a paper object has
not been cleaned and treated for acid removal,
do not store it in a polyester or plastic envelope
unless it is to temporarily handle it or move it.
This has become the latest rage in the storage of
paper artifacts, and it is deadly to paper. Stored in
this manner for any length of time, an untreated
paper object will deteriorate more quickly because
the gases that will emanate from the paper (off
gassing) cannot escape. I remember two untreated
newspaper articles on the death of John F.
Kennedy, same article, same date, one having been
stored in plastic, one having been stored in a paper
folder. The difference was remarkable. The one
7
To Restore or Not Restore
A Paper Conservator’s Perspective - Part II
Continued from Page 7
stored in plastic was very yellow and brittle, the
other was much lighter and still somewhat flexible.
Please do not store your untreated paper objects in
an unbreathable material like polyester or plastic.
Store them in an acid-free folder or envelope. Once
they are professionally treated, polyester mylar is a
perfect storage container.
If you have untreated paper objects, they are
probably dirty. You can safely clean the surface
of paper yourself if you are very careful. Using a
magic rub eraser #1954, gently and lightly drag the
eraser along the surface, being careful around any
tears, holes, or weaknesses in the paper.
Work with the grain of the paper, usually up and
down, or parallel to the printed image. You can
wash off the eraser with water as it accumulates
dirt. Handle your paper objects as little as possible,
but before you do, always wash your hands with an
oil-free soap like Ivory, as even slight touching with
unwashed hands will leave urea oils, lotion, (this
mornings jam?), on the paper.
Never, ever, repair tears or holes by using tape,
glue, or any adhesive other than an archival repair
tape, and even then, use with caution. Never make
a repair on the front, or printed side.
This completes my basic lecture on paper
conservation. As I stated in Part I, the tsunami
of deteriorating paper collectibles is coming,
but I hope that the simple techniques of storage
and handling, and the condition issues making
treatment imperative, will help to keep your
collection from being part of the tidal wave. Good
luck, and keep collecting!

Basic Rules of Storage
For storage and displaying your collection,
the major concerns are light, heat, humidity,
pests, pollution, and water. Here are some
basic rules of proper storage:
1. Do not store or display paper objects in
direct sunlight, or in light of any kind for
extended periods of time, particularly if
they are high in UV, such as florescent or
high-intensity.
2. For temperature, the colder the better.
The general rule is, for every 10 degree
increase, the life of paper is cut in half.
3. The best humidity level is between 40%
and 50%. Once humidity reaches the mid
60’s, mold will begin to grow in a mere 36
hours.
4. Insects and rodents love paper, so keep
your environment clean and free of these
paper-loving creatures.
5. Pollution is ever present, no matter the
environment. Proper archival framing can
help protect from pollutants in the air.
6. Do not store near or under water pipes,
leaky roofs, faucets, or on the floor. 90%
of all the items I receive for treatment
have water stains.

Lunch Boxes & Action Figures ~ 1960’s to 1990’s
Deb Clarke is a dual collector, buying toy items
that match lunchboxes. If you carried a lunchbox,
most likely you had the figure to match as well as
comic books, etc. In this article, Deb shares examples from her collection to hopefully inspire you to
make a small display in your home or office.
As the curator
of a lunchbox
museum, I have
the best job in
the world. The
most sought
after in our collection of 750
museum pieces,
is the “Batman
and Robin”
lunch pail. The 1966-1967 box was made by the
Aladdin Company with artwork done by Elmer Lenhardt. I have it paired with the Mego Toy dynamic
duo of just eight inches, made in 1974. These items
are a fundamental part of any comic book reader or
vintage television viewer. I wish I had a dollar for
every time a collector asked me if they could buy
them. Another popular pair featured in the collection
is the box from
the television
show “Knight
Rider” with nice
artwork done
by Gene Lemery. It was made
by King Seeley
Thermos during
1984-1985. The
toy featuring Michael Knight is from Kenner Toys,
made in 1983. It came with his talking car Kit. This
show was a great example of 80’s over acting. Another
customer delight, is the two
variations of
the “Dukes of
Hazzard” made
by Seeley Thermos, during
1981 to 1983. The artwork
was also done by Mr. Lehnhardt. I have it set up with
a rare eight inch Mego Boss Hogg figure, made in
1981. There were two different metal boxes from the
popular, southern style TV series. They had different
actors portraying Bo Duke, during contract negotiations. It is fun to hear my customers tell me their
theory of why there are two. It is all about the money
in marketing and the items they make to do it.
Other favorites are “Mork
and Mindy”
made by King
Seeley, 19801981. The double jointed Mattel Mork doll
was issued first
and actually
came with a talking backpack in 1979. Of course the
other space collectibles will always remain popular,
such as the never ending saga of “Star Wars”. The
figures shown are examples of Kenner Toys’ 3 3/4
inch movie characters from 1977 to 1980. The Princess Leia was
made in Taiwan and ObiWon Kenobi
in Hong Kong
but both are
marked Kenner, 1977. The
blond Bespin
Luke Skywalker is from
Hong Kong, 1980, but had a variant that came
with brunette hair. The lunchbox is early George
Lucas, as it is marked 1977, King Seeley, and 20th
Century Corporation. Remember, girls collected
them too, so Princess Leia was a hot seller as well
as the “Charlie’s
Angels” dolls
made by Hasbro
in 1977. Their
beautiful faces
were caught
by artist Elmer
Lenhardt on
the lunch pail,
made by Aladdin, 1978.

Lunch Boxes & Action Figures ~ 1960’s to 1990’s
Continued from Page 9
The six inch
“Rambo” figure
and matching
lunchbox is the
most important part of the
exhibit. This is
because both
were made
by Anabasis
Investments, with the figure being a Coleco Toy
design. Both items were made in 1985. I remember
reading the urban legend from Scott Bruce’s first
edition of The Official Price Guide to Lunch Box
Collectibles (1989), of how “Rambo” was the last
metal box produced by the big Thermos companies,
for school safety reasons. They started making all
lunchboxes in hard plastic after this court decision
was made.
Usually the action figure came first, then other
items followed. This rule doesn’t always happen
with older boxes. If you are starting a collection,
it is best to look in your own toy boxes first. After
that start hitting the toy bins at garage sales, thrift
stores or other favorite picking venues. You will
see lunchboxes prominently displayed, as they are
larger and look better on a shelf. They will be easily
found when you start looking for your favorite.
I have several books on lunchboxes written by
expert collectors, I love them all. However the
only one I used to help me with artist and company
information for this article is Bruce Scott’s book,
mentioned above. It is my right hand when I want
to know what I am missing. It is also the most
important as the information is detailed. You want
to make sure you do not pick up reproductions on
accident, in your search for the Holy Grail. I use
other guides for pictures of the items.
The information on the
figures, I used
was all done
by hand with
a magnifying
glass looking for raised
marks of dates
and compa10
nies. It should
be a rule to
have one on
your neck
when looking
for toy items
of any kind.
If you can’t
find one, get a
pair of reading glasses but
by all means,
always have
fun collecting!
Our museum is located in Nice, California, in an
old firehouse on Hwy 20 East. It is free to the public MWF Noon to 4. There are over 750 lunchboxes
in the collection and over 100,000 cartoon, celebrity, or comic book items for sale. We strive to have
fun and make others smile when they come into our
venue. Have fun collecting lunch boxes.

Collector Tips
Beware of gold coins that have been drilled on
the edge, hollowed and refilled with another
metal.
Do not hang fine art objects on an east wall
where the sun can bleach out the colors quickly.
The more you handle objects the better the
chance is for breakage. Once a year careful
cleaning and feather dusting is sufficient.
Worm holes in furniture must meander, none go
in straight. Check with a straw from a broom
Just because an object is purchased from an
elderly person’s home does not make the item old.
It could have been given to them as a gift just a
short time ago.
Do You Remember These?
“Saturday morning serials chapters 1 through 15, fly paper, penny loafers, Lucky Strike
Green flat tops, sock hops, Studebaker, ‘Pepsi, please’ Ah, do you remember these?”
These were the words of the Statler Bros song from 1972.
Today the song
would say, “antique
shops, local auctions, no internet,
no buyer fees”. Ah
do you remember
these? Collecting
has changed over
the year but the popularity of collecting has not
changed and collectors
have embraced the
internet with open
arms. What has been
lost with the internet
collecting is personal
contact with sellers,
payment options,
customer service and a
place to find only “vintage” items and no reproductions or limited editions.
Carter and Irene Davis, remembered those good
old days and they came up with a way to mix the
internet with things they remembered. icollect247.
com was born and is giving buyers the one-on-one
collecting experience, which has been lost on the
internet. Our quality
sellers only offer “real”
vintage pieces, at a
wide range of prices
and guarantee
their listings
to be before
1980. Each
seller comes
with a background in the
antique business, offers different payment options
and has a 100% feedback
rating with the site. They
are available either by
phone or by the internet to
answer questions and accept orders. Sellers enjoy
a flat $35 web rent fee,
instead of the high fees on
other sites.
The site has been growing
and has recently added new
categories and subcategories.
With over 5 million hits and over 20,000 listings,
shoppers are finding it a refreshing buying experience.
