The
Canterbury
The canterbury, a rare find in our times, was
developed in the late 1780’s in England, and was
popular throughout the Victorian (1837-1901) and
Edwardian (1901-1911) periods. The small, portable
and very decorative piece of furniture was originally
designed to store sheet music. A canterbury stands
on four legs with castors, so it is easily moved. It
has an open topped rack with slatted compartments
for sheet music; or newspapers, books, magazines
or any loose paper that might be sitting around.
If often has a drawer underneath so it suddenly
becomes a convenient place for storage. Initially
mahogany and rosewood were the common woods
used to make them. Later, in the early 1800’s, other
woods such as bird’s eye maple and walnut were
used. The name is said to come from the Archbishop
of Canterbury because he commissioned one.
It became increasingly more ornate during the
Victorian period which was also a time when a
great many canterburies were produced due to the
Victorian passion for the piano.
Editor’s Comment
Welcome to the September/October 2013 issue of Discovering ANTIQUES!
The Flood! What an event. It began the day I left Calgary to go to Edmonton to do the distribution of the July/August
issue. What appeared to be another dreary, rainy day became the headlines on the news I watched in Edmonton that evening. It
seemed surreal to be watching these events being televised from where I lived and not thousands of miles away or on the other
side of the world as they usually seem to. Fortunately, my home, and those of any family and most friends, was not affected.
One description I was given of what the flood waters did in some buildings was to just lift everything up and then put it
down again, leaving everything wet and covered in a thick layer of muck. In the same building, but a different area, it seemed
that the water chose to toss the contents (chairs, desks, tables, etc.) around and break them before receding and again leaving
what was left covered in the same thick muck. I found that really interesting, it almost gave the flood water personality.
After the initial shock, several things occurred to me. One is how quickly something like this can happen, and how little
control there is over the forces of Mother Nature. Also, in all the piles of destroyed and contaminated items that were standing
along the streets in parts of Calgary or High River; how many priceless old pieces of furniture, or household items were there
than are gone forever? (Understand, I am not comparing any of this to the treasured family pictures, or sentimental items,
etc.) Some of those things might have crossed the Atlantic, come across the country in a covered wagon and served their
households for generations only to be gone in what seems like an instant! For those of us who admire and appreciate beautiful
old things, the potential of what might have been lost in the floods is a nightmare.

September / October 2013 • 9 Vincent Van Gogh self portrait 1887.
Vincent
Van Gogh
One of the great
post-Impressionist painters
I
by Catharina VanTooren, Roseberry Antiques, Calgary, AB
t is said that to be an artist/painter in
France (or any other country for that
matter) meant to be poor most of the time.
Writer André Gide said, “The great artist is the one
uplifted by want, to whom obstacle is but a springboard. Art
is born of frustration, kept alive through struggle and dies
of liberty.”
During the mid-1800’s many restaurants in Paris
let near-starving artists decorate the walls of their
establishments for the price of a dinner or a glass of wine.
One of those food deprived artists was Paul Cézanne (18391906) who, along with Claude Monet (1840-1926) gave
painting a decisive push in a new direction by breaking
away from traditional painting (the so-called Barbizon
School technique) and thus moving further away from
photographic realism. This controversial style became
known as IMPRESSIONISM. While Cézanne later on
abandoned the Impressionist technique, others adopted
and perfected it. Claude Monet is regarded as one of the
founders of Impressionism. Edouard Manet (1832-1883)
is seen as a fore-runner, while Edgar Degas (1834-1917),
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) and Pierre Auguste Renoir
(1841-1919), among others, followed suit. But for a short
time no artist, other than Monet, could be more faithful to
the Impressionist technique than Vincent Van Gogh. While
the previously mentioned artists all strayed from this style
to find their own, Van Gogh used it to demonstrate his
emotions. In the aftermath of the Impressionist upheaval,
Van Gogh, upon his arrival in Paris in 1886, responded to
the message expressed by impressionists. This message was
simple: concentrate on the general impression of a scene or
an object, use unmixed primary colours and small brush
strokes to simulate actual reflected light, while omitting
detail. The Impressionists exercised ‘en plein-air’ (openair or outside) painting, hereby basing their paintings on
immediate visual impressions in natural light. Objects
taken out of the art studio’s artificial light were less
harsh; shadows were less uniformly black or grey. The
eyes will discover actual exciting images and not what we
are supposed to see according to the academic rules. The
human eye is a splendid instrument. Give it a hint and the
brain will translate it to ‘see the entire form,’ which we know
will be there. One must know how to look at such paintings.
This sums up the Impressionists’ philosophy.
Vincent Van Gogh did not start out as an Impressionist
painter. He did not start out as a painter at all! Born on March
30, 1853 in Groot-Zundert, a small place in the southern
part of The Netherlands, this son of the village pastor had a
puritanical upbringing. The men in his family had been or
were either ministers or art dealers, two opposite professions
that formed and educated little Vincent each in its own way.
At an early age he had a profound respect for earnest and
hard working people. He initially pursued a career in art,
with an apprenticeship in The Hague, London and Paris.
He acquainted himself with the works from The Hague
School students, like his cousin Anton Mauve, followed by
the Barbizon School painters in France. However, painting
did not seem to be the right vocation for Vincent. He turned
to religion instead and tried sincerely, from 1878 until 1880,
to become a pastor, following in his father’s footsteps. He
failed. While spending time as a lay preacher among the very
poor workers in a coal mining district in Belgium, Vincent
saw first hand human suffering and misery. There in the
Borinage, he was drawn to the human suffering because
he suffered himself. The noticeable hardship affected him
deeply and remained with him throughout his entire life.
Back at home in 1881 he started to draw; to put on paper
his thoughts that were often in turmoil. That same year
he moved to The Hague where his drawings became more
serious. Although stiff and clumsy, his drawings displayed
his deep respect for the underprivileged and indigent. “The
Hague-period” ended in the fall of 1883 and Vincent spent
the rest of that year in the province of Drenthe. Restless, he
moved again to Nuenen, a small town where he lived among
hard working peasants. Here Vincent created his first
masterpiece (although, of course, at that time it was not
considered as such). “The Potato Eaters” (1885) sublimely
translates the frugal life of the peasants. Van Gogh himself
had said, “It would be wrong to give a peasant picture a
conventional smoothness.” He saw himself not as a painter
of peasants but as a peasant painter. In painting suffering
and humiliation, Vincent could convey his own emotional
state. While other people shied away , Vincent felt at home
among labourers, peasants and weavers, many of whom he
immortalized on canvas.
During the Nuenen period (Nov. 1883-1885) Vincent
was strongly influenced by the works of Jean François Millet
(1814-1875). During the French Revolution of 1848, a group
of artists gathered in the French village of Barbizon to
follow the style of John Constable and look at nature from a
different perspective. This gathering became known as the
Barbizon School. One of these French artists was François
Millet, who wanted to paint scenes from peasant life as it
really was. This philosophy attracted Vincent.
In 1886, the time came for Vincent to move to Paris
to broaden his horizons and be closer to his brother and
confidante Theo. They had corresponded extensively
for many years, Theo encouraging his older brother;
soothing him on occasion as Vincent’s mental state often
needed reassurance and guidance. The almost un-skilled

painter from the North found solace and inspiration in the
controversial style of the French Impressionist painters.
He admired Georges Seurat (1859-1891) for his technique
but did not adopt it. Vincent’s early Parisian works are
typical Impressionistic, but even for him the style became
too urban. The blurred images were opposed to Vincent’s
new discovery: Japonism. He admired the neatly outlined
drawing of figures, emphasizing their expressiveness. In
contrast to the elementary rule of European painting,
the Japanese master Utamaro (1753-1806) would show
his figures partly cut off. This unconventional approach
attracted many Impressionist artists. Vincent was also
drawn to the Japanese world of pure colours. In 1888 he
moved to the south of France to a little place called Arles,
which he called ‘his Japan.’ The vibrant and sun-drenched
colours spoke to him and he could see colours he never
saw before. In one of his letters to Theo he writes, “…the
emotions are sometimes so strong that one works without
being aware of working …and strokes come with a sequence
and coherence like words in a speech or letter.”
He was so excited about that phenomenon that
he invited other Parisian artists to come and join him.
Eventually his friend Paul Gauguin arrived but the
friendship took a blow and on Christmas Eve 1889, Gauguin
left after a fight and Vincent, in an attack of insanity, cut off
his own ear. Theo rushed to Arles from Paris, but the damage
was done. A very disturbed Vincent was placed in a mental
institution in Saint-Rémy. The confinement was suffocating
for Vincent, who continued to paint, but, without models
or sitters, had to paint from memory or from looking out
his window. Sometimes he was, under supervision, allowed
outside. The results of his work were sombre, melancholic
paintings, lacking the colourful openness of his Arles
landscapes yet depicted his state of mind. Upon his release
from the asylum about a year later, Vincent settled in Auverssur-Oise, a town north of Paris that had been frequented by
many Impressionist artists. Theo had arranged for Doctor
Paul Gachet to observe his brother and guide him when
necessary. Vincent’s first impression of the quite radical
thinking doctor was that he would not be able to cure
Vincent. But he liked the doctor and even painted several
portraits of him. Dr. Gachet was an avid collector of avantgarde art and brought understanding and compassion into
the relationship. Vincent wrote to Theo, “I have found a true
friend in Dr. Gachet, something like another brother, so

to dedicate his thoughts to a blank canvas. Every painting,
every sketch had a deep-rooted meaning behind it. Vincent
was a sensitive thinker; his canvasses were a reflection of
his soul.
He also put his thoughts on paper. The extensive
correspondence between Vincent and his brother Theo has
been saved and The Complete Letters of Vincent Van Gogh has
been published by the New York Graphic Society (© 1966).
For the Impressionists it was a struggle to achieve
acceptance. It took quite some time before the public
learned to appreciate an impressionist painting. But it did
come eventually! They had to take a few steps back from the
painting and let the miracle that enfolded before their eyes
perform its magic. The puzzling patches and juxtaposed
brush strokes would then come to life, giving meaning to
the artist’s intentions. Unfortunately, many Impressionist
and post-Impressionist painters did not live long enough to
reap their rewards. The humble and often disturbed Vincent
Van Gogh had no idea of the fame he was to achieve.

number of paintings. The colours were strong but lacked
the radiance from the Arles canvasses. Seeing objects in a
different light, Vincent rediscovered his connection with the
earth, just like in Nuenen. Moreover, Vincent had matured
as an artist and his paintings showed his gradual ability
The numerous works of Vincent Van Gogh are, if not
in private collections, displayed in various museums worldwide. Amsterdam boasts the Van Gogh Museum, a must-see
for the modern art admirer. His final work was entitled
‘Wheatland with Crows” (1890) which Vincent painted enplein-air in the field where he shot himself to death a few
days after completing the painting. The note left behind in
his pocket was addressed to Theo and read, “We can only
make our pictures speak.”

September / October 2013 • 15 Sasha Dolls
by Dawn-Marie Nokleby, Doll Club of Edmonton, Edmonton, AB
conclusion
I
n the first part of their story we learned
that the Sasha doll was designed to
represent all of the children of the world
and has roots that stretch back across more
than a century. Created by, and named after artist and
humanitarian, Sasha Morgenthaler, her training included
both painting and sculpture, and much later midwifery. It
was the midwife training that stimulated the production of
the first Sasha dolls to be used in the training of midwives.
After her husband’s death in 1962, Sasha needed a new
focus in her life and strove to find a way to make the Sasha
doll available as well as affordable for children everywhere.
In 1964 under the name “Sasha Dolls” her designs
were manufactured and marketed by the German company
Puppenfabrik Hans Gotz. These dolls were unique in many
ways. They were in scale, they were asymmetrical, their skin
tone was a blend of many colours and their expression is
open and receptive to whatever feeling their owner wishes
to project onto them. Gotz would continue to manufacture
the dolls until 1970 and then again between 1995 and 2001.
Just a year later, in 1965, “Sasha Dolls” were also
being produced in England by Frido/Trendon/Sasha Dolls
Ltd., who would continue production until 1986.
Although there are certainly enough similarities
between the three production runs to easily identify all of
them as “Sashas,” there are also some distinct differences.
There were actually several different head sculptures used
over the years. The biggest variance was found within the
early Gotz dolls which used several of the head sculptures
and which hand-finished the dolls, so there is a greater
difference in their expressions due to the painting of the
features. All of the Gotz dolls from both runs are marked on
their backs and necks, the English dolls are unmarked. You
will hear Sashas referred to as “no nose”, “no navel” and
“no philtrum” depending on which sculpture was used for
the head and the body.
For the collector, there are detailed lists available to
identify dolls based on features, markings, hair colour and
costuming.
In 1970 a Sasha baby was introduced at the English
factory. Originally these were anatomically correct and all
of the brunettes were girls while the blondes were boys. In
June of 1978 the gendered dolls were discontinued to assist
in marketing.
Sasha Morgenthaler passed away in 1975. She must
have been pleased at the success of her beloved dolls and
the joy that they have brought to both children and adults
around the world.
Still highly sought after, I think all collectors of
modern dolls nurture a secret hope that some day the Sasha
Dolls will once again go back into production. They remain
an enduring legacy for a talented and visionary lady.

T
he edible embellishments that make
ordinary ingredients taste extraordinary,
that define culinary styles, that rescue
the too bland, or that reinvent our perception of how meals
should be presented, flavoured and served; are often those
whose containers or servers are later found to be the most
collectable.
Mustard pots, alone or as part of a “condiment
set,” have always intrigued me. Generally small, round
and squat, they were often of humble materials, but were
always endearing. With their cunning little spoons and
clever little lids, they appeal to the child in all of us. Not that
their contents were at all childish or even very attractive to
children; most mustard concoctions are pungent and fiery,
such that a little goes a looong way.
Mustard is, in fact, one of the most widespread of
flavouring agents used in cuisines around the world. It is
also one of the oldest. Mentioned in the earliest biblical
accounts and in tracts from the East, it was known to the
Romans as well. Early Europeans likely gathered the first
green mustard sprigs along with dandelion, purslane, cress,
wild lettuce, nettles and numerous other spring-sprouting
plants. Hungry for greens, eager for some vitamins, they
probably ate them fresh by the handful; but also learned
that simmered in broth with grains or added to stewed
meats, they gave flavour, texture and diversity to a starchand protein-rich diet. Of the many culinary “pot greens,”
mustard is probably one of the most versatile. Today, young
plant tips still add zip to leafy salads and to butter-sautéd

mixed green vegetables; delicious, served simply dressed
with salt and a few drops of vinegar.
It is the mature mustard seeds which have provided
the greatest impact to the taste buds of hungry humans. If
you have ever cracked a couple of seeds between your teeth,
the first sensation is one of a certain sweetness, quickly
followed by a very sharp bite on the tongue, then a lingering
pepperiness, and finally a mellow feeling of tingling taste
bud alertness. Whole mustard played a huge role in pickling
and curing down through the ages. In combination with
salt, vinegar, horseradish and other strong-flavoured plants,
an environment was created that was hostile to pathogenic
bacteria, allowing surplus seasonal food to be stored
(under the right conditions) for long periods of time. Meats,
vegetables and fruits could thus be stored away for future
use or to be transported for later consumption, elsewhere.
Today, whole mustard seed is found in cold cuts, cured
corned beef, pickles, sauerkraut, dressings for salads and
potatoes, and in the many pickled herring dishes essential
to the diet of a large number of Europeans! Whole mustard

September / October 2013 • 23 A collection of mustard pots in a wooden Keen’s Mustard box
seed can be found in the spice section of your local grocery
store – much of it grown right here in Alberta. We produce
tons of “white’ (that is: yellow) mustard seed, while France
grows “black” mustard used in Dijon prepared mustards,
which is blended with wild mustard seed on occasion; it
is sometimes possible to source this at ethnic or specialty
markets.
It did not take long for early cooks to discover that
crushing or grinding flavouring ingredients, like mustard,
released more of the volatile oils, gave a stronger flavour and
reduced the amount needed to yield a tasty dish. Ancient
stone kerns, or grinding wheels (pictured on page 20),
hand-turned, were used to create mustard flour. The seeds
were fed in through the hole in the stone, finely ground
mustard eventually dribbled out the spout and into the
bowl. A strong arm on the handle to turn it, (much like an
old drill bit was turned to drill a hole) resulted in quantities
of ground mustard that could be sold at market or utilized

at the annual slaughter and preserving week, held in the
late fall. Lesser quantities for household use were ground
as needed in a heavy earthenware or hand-carved wooden
bowl. Either a round stone or a discarded cannon ball was
traditionally used, in a circular motion, to crush the seeds.
A mortar and pestle will achieve the same results today. Dry
ground mustard is a vital ingredient in French Onion Soup,

September / October 2013 • 25 baked chicken, stewed pork, egg dishes, sauces for seafood

1742 in London, with their distinctive red and yellow tins, is
still available today. “By Appointment to Her Majesty Queen

available in several sizes. Older tins make a fine collectable
amidst other old food containers, on a kitchen shelf or

Alberta. It has dovetailed corners intricately fitted together,
making the box more durable and stable, even though it is
constructed of thin pieces of pine. Unfortunately, at some
time a well-meaning refurbisher painted the outside of the
box black. Too bad.
Prepared mustard is the type of mustard we are most
familiar with today. Every hot dog roast or burger barbeque
requires the ubiquitous yellow squeeze bottle from Heinz
or French’s. Liberally squished over burgers and smokies
the distinctive taste of mustard can cover a multitude of
cooking errors. It can perk up the laziest potato salad and
can give zing to the everlasting vegetable dips served as
accompaniments whenever outdoor cooking takes place.
This is not to say that I am disdainful towards
prepared mustards…it is just that I would like to suggest
that making our own only takes minutes and creates a fresh,
unique and tailored condiment to enjoy. Mustard laced with
Alberta honey, fresh sour cream or apple cider vinegar will
give a new twist and meaning to good condiments for good
food. Try the Finnish and Alberta Mustards.
Mustard has traditionally been served at the table
in small pots with lids that usually had a slot for a little
spoon. Traditionally these spoons were made of horn or
wood, which were not affected by the vinegar. Metal was
(especially silver or iron), giving an off flavour to the
mustard. Of the mustard pots you see pictured, the majority
are of glazed ceramic or stoneware; including some made
by Royal Winton, Carltonware, Medalta and Price Brothers.
Pretty porcelain pots from Silesia, festooned with rose
garlands; from Nippon, painted with flowers and from
Royal Bayruth adorned with little sausage links and herbs,
can also be found. The English often preferred crystal pots,
some plump and ornately cut; others taller and slender, with
elegant cut panels and hinged sterling silver lids. American
mustard pots can be collected in swirled slag glass or crisp
milk glass, in a variety of stout shapes, some hand-painted
MUSTARD in ornate script, and often with a year date as
well. These charming little condiment containers are a
great choice for those without a lot of room for displaying
their collection. A shelf or two, or a long tray will keep the
collection nicely corralled.
They are great fun to collect, use and enjoy, without
having to “break the bank.” Next issue: vinegar cruets, salt
cellars and mayonnaise servers.

The Calgary Stampede
100 Years of Cowboys and Indians
Roy Rogers and Dale Evens, Parade Marshals for the Calgary Stamepde 1969.
N
ow that the Stampede is over, I would
like to congratulate the Stampede
committee, staff and volunteers for
the miraculous recovery after the flood such
that the 2013 Calgary Stampede remained the “Greatest
Outdoor Show on Earth”. As always I attended the show
spending three days on the grounds catching up with old
friends. These can be found at the 1060am Radio booth, the
Blacksmith’s Championship, the Grain Academy and even
the GMC tent. When I think back, there are many people
over the years that I have met and had my picture taken
with, or later corresponded with. For example, country
music singers Leroy Van Dyke, Bill Anderson, Ray Grief and
the Kentucky Headhunters, and other western singers like
my friend Eli Barsi, the Sons of the Pioneers, fiddler Roy
Warhurst. Television personalities like Tom Jackson and
Buckshot from CFCN TV.
Over the years, a lot of movie, television, and
singing cowboys and Indians have appeared at the Calgary
Stampede. As mentioned in the July/August 2013 issue, it
all started with a New York cowboy named Guy Weadick in
1912. Guy had many famous friends in the entertainment
business as both he and his wife Florence did vaudeville
for a while. The first was Tom Mix (silent movie cowboy)
who Weadick worked with in the Miller Brothers 101 Wild
West Show previous to 1912. He also tried his hand at acting
when he was one of the investors as well as an actor in the
movie His Destiny (1928) which was filmed entirely in the
Calgary area. Another of Weadick’s friends was silent movie
actor Hoot Gibson who came to Calgary in 1925 to star in a
western called “Calgary Stampede” filmed at the Calgary
Stampede. Finally, after many years, I found a DVD copy
of this movie. This film has some of the earliest stampede
rodeo footage you will ever see, including the chuckwagon
races which were introduced at the 1923 Calgary Stampede.
A Montana native by the name of Charlie Russell
came to the 1919 Calgary Stampede. At the time Charlie
Russell was the premiere western artist in North America.
While at the 1919 Stampede, it was said that he camped out
at the Indian village. He claimed he felt more at home there.
In the 1940’s and 1950’s two men, one who worked
as a rodeo clown (bull fighter), and one who rode and
trained buffalos made regular appearances. These two men
were Slim Pickens and Buffalo Buddy Heaton. Slim worked
many rodeos before Hollywood ‘came calling.’ My Dad
remembered Slim bull fighting in Medicine Hat, dressed as
a Mexican toreador.
Slim Pickens working as a clown for the bull riding event at the Calgary
Stampede.
It wasn’t until the 1950’s and 1960’s that the majority
of the movie and television cowboys really came. Some of
the biggest names showed up for the Calgary Stampede.
Here is a brief list which includes 1957: Alfred “Lash” LaRue
(movie actor), 1958: Duncan Renaldo (The Cisco Kid,
television), 1959: Gene Barry (Bat Masterson, television),
Tex Ritter (actor in movies, television and also recorded
1964, Left to right Slim Pickens, Maurice Hartnett Stampede General
Manager, Wilf Carter, Gordon Love Stampede President,Jay Silverheels,Tonto,of

music), Johnny Mack Brown (movie actor), 1960: a return
visit of the Cisco Kid, Montie Montana and even Johnny
Cash paid the Stamped a visit. 1961: The Arizona Cowboy,
Rex Allen, and his horse KoKo performed, Wilf Carter
entertained for the first time at the Stampede. It was a
D’Arcy Scott attractions show with Hank Snow. Admission
was $1.50 and children got in for 75¢. In 1962 The King
of the Cowboys, Roy Rogers and his wife, Dale Evens and
their children visited the Stampede. In those days they
performed at a lot of fairs. 1963: the Three Stooges, 1964:
Wilf Carter starred at the evening grandstand show, which,
some 30 years later, he admitted was one of the highlights
of his life. Also appearing that year were Slim Pickens and
Jay Silverheels (Tonto, Lone Ranger’s sidekick). 1965: Two
returning cowboys were Montie Montana and Rex Allen.
By the late 1960’s, the appearance of the stars
had tapered off. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were back
in 1969. They were in the parade riding in a Pontiac
convertible owned by the Heron family of Calgary. The
car was decorated for the parade by Nudie’s Rodeo Tailors,
Hollywood, California. Nudie’s made a lot of the stars
costumes, both movie cowboys and country singers. It was
in the 1990’s that the last two ‘big-named’ western actors
made an appearance. Dennis Weaver, who acted in many
western television shows and movies, was Parade Marshall
in 1996 and Jack Palance who did a few western movies
including “City Slickers” was Parade Marshall in 1997.
Wilf Carter made his final appearance at the
1988 Calgary Stampede as part of the Family Pancake
Breakfast at the grandstand which is held the first Sunday
of the Stampede. This was a real highlight for me. After
performing, Wilf signed every autograph. There are always

a few cowboys who don’t fit any category. They weren’t
contestants, singers or actors from the movies or television.
One such individual is Medicine Hats’ Alf Turlock. For 40
years Alf rode a horse with a silver mounted saddle, fancy
bridle and clothes similar to the 1960 western stars. Alf
appeared in many parades in the “Glamour Division”
winning several trophies. His saddle, bridle and clothes
are on display in the Medicine Hat Museum. I played many
games of crib with him and listened as he talked about
friends like Slim Pickens, and other western stars including
some of the cast from the television show Bonanza.
on Calgary Stampede posters and most appeared in the
programmes. The Cisco Kid handed out 8x10 photos of
himself and his horse at the Stampede and Slim Pickens
was the subject of a few rodeo postcard action shots.
Over the years a great many collectibles relating
to information or people mentioned in this article were
produced. Wilf Carter chose Calgary Stampede images for
many of his album covers and some of the stars appeared

In the Feb/Mar/Apr issue we told you about the first book in
this series, The Road to Reno This novel, by Robin Williams
(who is also an antiques dealer in Vancouver), follows the
escapades of Frank Ball and his staff from Regency Antiques
in Vancouver. The treasure being sought is a valuable artifact
which was brought back to the United States after WW II.
Trying to stay ahead of other dealers from Vancouver in the
chase for the artifact, as well as a new player, a glamorous
dealer from Toronto; makes for an interesting story which
ends with surprising results.

Flood Damage
by Jan Mather, Editor, Discovering Antiques, Calgary, AB
F
or those of you who have actually lived
through the floods of 2013, the following
information is probably not new to you.
However, at lot of the data can apply to any kind of “water
damage,” not just a wild, overflowing river in springtime.
One thing that kept niggling at me was why was it
necessary to remove everything from the racetrack and
infield at the Calgary Stampede grounds? Animals would
soon be back on it during Stampede. What I discovered was
that the water in the Bow River was found to contain not
only raw sewage and other bacteria but also the deadliest
form of E. coli. It was with this information that I finally
understood the importance of redoing the racetrack and
infield. And, cleaning anything that could be salvaged with
bleach, or strong solvents to kill the bacteria, otherwise the
items would have to be discarded. Unlike a “clean water”
flood which causes water damage – the difference is that
those items, for the most part, can be cleaned and reused.
Not so with these flood waters and the slimy muck that was
left behind on everything when the water receded.
Other things I learned about flood damage (some
were obvious, others not):
Water damaged wood – depending on how high the
water got the wood could possibly be cleaned and the item
salvaged, bearing in mind that most pieces of furniture
are not finished on the bottom which would allow water
to penetrate. Soft woods (eg. cedar, pine) soak up moisture
faster than hard woods like oak. If there was particleboard
involved, it would soak up the water and have to be thrown
out.
Molds – to avoid mold growth, water damaged items
need to be moved to a cool, dry place with fans within 48
hours. Mold poses a health threat and if present a mask and
gloves should be worn. Property like textiles, furs, papers
and books can be frozen until they can be treated. Wet
mold smears and will spread. If possible, let it dry and then
brush it off outdoors. Mold can be killed by spraying it with
isopropanol (rubbing alcohol).
What cannot be salvaged – insulation materials,
particleboard furniture, mattresses, box springs, stuffed
toys, pillows, padding, cushions and furniture coverings
damaged by flood waters.
Pictures – those family photographs whether in frames
or in an album need to be kept damp in order to get the best
results when trying to salvage them, and a professional will
likely be needed.
Important papers and documents – put them
in a freezer until you have time to deal with them. Find
out what can be replaced and what must be salvaged. Then
you can thaw to work on, or throw away because it can be
replaced.
Hopefully this helps someone save something!
