Show Page B7 Smart Collector Dje Etmeg-ttfrgpEtifre- Thursday, November 4, 2004 nt A Question & Answer Column about Antiques & Collectibles by Danielle Amet Tribune Media Services Eye exam simple way to detect diabetes An estimated 40,000 Collectible bottles, empty and full I read your column but havent seen info on miniature liquor bottles. My father gave me a collection of about 200, Q: some dating' from the late 1800s. Some are figurals. How do I research value ? June, Owasso, Okla. A: Youre right, June. We need to give minis their due. Yes, there are collectors, but first we need to address the value of old vs. new mini liquor bottles. The vintage miniature bottles collected on air flights or in liquor stores are a hard sell. Collections sell on eBay for $10 or less. Old bottles such as yours are a different story. Many sell for hundreds of dollars, and some go well into four figures. Since you reached me by key www.miniaturebottles.com for the informative site of the Midwest Miniature Bottle (MMBC) Collectors. This js a good place to start. Dont be misled by the title this group is international. Use the site to learn about regional bottle clubs (many hold shows) and specialty collectors. Youll find whiskey or bourbon specialists, and more. Members seek older bottles, so youll be in good company. Go through the collector Web site links to see FYI: Mini liquors are in Bottles included Identification and Price Guide, Fourth Edition, by Michael Polak ($17.95, from Krause). The text lists regional bottle clubs. Schiffer Publishing plans a book this spring that will include mini whiskey figurals. Q: We have a sealed bottle Canadian of whiskey, with the tax stamp still attached. Any value ? Lauderdale, Fla. groups or individuals to contact. You can join the spirits on the secondary market? Collectors. But smart collectors are picky; they buy to round out their cellar or collection. This whiskey may not be a desired and subscribe to their magazine. This is not an area where eBay will be a major help on pricing, because the old is not widely represented there. I know it will take some digging (and bottle collectors do love to dig for old bottles!), but connecting with collectors is the best way to learn. MMBC Nightly Condo Rentals A: Who buys type. caveat: Another Traditionally, spirits age, or mature, in wooden casks. Bottled spirits can evaporate over the years. In selling, the possibility of evaporation is a distinct liability. Because Europeans are major buyers of desirable vintage American spirits, a check with London spirits Belinda expert Bushby (belindabalthazarwine.com) may be helpful.

Rachel Moody, 260-824- 5 Can you tell me about a Lenox bedpan? I checked with the company, and they told me that they did make some as part of a war effort. Vve checked all over and cant find Ralph, any info on value. Huntersville, N.C. Q: A: Bedpans arent our thing, but since your question raises a valid point on collecting, here goes. When one thinks Of Lenox China, what are the operative themes? Tradition. Quality. Taste. This is the company that was first to produce china for the White House. Thats the Lenox that buyers want. Bedpans, even porcelain ones by Lenox, are another story. Every Lenox reseller that counts told us the same thing: Never saw one, there is no demand, hence no market. There the story would end, but for this: A check on eBay turned up one, with a tray, at the buy it now rate of $10. There were no bidders. Q: We picked up an organ at a garage sale for $150. Is it a kids toy or an antique? My kids love to pump the pedals. Deanna, Fairfax, Va. A: From photos sent, the e reader has a handsome, upright pump organ from the late 1800s or early 1900s.

Detecting and treating the disease early is critical to minimizing or avoiding complications. Optometrists can serve as the first line of detection and diagnosis for diabetes. During a comprehensive eye exam, an optometrist can see a patients blood vessels directly, allowing the doctor to see signs and symptoms of vascular diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Your eyes are the only place in your body that a doctor can look inside at your blood vessels and see whats going on without cutting you open, says Dr. John Brand, who helps run the optometry clinic for diabetics at the VA Medical Center in Salt Lake City. Dr. Brand says that when problems are detected, optometrists work closely with the patients primary care provider to insure that appropriate testing and follow-u- p measures are taken, and to insure that the doctor is aware of what is going on with the Recreation affordable and effective tometrist to plan for more frequent exams in order to detect and prevent serious vision problems caused by the or 444-677- 7, -r- Each office is independently owned and operated.
