Antique or Junque By Gene Gary Veneer blisters can be doctored Q: I have an old dining table with a veneer top. There are two places where the veneer has become loose, making two small raised patches or areas, about 3 inches in diameter. Both areas are near the center of the top. Is there any way of making a repair? - Amy J.D. A: As a rule, veneer blis- ters such as you describe are quite easily repaired'by sim- ply cutting through the ve- neer across the blister with a very sharp knife or a.safety razor blade (the type having a single edge) . Work careful- ly to prevent splitting or otherwise damaging the ve- neer. Once you get it cut through, pry it carefully apart at the cut and force' glue under both halves. Then place about threethickness- es of heavy paper over the area and weight it until dry. You will need a fairly heavy weight, something weighing at least 25 pounds. ' After the glue is dry - and allow plenty of time - lift off the weight, and remove ad- hering portions of the paper with a damp cloth. Sand the surface smooth and refinish to match the balance of the top. Treat both blisters in the same manner. Regarding your column early in March, you spoke of refurbishing fiberglass panels with "C1 Brushable Resurfacer" from Chemi- glas Inc. of San Diego. We have tried unsuccess- fully to get a telephone num- ber for Chemiglas Inc. or to locate the product in the Los Angeles area. Could you please provide further. assistance in obtaining this information? - John D. A: Sorry, but this company must have gone out of busi- ness. We have had numerous inquiries such as yours, but have been unable to make any contact or find any traces of the company. Our information originally came from a brochure published by thecoinpany named above. We have recently discov- ered another product called "Gel -Glass", which is a fi- berglass cleaner. and sealer, but not a new finish. This is manufactured by • T.R. In- dustries, P.O. Box 1533, Lyn- wood, CA. This product should be available. at many paint dealers. We regret the misleading information previously pub- lished.. Q: 1 have an aluminum patio chair that leaves a black stain on clothing. A grayish coating covers the metal. What is this and how can 1 prevent it? - Tex W.W. A: An oxide coating forms on many metals exposed to the atmosphere, especially aluminum. The only thing you can do about - and it is. only a stopgap cure - is clean the metal and coat the "wear" surfaces with a metal lacquer. Any clean finishing material will do, but genuine metal lacquer will give you the best results. Q: Can hardboard panels be used on walls around a bathtub? -Clare J.H. A: Yes, but get the kind that have a plastic surface, - 11111111R11 l THE EASY WAY TO ROLL COINS NO NEED TO COUNT fi 01. w• $499Z $?99 plus ea. or for tax Coin wrapping paper free at all banks Mount Forest Confederate Mount Forest. 323-1550 Listowel Banner 188 Wallace Ave. N. Listowel. 291 -1 660 Q. I believe this pitcher was made in the mid -1800s. It is marked "W & Co., Etruria, Hanley" on the bot- tom. I believe Wedgwood and Etruria were in business for a short time. Can you tell me more about this and give me some idea of its value? It is also marked "Rd. 53735". A. Your pitcher was, made by Podmore Walker & Co. in Hanley, England. The British Registry number in- dicates that it was registered in 1886. "Etruria" is the name of the pattern; it is also the name of a town iii England. Your pitcher should be worth about $75. Q. When I asked you to evaluate some old books, you told me that "Winesburg, Ohio" by Sherwood Ander- son was worth over $100; it was published in 1919: You told me that my antique Bible (1867) was practically worthless. I don't under- stand. A. "Winesburg, Ohio was a first edition. Collectors seek first editions of well- known authors, even those published quite recently. There were more Bibles printed than all other books combined; they are not scarce. Most of the Ameri- can Bibles published before the •Revolutionary War are quite valuable; they are scarce. Q. Can you explain the dif- . ference , between porcelain made by Johann Haviland and other Haviland china? There seems to be a big dif- ference in the prices.. A. Johann Haviland is hotel -grade china made in Bavaria since 1937. It is not antique; it is not fine quality. It is a division of Rosenthal China. The expensive Haviland was made by Haviland & Co. in Limoges, 'France. It is very fine quality and beauti- fully decorated. The com- pany was founded in 1866 and was the successor to the company founded by David Haviland in 1852. If you find any of the first china marked "Haviland Brothers", you will be very lucky. 100 billion gallons of water used daily The total amount of fresh water consumed in the United States - that is, made available through such processes as evapora- tion, transpiration or incor- porated into products or crops for subsequent possi- ble withdrawals - aver- aged 100 billion gallons a day in the Untied States in 1980, the latest year for which figures are avail- able. ©OMB= OWCIFJLLi ©UUOUM ®ftIUMMA ©UIdU MUUMUU O© ODUMU UMME MME10 MOM MUM =MEM DOOM MOM ©I1 UUW .
