Hello Penny,
I'm jelous...You getting to go to the Antique Road Show. I watch it whenever I
can. Let me know how it goes. It sounds interesting.
Maybe someday when it is close by in California I can attend. How does one get
tickets and what is the cost if any other than plane ticket.

> I am bringing my collection of 23 original fashion plates of French plays
> from the late 1890s-1903. Some are Sarah Bernhardt plays. The
> illustrations show the costume changes per character with five to six
> costumes per fashion plate. These once belonged to the illustrator or

> a problem scanning them because they are so large. I now own a scanner with
> a large enough bed to scan the plates. Hopefully, I will getting them

> I am also bringing some hand-tinted stereoviews from the first stereoview
> London publisher. The photos are of weddings. A photo historian told me
> that these are the earliest known hand-tinted stereoviews that they have
> seen by this photographer. I am excited to see if this is true.
>
> We are bringing an antique inlaid game table that I gave my husband for his
> birthday. It has a chess table and a roulette wheel. It is beautiful! We
> really don't care about the value, we just want to know how old it is.
>
> I am trying to decide what our 4th item will be. Maybe you all can help me
> decide. I need to know the following items value for insurance purposes.
> So let me know what you think that I should bring:
> 1. Hand-beaded traditional Philippians dress (we discussed this dress on
> h-costume)
> 2. An 1814 book titled Picturesque Representations of The Dress and Manners
> of the English. It is a rare book and has full page hand-tinted
> illustrations of the occupations with a corresponding page with the
> occupation description. You can see thumbnails of this book at:
> http://www.costumegallery.com/1814/British_Occupations/Laborers/ This is
> just the laborers section online. I own the entire book and haven't put all
> of them online yet.
> 3. My Princess Diana auction dress books and photos. The books are
> autographed by fashion designer David Emanuel (Di's wedding dress) and some
> of the current dress owners. They autographed the books when I worked on
> the dresses For newbies to h-costume, I have worked with David and seven of
> the charity dresses. I don't know if these would really be classified as an
> antique.
> 4. Delineator magazine collection spanning from 1880-1930.
> 5. A 1900s template ad book that was used by the fashion advertising
> industry for fashion ads in magazines and newspapers. The ads in fashion
> magazines were originally templates and the publisher would insert the
> business info into the templates for publication.
>
> Let me know what you think my 4th item should be. We are leaving for DC
> Friday night.
