Newspaper Page TextSuried Treasure by fFoot Chests for Trinkets Sold for Good Profit Misi net'i camphor wood chest might just as well have been a battered footlocker for all the consideration she gave it. "That old thing," she said. "I got that from a native cabin on Kona. A Chinese-Hawaiian had it. It was under his porch and he sold it to me for $10. The chest was just under three feet long, 17 inches high and 16 inches wide. The boards were a good three-quarters of an inch thick, . and the uprights at the corners were a full inch and a half on either side. In addition to being held to gether by what appeared to be a tongue and groove technique, all four corners were bound along their entire length by good stout brass. Furthermore, brass strapping ran completely around the chest in such a way that BUTTON MOLD UNSIGNED. "What do you think of this, Uncle Pinkney, said my niece Judith offering me , a strange looking object. At first glance, I thought it was some kind of an old com pass. ThCre were two arms ex tending from a central hinge, each tapering, to a rather rough point. They were open at nearly a 90-degree angle, but since a third arm extended midway be tween the other two, but behind them, it was clearly not a com pass. Also, the third arm had four circular depressions in it, of two sizes. "It's a button mold," said my niece excitedly. "You'd never guess what it is otherwise. It was used for molding pewter but tons. ' . WAITS TO GET BETTER PRICE FOR GOLD DOLLAR "Thi is ont of the few gold dollars put out by the Confeder acy. How much will you pay for it?" The customer held out a small, velvet-lined, jewel box in which lay a tiny coin. Fred picked it up and began to examine it care fully, while I wondered how long it would be before he came out with dime cutting remark to the effect that the coin of top value put out by the Confeder ates was a half dollar. The coin was a beauty, an ex ample of the United States gold dollar that was coined over a period of years starting in 1856. On the Averse side was the head of an Indian Princess, left, sur rounded by the legend United States of America. -"Where do you get the Confed erate business," I asked, turning the coin over. 1 "See the little 'D on the re verse," said Fred.

Or See at 1615 Crater Lake Ave. i when the strapping was pad locked, it would be virtually im possible for the chest to break open. The brass was not oriental. Most likely it was the product of some New England foundry and had been applied to the chest by a seaman on a long voy age across the Pacific as the ship carried a consignment of coolie laborers to Hawaii. At any rate, the brass had been decorated by a nail punch in designs that were distinctly nautical and typical of New England. "Can't you see that this is something of an antique," I asked Miss Janet. "It certainly smells like it," she sniffed. "Well, I'll see what I can get for it," she added. A few days later she sold it for $150.00, a price that was much too low, I felt. . BUT PROVES VALUABLE I noticed that there were reg ularly spaced indentations in the arms, so spaced as to meet over the depressions in the third. "They poured the metal down through those cuts, I guess, and then it could flow evenly from mold to mold," she said, opening the piece and pointing to a chan nel that linked the four depres sions. "Unfortunately it isn't signed. Lots of the button molds were signed by their makers, except those made of wood, of course. And those that have a signature are worth plenty. But just the same, I've already been offered $50.00 for it, and I expect to get much more." . She finally got $65.00 for it, a nice return on her investment of $1.00. . quite clear beneath the wreath of cotton and wheat that en closed the date 1861. "Well," he continued. "Every gold 'dollar struck off in 1861 was done by the mint at Dahl onega, Ga., and all of them were struck after the mint had been seized by the Governor of Geor gia on April 8. ; "Unfortunately, the mint rec ord of operations under the Con federacy has been either lost or destroyed, so we don't know just how many of these coins were made." "How much will you offer?" the customer said again. "Two hundred and fifty dol lars," Fred replied. "Nothing doing," said the owner, putting the tiny piece back in its box "I know it cata logues high as $400, and I expect to get a lot nearer that than $250.00. - (Released by McClure News paper Syndicate, Inc.) 27-BUSINESS DIRECTORY TV st Radio Repair KEEP THAT T.V.

October 16. 1953 On Hie Side (Distributed by King Note it currently reported that "women' are going brunette." Our ever alert Horses and Wom en Department reported that over six months ago. Right now the situation is that only one woman in ten is asking for a red-haired coloring job. Only three in ten prefer to be blondes. All the rest want to be bri nettes. That is not because gen tlemen are now preferring bru nettes. It if because a brunette hair coloring looks more natural than the others. Most' red, silver blonde, platinum blonde, straw blonde hair coloring jobs look so phony they don't even de ceive men. Few things cheapen a woman s appearance more than a phony looking hair dye ing job. Asking Queries from clients. Q. My dear fellow, don't you know that "Take Back the Universe and Give Me Yesterday" is a song, not a line in a play? A. It was a song title, but also a line in the play, "The Silver King." ... . Q. What's the easiest job you ever had? The hardest? A. Easiest was as a baseball writer. A soft touch. But it does get mo notonous. Hardest? I worked on a farm in New England for three weeks. That was really rugged. . , . Q. Was Pearl White, the serial queen, star of "The Perils of Pauline," born in Poland? A. I have heard that claimed but my understanding is that Pearl -was born in Glen Ridge, Mo. A 'Bill Daly' No doubt you have heard the turf expression "off on a Bill Daly." Are you clear as to what it means? Well, sir, if you saw the Swaps-Nashua match on tel evision you saw a perfect ex ample of it. Eddie Arcaro really got Nashua off on a Bill Daly. That means to get a horse off in front and to try to stay in front throughout the race. "Father Bill" Daly, picturesque owner and trainer of the yesteryear, the inspiration . of the term, always gave the following instructions to his jockey: "Lad, get this here horse off in front, and try to stay there. If ye die, die in front." Long Titles That long film title, "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing," may have started a trend. Now there is a stage play titled "Will Sue cess Spoil Rock Hunter?"

John Drew starred in that. Also, one called "A Butterfly on the Wheel," starring Madge Titherage. Many novels have had long and pe culiar titles. For example, "The Rivet in Grandfather's , Neck," by James Cabell. Then there was the best seller titled "They Shoot Horses Don't They?" Speaking of titles I note Sophia "The Sizzler" Loren is to appear in a film titled "Too Bad She's Bad." That's quite an eye catch er. However, my favorite title of all titles of films, plays or novels is that of the mystery novel titled "The Corpse in the Derby Hat." 4-H Club News Talent Horizon Club The Talent Horizon 4-H club held a meeting on Oct. 4 at Inez Tyckson's house.
