A BEAUTIFUL CATALIN RADIO

 

The best known and most recognizable Catalin radio ever sold - a Fada "Bullet" Streamliner in Butterscotch with Red trim from the early 1940's. A truly iconic example of radio history. If you only own ONE Catalin radio, this is the model you want in your home. And yet it is STILL one of the most affordable colored plastic radios available!  This one will be in

Patrick Ursomano's bootH, Row K, Booths 417, 418 & 419. 

 
PAUL BECKMAN BRINGING SOME GREAT ITEMS AS ALWAYS
Paul Beckman and Jeanne Klein of Bad Girls Antiques join forces in Booth, #523-526 (on the wall on the North side of the ShowPlex). 
The 'Irish Mail' cart to the left is c1930s, 4' long and made by Hill
Standard Co. of Andertson, Indiana. It is complete, works and has the original decals. It is a child's ride-on toy and is unusual for the attached 'totebox' since there's usually a seat. The condition is excellent.
 
 
The Standby Tomato sign to the right, is 36" in diameter and is a heavy porcelain sign. Great color and condition.  
 
VINTAGE BB GUNS 

Gene Lancaster, a retired teacher, has been collecting antique and collectible BB guns for more than 20 years.  His collection includes BB guns from 1886 to 1942. 
 

Along the way, he became a dealer as well as a collector.  With his wife Virginia, he sells the best of the 1930's and 40's BB guns as well as vintage cap guns and Buck Rogers 1930's pistols.  His tables include two very rare Daisy Double Barrel BB guns.  Their booth, which is on the wall (Booth W-116) also includes many other collectibles. Gene and his wife have participated in every Puyallup Show.

 
Speaking of Bad Girls...
Jeanne Klein has never missed being a part of the Puyallup Show since the very first one. She always hunts down the best stuff and her booth looks completely different each time. Here's a few of her new discoveries that we thought you'd like to see in advance. Jeanne's booth is on the wall, Booths #523-526.
A beautiful took chest and a few other vintage decorative items.

MASON RIDGE ANTIQUES
  
David Templeton is a dealer from Seattle who specializes in art among other fine antiques. At this show he will be bringing these two paintings. The painting on the left is an original oil, a stufy of "Saint Cecilia at the Organ" by Carlo Dolci, 1671. This particular canvas was probably painted between 1820 and 1850. It was found at an estate sale on a plantation in Southern Georgia. It is unsigned and undated.
 
The painting on the right is an original oil ca: 1850-1885, Hudson River School, name on verso: "Andrews Pt.". Unsigned, undated. These pieces can be seen in David's booth, located in Row G, Booth 135.

It is life size and stands approximately 56" tall and sits on a stand. You'll find the Schillar's and Yoda in booth W-527,528,529.
 
BRING YOUR FAMILY TREASURES (or garage sale finds)
AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY'RE WORTH

The show hires accredited experts that would normally cost you $125 an hour to tell you what you have and what it's worth. At the show, for $5 per object, you'll get a verbal market evaluation. The word 'value' has many definitions, ranging from insurance (replacement) value to forced liquidation (you need to pay the rent and have to sell that item today). The value that our experts give you is what your item would bring if you sold it in a retail setting such as at a show, over the web or in a shop. Vintage items typically depend on supply and demand. Certain things go in and out of favor.
