WHAT IT IS:
NATIONAL CASH
REGISTER
The Dayton, Ohio-based
National Cash Register
company reliably stamped
every one of its machines
with a serial number, so
this one can be dated precisely to 1904. With a
scroll-patterned brass body
and marble change shelf,
this style is particularly coveted by collectors. Its missing the marquee (a fancy
metal sign mounted across
the top, often bearing the
words Amount Purchased
or the store name), but
otherwise looks to be in perfect condition, says Marsha
Dixey of Heritage Auctions.
WHAT ITS WORTH:
$900
My stepfather souped

I love the design of this sterling
silver piece. Does it have a story?
D.K., FOSTER, RI
WHAT IT IS:
LOVING CUP
This piece is a loving cup meant for sharing celebratory drinks at a wedding or banquet. The backstamp
indicates it was made by Philadelphia silversmith
Peter L. Krider for renowned retailer Shreve, Crump &
Low. Dated 1899, it sports impressive horn handles
that channel an end-of-the-century interest in hunting,
says appraiser Helaine Fendelman.
WHAT ITS WORTH:
$700
GUESS THE WORTH
This month marks the 83rd anniversary of Amelia Earharts groundbreaking transatlantic ight. A pair of her goggles sold at auction for:

J.R., WACO, TX

WHAT IT IS:
STEEL-AND-COPPER BATHTUB
In the late 1800s, plumbing improvements prompted
the use of new materials like steel (painted red and
used on the outside of this one) and copper (used on
the lining). Because this antique tub is water tight,
it garners an estimate as handsome as its oak trim,
explains Marsha Bemko of Antiques Roadshow,
who consulted with appraiser John Nye.

I recently
adopted a cat
whose previous
owners allowed her to
graze throughout the
day. Any tips on transitioning to timed meals?
Is that preferred?
-L.C., JONESVILLE, VT
Allowing animals to
graze is actually the
ideal way for them to
eat, as it aids in maintaining a steady blood sugar level
and active metabolism. Some
cats, however, will consume all
you put in front of them in one sitting. For these pets, twice daily
feedings are more appropriate. To
make the switch, begin offering a
small amount (about 1/3 cup for
an adult cat) of food each morning. After 20 minutes, remove
the food, even if it has not been
eaten. Repeat this process in the
evening. If your cat skipped her
morning meal, chances are shell
be hungry and more willing to eat.
Once she realizes food is not
always available, shell learn to
take advantage of her new routine.
I worry my Labs,
Pepper and
Grits, are bored

when Im at work. What
can I do to ensure they
are content during the
day? Is the TV an
option? M.T., DACULA, GA

Old letters are a collecting trifecta: They

antique penmanship into one pretty package. Most go for $5 to $10, but pieces to and
from now-defunct mining towns and

been giving them

(Their brightest

THE KITCHEN
THE FIND A wood
and metal military
desk-turned-prep
island ($650) that Coley
bought from one of
her market vendors
HOW IT MAKES THE ROOM
The weathered wood
top and rusty green base
give Coleys all-white,
freshly renovated
kitchen more personality. New spaces need
a little old soul, says
Coley. I love to think
about its previous life,
where its been, and
what it meant to someone. Barnwood shelves
pick up the warmth of
the islands counter,
while brass pendants
(from an old ice-cream
parlor) echo the towel
bars shine.

THE FIND A hand-medown (free!) buffet that
Coley updated with
a coat of dark gray

HOW IT MAKES THE ROOM
The pieces original
cherry finish felt a little
formal for Coleys taste.
With the matte chalk
paint (Its like instant
age and character!), the
item took on a more
casual look that set the
tone for equally laidback vintage pieces,
from the leather luggage
(that stores extra blankets) to the coffee table
made from an antique
mission door. A midcentury turquoise sofa adds
a splash of happy color.

found on Craigslist.

HOW IT MAKES THE ROOM
With its classic design

the tub inspired the

floor tile, laid in a herringbone pattern, adds
an unexpected edge.
A chippy green chair,
an antique Moroccan

FACTORIES
ARE ALSO
COOL.
My batteries get
charged by
looking at old
things in new
ways. Take these
lockers from a

a worker clocking
in: The last thing
he wanted to see
was this locker.
Now Im happy to

OLD GOES A

Most of the

so I brought in a

displayed Jodis hats
on antique millinery
stands to incorporate found objects.
Just one layer of
vintage accessories
is all it takes to give
a new room
old soul.
LISTEN TO FATE.
Before Charlie was born, I always had a thing for
vintage kids cowboy boots. I once found a pair,
but I sold them and immediately regretted doing
so. When Jodi was pregnant, I found a second pair.
It felt like fate, so I started collecting them.

TURN TRASH
INTO TREASURE.
These 1920s oilcans obviously arent
living in a space they were made for.
You wouldve found them on the oor
of a service station garage. Put them
on a living room shelf with other auto
memorabilia, though, and suddenly
they take on prized-possession status.
LOOK FOR
MULTIPLES.
They can be really
cool when done right. I
like to display objects
with similar textures,
time periods, and genres
for visual continuity. In
my office, each shelf has
a theme: bikes, motorcycles, aviation, and cars.
Its easy to go overboard,
though, so I like to stick
to just one spot.

SPLURGE IN
SMALL DOSES
Christis secret to getting a
high-end look for less? Paying up
for small quantities of expensive
fabrics, like the block-printed
pillows in the dining room and on
the hallway bench (a former
church pew, below). To offset
that cost, she chose more
affordable patterns, such as the
buffalo check curtains in the
dining room, for projects that
required more yardage.

Christi tops off each room

Christi utilized the same

A farmhouse sconce outside
plus a thrift-store armchair

take it from hardworking to

There are three. First, as with hGH injections, SeroVital is not
a magic bullet, but one part of a healthy lifestyle choice
including a sensible diet and exercise regimen.
Second, for proper absorption, you have to take SeroVital on
BOFNQUZTUPNBDI5IBUNFBOTZPVFJUIFSIBWFUPUBLFJUmSTU
thing in the morning and then not eat anything for two hours,
or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal...
before you go to bed.
And last but not least, while SeroVital is far less expensive
than prescription hGH injections, its still not cheap...
SeroVital will cost you about $100 a month.
