      <image:caption>Gustaf Tenggren came to America from Sweden in 1920. Many other artists illustrated Golden books including Gertrude Elliot, Corinne Malvern, Richard Scarry, and Eloise Wilkin. When I love the art of a particular artist, a special collection begins. I especially love Corinne Malvern and Eloise Wilkin and have large, nearly complete collections of their books. Corinne Malvern also illustrated some of the school readers of my childhood so I have collected them also.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Many great artists illustrated the Golden books and many of them were emigres from Europe especially during the war years. These books were all illustrated by the artist Tibor Gergely who came from Hungary to America in 1939. He won the Caldecott Award in 1955.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A view from the top … the original books had 42 pages … 28 pages in color and 14 pages black and white. The original price was 25 cents. At some time during the war paper became in short supply and the books were reduced to 28 or 24 pages.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Originally the books were 25 cents but did not have a price printed on the front; the book’s number was there. Later prices were printed on the top right corner. The price remained 25 cents from 1942 until 1962. The price changed in 1962 to 29 cents. In 1968 the price changed to 39 cents and in 1974 the price changed to 49 cents. The 25 cent price represents the truly collectible books and are the books of the 1940s and 1950s that I limited my collection to. However, the 39 and 49 cent books were the books I bought for my three daughters.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Good Morning Father and Mother antique cups and saucers ... I bought this pair of antique cups and saucers at a Louisville, Kentucky antique mall more than twenty years ago.  At that time my mother and I drove to Louisville to visit my mother's sister who was a long time antique lover.  My aunt schooled Mama and me in the fine art of collecting and these were the beginning of the collection.  I have added many cups and saucers since then but these are still among my favorites ...both the cups and the memories.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>These are the two Effanbee Honey dolls that I bought.  The dark haired doll best matches my memories of the missing doll.  She is wearing the original dress that helped me identify her.  The blond doll is wearing a dress and panties made by my mother and a purchased sweater probably from the dime store.  I had to purchase new shoes and socks for both dolls.  Surprisingly you can buy vintage shoes and socks on line.  Equally surprising, the shoes and socks cost more than the doll.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>1950s pins ... The large pin is a Monet I bought in about 1958 or 1959.  In the 1950s shirt collars were often buttoned to the top and pinned with a narrow collar pin.  I wore  the two gold and pearl collar pins often.  The dragon and the flower pins are BSK, a popular brand.  The key is an Accessocraft brand, also popular in the 50's.  Circle pins were very, very popular and every girl had one.</image:caption>

The humming bird and the two purple jeweled pins are the 1928 brand.  The long gold feather is Monet.  The small crown with green stones is a VAN S Authentics from the 1960s.  The large gold curved feather is Coro.  The other pins are unsigned.  I always loved the small gold pearl and tassel pin; it was one of my mother's favorites and dates from the 1950s or possibly earlier.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Beautiful antique pins that belonged to my grandmother... 1881-1957.  Large Black wire and rhinestone pin is not signed.  The jeweled brooch and matching earrings are Coro ... probably the 1940s.  The small silver marcasite collar pin has unfortunately lost most of it's stones which are actually small pieces of pyrite set in silver.  The pearl collar pin is still lovely and desirable.  Below is a Bakelite pin.  The little gold watch belonged to my aunt who died in 1937 ... her name is engraved on the back.  The watch pin is a Carl Art pin that dates from the 1930's.  The tiny orange pin is no more than an inch in diameter, probably Bakelite.  I chanced to find the matching earrings at an antique mall!</image:caption>

I bought the large pink jeweled pin in the mid 1960s to wear on a pink satin formal dress that I made to wear to a special banquet with my future husband.  I wore the beautiful Weiss green flower pin and the unsigned earrings with a green silk dress.  The little Weiss strawberry is from the early 1960s and has always been a favorite of mine that I still wear.</image:caption>
