10 JULY 2017 —Mountain States Collector www.mountainstatescollector.com nIa national Insulator Show 2017 Olde Towne More Shows July 20 - 23 in Colorado Springs, CO Hotel Elegante Conference & Littleton In July Event Center, 2886 S. Circle Dr. It is with great pleasure and honor that we welcome you to Colorado Springs and the great Rocky Mountain Front Range for what is no doubt going to be a very memorable event and expe - rience. Though Colorado has hosted several National and Re - gional insulator shows over the years, it has been 45 long years since Colorado Springs hosted the 2nd NIA National show. Back in 1971 the hobby was still quite young, and most non collector folks (and some collectors) would tell you they were doubtful that a bunch of folks collecting insulators could gather a crowd large enough to warrant renting the city auditorium. Well, looks like they were proved wrong, and longtime collectors who were there still tell a story of wall to wall tables, and of collectors packed in like sardines with standing room only, and everything from glass and porcelain insulators, go-withs and just about any - thing imaginable for sale, trade and purchase.. Who could have imagined back then that our hobby would continue to thrive for almost 5 decades now, and grow into the amazing group of folks we proudly call family. dan Gauron, Show host; david Baron, Show Co-host; Michael Green, Show Co-host We hope that this National will provide you the same mag - ical feeling that so many felt 45 years ago, and whether you’ve come in search of treasures or to sell them, we hope that you’ll take away the greatest treasure offered this weekend… the chance to share with others, and enjoy the camaraderie of old and new made friendships. This message would fall short if I didn’t also mention that Colorado is an INCREDIBLE place. Please come a few days early and stay a few days after the show to enjoy our crisp clean Rocky Mountain air, consume some great western cui - sine, and take a little time to see and enjoy a few of the many fun things Colorado has to offer. Thanks again to all of the dealers, exhibitors, attendees and volunteers for your help, support and donations. Without you, it’s just an empty hall. Thank you and good collecting!

If Evel Knievel could be considered a legend of the 1970s, then the toys created in his name clearly were legendary.

Some experts go as far as to say that the motorcycle maniac almost single-handedly man - aged to jump-start the stalled toy industry of that time.

On the bottom is a an oval shaped design with a B & W in the center. It is some kind of metal, possibly brass or copper. What can you tell me about it? K.C. -Shawnee, KS A. From your photo you appear to have a Victorian, cast metal glove box with a celluloid cameo. They were popular from the 1890s to around 1910. Similar examples can sell in shops for several hundred dollars. Q. My mother-in law gave me a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs rug she got in the 1930s. It was made in Italy. Any idea of value ? H.P.- A. Prices vary, but it could sell for over $200. Q. What can you tell me about the Czechoslovakian tea set with Spanish marks? On the bottom it says "Fabri- cada en Alp Choslovagia." M. A. Czechoslovakian tea sets and other pieces made of porcelain and semi-porcelain were exported to many coun- tries, including Spain, which explains the markings on your tea set. Q. I bought this colorful Oriental plate in a Florida thrift shop. It is 18 inches in diameter and has no marks. I paid $25. How old is it ? Where was it made ? Did I pay too much ?
