Many of the objets d’ art are functional; they double as cooking utensils, molds, and serv - ing dishes.

ANTIQUE ROW Denver Where the Past Comes to Life FALL "RDF" SALE SEPT 11 - 16 The Antique Row area of South Broadway is rich in history and has retained its fascinating historic character while remaining a vital commercial, artistic, cultural and residential neighborhood. In 1888, the first cable car in Denver had its maiden voyage, trav - eling down South Broadway to Alameda. In 1913, The Ford Motor Company opened a factory at 900 South Broadway. The next year Ford was joined by The Gates Rubber Company. And what of South Broadway today? Although the factories of upper South Broadway, Bredan Creamery, Samsonite and Montgomery Wards are largely gone, the boarding houses, apothecaries, taverns, groceries, clothiers and other shops still exist, only in a different form. Most of the old buildings still stand, but now are filled with antiques, galleries, restaurants, florists, clothiers and other businesses operating in this historic neighborhood. Today it's a vibrant, living neighborhood that has evolved over 100 years. The types of businesses have changed, but the buildings largely remain intact, stately reminders of a gentler day.

By Anne Gilbert Antique Detective Q & A

Q. I remember my grandmother keeping jewelry in this box when I was a child. It has a raised leaf design sur- round a circular portrait of a woman. 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 countries, 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 ? H.C. - Pompano Beach, FL A. You have a collector’s eye and have discovered a mid-19th century Japanese Imari charger.
