Collector's corner: Women and the history of cycling

Article Abstract:

The modification that took place in the design of bicycles to facilitate women to ride and the appropriate dress approved for them by The Cyclist Touring Club in 1883 is discussed. However, bicycle design evolved not so much for the ease of women riders as much to facilitate riding for people in general.

Collector's corner: American stoneware

Article Abstract:

Long before mega malls, Sam's Club, and Tupperware, stoneware jars were the containers of choice for an up-and-coming country. After the civil war, stoneware jugs, pickling crocks, butter churns and spittoons were in big demand. Most stoneware collectors look for great decorations in old stoneware.
