There probably is a box of old I family pictures in your attic. Have I you tried to organize your family's I collection? People collect daguerreotypes, I ambrotypes (glass negatives), ferI rotypes (photos printed on iron) and I photographs of all kinds. Many pictures arc wanted for hisI torical reasons. Street views, war I views, miners, soldiers, women at I work, children with toys, interior I shop or home scenes and many other I family pictures could have value. I If the picture is well-labeled, it inI creases the photo’s potential value. I A picture of an early baseball team is I worth twice as much if the name of ■ the team, city and the date arc I known. I Take out your box of family picI turcs and write the name of each I relative on the back near the edge I using a soft pencil. Never write on I the front of the picture. I Add the approximate date the picI hire was taken. A group of pictures I will often be from one trip or one I birthday party, and one picture in the I group can provide the date. I Write the name of the city, event or ■ any other pertinent information. If I the person pictured had local or naItional importance, add that to the I caption. I Strange pictures of strange events I sell well at auctions. Civil War-era I pictures of men dressed as women, ■ damaged houses from a storm or I earthquake, fantasy scene with anIgcls or ghosts and many other I photographs that arc confusing today ■ arc offered for sale. I Ata recent sale, a photograph was ■ offered that pictured a boy bound ■ hand and foot. He is balancing a I glass of water on his head. His feet I arc surrounded by bells. The picture I was eventually identified as that of a ■ spirit medium. He was tied to show ■he did not ring the bells during a ■ seance. The picture brought $lB5. I Q. What’s the age and value of a I full-size, all-inctal carousel horse ■ with a base that advertises Coca- ■ Cola? The horse is painted white ■ with red, yellow and blue trapI P»ngs.

STAIN REMOVER — My stain cleaner is good old mechanic’s hand cleaner — not the pumice kind, but the lanolin kind. The reason I used it is that my husband was putting a new engine in a car and coated his clothes with grease. I almost ruined hi.s jeans trying to get the grease out with a pre-wash spray. I spotted the hand cleaner and liberally coated the jeans

with it, let the cleaner set awhile, I then washed them. Lo and behold, all the grease came out without leaving any residue. It works on just about any washable fabric. Donna T., Indianapolis, Ind.
