7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help/Blast from the past

Please share your story about collecting with us, and we will publish it here.

Send your story to newsletter@tias.com

A reader sent in images of an unusual shaped container that may well be a teapot. She wonders if anyone has any information about it. You can view it here:

https://www.facebook.com/TIASAntiques/posts/10155446734158656

Here's a reprint from the Collectors Newsletter published November 2002:

My sister's Mother-in-law, who is 76 years young, told me a story about being an 11 or 12 year old girl and receiving a Shirley Temple doll as a gift. She was mortified since she thought she was far to old to play with dolls. Her father was remodeling their upstairs bedroom and the floorboards were exposed in some areas so she hide it in the floor of the house she grew up in. The house stayed in the family for over 50 more years and was only recently sold outside the family. As far as anyone knows the Shirley Temple doll, still in the box, is still hidden within the framework of the house. Karen C.

Here's a recipe from a 1952 Jell-O dessert http://www.tias.com/vintage-ad-1952-jell-o-gelatin-dessert-
332406.html

Fiesta Peach Mold

1 package Strawberry Jell-O
1 cup hot water
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated rind [recipe doesn't say what kind - lemon?] 1 cup peach juice and water
1 cup canned sliced cling peaches

Juicy cling peaches all aglow in shining Strawberry Jell-O! Oh, lady, is this a

dish to set before *your* king!

Jell-O's true fruit flavors mingle merrily with most any fruit...taste wonderful all by themselves!

Dissolve Jell-O in hot water. Then add lemon juice, rind, and peach juice and water. Chill until slightly thickened. Fold in peaches. Turn into 1 1/2-pint

mold. Chill until firm. Unmold. Garnish with whipped cream, and additional sliced peaches. Server 4 or 5.
