In response to a question from a few weeks ago which asked about an item   
   invoking powerful memories, we received another response:   
      
   "In reading Linda M's story about the scent of lavender bringing back strong   
   memories of her Grandmother Moore, I have a similar story.  My father was a   
   simple man and wasn't much on sentimental gestures.  But he always, without   
   fail on the Saturday before Easter, would come in with a smile on his face and   
   present my mother with a two gardenia corsage and my sisters and me with a one   
   gardenia corsage to wear to church Sunday morning.  I never, ever smell   
   gardenias without thinking fondly of my dad.  Diane L."

   A request for identification:   
   "This reel was found in rafters in 1964, I have been unable to find its age.    
   It is in excellent condition, and I thought it was brass as magnets do not   
   stick.  Any info would be great.  Thank you."   
      
   You can see four different photos of this fishing reel here: htt

   Another request for identification: "Hi, I have an old wood chair that's been   
   in our family a long time - at least since the early 20th Century.  I've   
   looked online but can't identify it.  Here are some photos.  I might want to   
   sell it but am trying to identify its style first.  Thank you, Jon" You can   
   see six photos of Jon's chair here: http://on.fb.me/1aF0nUE

   "Hi Phil, Here is another radio from my collection, and VERY rare and VERY   
   early Zenith from 1923.  This is one of the very first Zenith   
   radios ever made - the name Zenith being established by the Chicago Radio   
   Laboratory.  It is also one of the earliest usages of the famous Zenith Logo.    
   This is (as all early radios are) a battery set requiring 3 batteries to power   
   the 4 vacuum tubes it used.  The round screen on the front panel was a   
   "window" so the operator could see if the tube filaments were lighted!"
