   One of our readers posted this on Facebook:   
      
   "I wondered if you could value the 3D cardboard model of the Queen's   
   Coronation below?  It was found by my boyfriend when he was renovating a house   
   and also had some 1957 newspaper clippings regarding the Coronation with it,   
   so believe it was made at that time.  He has tried to look for something   
   similar on the internet without any luck so we thought the right collector may   
   find it valuable.  It is missing 1 small piece which is the back, left hand   
   side of the railings but other than that it is in excellent condition.  Look   
   forward to your responses.  Jane E., Bolton, UK"

   Harry J is still looking for a Homer Laughlin wash basin to match other pieces   
   he has.  Can you help?   
      
   I have been trying to locate a Homer Laughlin Wash Basin, Pattern 2366,   
   Victoria/Violets Pattern.  It has purple violets with gold flowers and rim.    
   It is supposed to be Dutch Shape in toilet ware. I have the rest of the set   
   from my Grandmother, and it is still almost as good new.  I would really like   
   to find the Wash Basin to complete the set.  I have almost exhausted my   
   searching ability. Someone has to have one somewhere.  I know it is old; close   
   to 1890 as far as my research has got me.  Thanks, Harry J
