4. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help   
      
   We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your   
   story to newsletter@tias.com and we'll publish it in an upcoming newsletter.    
   Please share your story about what you collect and what got you started   
   collecting.  We *love* to hear your stories!  If you have a story you'd like   
   to share, tell us about it and if you have any photos, we'd love to see them!    
   Send us an email to newsletter@tias.com so we can share your story with the   
   rest of our readers.   
      
   Remember that you can check out our Facebook page for some interesting   
   updates.  Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/TIASAntiques   
   If you have photos of items you would like to share you can post them there as   
   well.  You don't need a Facebook account to visit our page. If you do have a   
   facebook account please "Like" us!   
      
   Also, everyday, we post a "This Date In History" story on our Facebook page,   
   along with an item for sale on http://www.tias.com that relates to the event.    
   We're also highlighting one item each day that we find particularly   
   interesting - something that's very unusual!  Check it out!   
      
   Thanks to those of you who have responded in the past! We really enjoy, and   
   appreciate, the feedback!   
      
   It's always fun to see what other people own and treasure! Although we can't   
   put the pictures in this newsletter, please visit our Facebook page to view   
   the images and learn about those items.  Please let us know if you'd like us   
   to highlight one of your favorite collectibles!   
      
   A reader from Ohio sent in this:   
      
   "Would anyone know anything about this bowl?  It has a "luster" finish, sort   
   of "pearly" all over, with a spattered looking gold edge.  There is just one   
   cutout along the edge.  There are no marks on the back.  It was my   
   grandmother's, who was born in the 1890s, but I don't know anything more about   
   this.  It's about 8 inches across and about 2.25 inches tall at the peaks of   
   the edge.  Any idea as to the age or what company may have made this?"
