BOOK REVIEW: 'Paper Trails' - Washington Times


ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Twenty-seven years ago, the U.S. Postal Service opened a new post office building in Mesquite, Nevada, a city of just under 21,000 some 90 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Apart from a plaque at the entrance denoting its construction in 1994, the facility isn’t much different from thousands of others in the United States today.
This wasn’t always the case, as historian Cameron Blevins points out in “Paper Trails: The US Post and the Making of the American West.” From the mid-1800s to well past the turn of the century, postal operations were highly political, semi-privatized, and provided what the author calls a “gossamer network” of outlets uniting a diverse and sometimes unstable frontier. ....

Sikorski's Attic: Tiffany art glass vase more than 100 years old


Q: I have a Tiffany vase that I inherited from my grandmother many years ago. I believe she purchased this in the early 1900s to 1950. I have looked online to find one like it but cannot find this particular vase. Luckily, it was never used as an actual vase and is in great condition. Here are the details on what is etched in cursive on the bottom: 1539 - 6602 L.C. Tiffany - Inc. Favrile. 
I am looking for anything you can share, including an estimated value. Pictures are attached. Thanks so much!  T.O., internet

He also was a very talented oil on canvas painter.   ....
