As horrific as Taxi Driver." it '7 'I'll vl cal frontier garb of homespun a calico frock, and a gingham sun bonnet was found in a covered wagon. It is pictured in the book "Prairie Recipes and Kitchen Antiques" by Wilma Kurtis and me (Wallace-Homestead, $6 95 hardcover). IN THE PAST, boys often were given hand-carved wooden horses.

Some were rocking or hobby horses that still are popular today. One unique example, measuring 26 by 39 inches, circa 18G0, has a yellow, painted body on dark-green rockers. Its charm lies in its funny little tail that juts out and its queer little head that seems peanut-sized in proportion to its body. It sold at a 1975 "Americana" Sotheby Parke Bernet auction and had an estimated value of $400 to $500. Aside from horses that rocked, there were other hand-carved wooden horses mounted on platforms with metal wheels.

Such horses were equivalent to the toy cars and planes that we give kids today. Such horses were gaily painted and wore tiny leather harnesses and wool blankets (made from scraps) on their backs, and had frizzy, stiff little tails made from bits of coarse, frayed string. Today, these little homemade horses are BECAUSE OF their charm and odd characteristics. Early American folk toys are sought eagerly by collectors.1 Such toys were made by hand, not machine, which makes them distinctive. Making folk toys was a labor of love.

During the last three centuries, men often would while away long winter hours making toys for household youngsters, who numbered many in those days. The toys were created from materials at hand wood, cornhusks, rope, paper, tin, rags, sticks, stones, nuts, straw, pine cones, fruit pits, and many other things. Milkweed pods were fashioned into tiny cradles; fruit pits, painted black on one side and white on the other, served as dice; and honeysuckle vines were woven and shaped into pretty little baskets. Especially charming are the homemade toys whittled from wood. At one time, most little girls were given stiff-jointed wooden dolls whittled by their fathers or older brothers.

Such dolls sometimes were fashioned with papier-mache heads, and painted-on faces and hair. The women of the house fashioned doll clothes from gingham, calico, linen, and homespun scraps that were saved for "patchin." One such doll dressed in typi by 39 inches, with A hand-carved and painted rocking horse (circa 1860), an estimated value of between $400 and $500. upright hoop attached to the end. Such toys still are made by mountain and prairie folks. Folk toys needn't be terribly old to be collectible.

Many fine examples dating from the 20th Century are coveted by collectors, too. The values of such pieces often lie in their charm, rather then their age. Anita Gold cherished by collectors, and those embellished with smoke, simulated, painted wood-grain designs, or corncob decorations are considered folk-art pieces, as well as toys ONE NOTCHED type of stock toy, called "gee-haw-whimmy-diddle," when rubbed with another stick caused a propeller to turn at one end.

Chicago: ORIENTAL ALEX ATLANTIC ENGLEWQOD MET HIGHLAND PARK CINEMA LAKEHURST LUNA SUBURBAN: Highland Park Waukegan of Beaver County, garnered raves for its attractive Art Glass specialties of the late 1800s. At present, collectors clamor for surviving specimens, and also for its 20th Century sculptured wares, generally decorated with naturalistic motifs. Such pieces appeal to Art Deco devotees.

Value guide: vase, sculptured pink peonies, white ground, 11 inches tall, $95. Although I'd never part with It, I'm wondering about the value of an Elvis Presley autographed photograph. Cindy, Louisville, Ky. A Elvis fever has gripped the populace and authentic autographs have, experienced an unprecedented 40 to 50 per cent increase in value since the death of "The King." A signature alone can command a price of $15 to $20. Signed photos are clicking with Presley fans at values in the $50 to $60 bracket.

Dan Dlmperio I'm always on the prowl for royal Bayreuth tomato items. Laura, New Orleans. A Between 1897, when the factory reopened following a devastating fire, and World War the Royal Beyreuth firm shipped bushels of ceramic tomato novelties to the United States. The firm, founded in 1794 as the Konuglich Priv. Porzellanfabrik Tettau, won international recognition for its ceramic creations.

It incorporated the 1794 founding date into its crestlike trademark. Although its tomato pieces were once plentiful, they have ripened into choice collectibles. Tomato value guide: cookie jar, $90; creamer, 4 inches tall, $42; mayonnaise set, leaf underplate, $45; teapot, $65; water pitcher, $130. We recently acquired a sculptured vase decorated with florals from the Phoenix firm Ed and Joan, Toledo. A The prestigious Phoenix Glass Co.
