Can anyone help identify this item for one of our readers? "I work in a house museum, and we are in the process of cataloging all of the items in the house. The attached pictures show an item which was found in a kitchen drawer. Could you please ask your readers if anyone knows what this item was used for. We suspect it might have been used in canning but are not sure and would like to have a more definitive answer. Thanks, Gerald B"

One of our readers sent a picture of a sectioned plate with matching cup and what appeared to be a spot for a cigarette. Most commenters seemed to agree that this was actually to place the chop sticks. Back in the day, many lunch plate sets with cups also had a built in ash tray, so it's easy to see why Amanda might have thought that's what it was for. One reader suggested it was pink or red willow. Barbara S. wrote: "The dish with the cup and the section for a cig or chopsticks looks like the kind of luncheon plates used during the 1950/1960’s that we had in the USA. In America the ladies used them when they had bridge club or a lunch affair. I had a few sets that were glass hobnail and milk glass." To see the image and comments, visit: http://on.fb.me/1iTpM5F to view the image Amanda provided and see the comments.

Another reader from the Netherlands sent us pictures of a pin created from $1 gold coins. One reader suggested: "All 3 are American $1 gold coins but the value as coins is totally gone since they are severely defaced. This brooch will be near impossible to sell for anything greater than it's melt/bullion worth as determined by it's weight."

Ryan E. sent pictures of a lighter from with Pearl Harbor on it, and gave a patent number and pictures. Karen Molanare was kind enough to do some very thorough research: "I did some research.. Same Patent number but different War Logos and Condition I'm seeing $50-70. The History I found from the Logo "Pearl Harbor USS UTE ATF 76" .... The Ship was launched 6/24/42 as the "USS UTE AT 76" and on 12/13/42 was common..." Thank you Karen! This was very interesting to read! To see the pictures and comments, please visit:

7. A Vintage Recipe

Be sure to check out our vintage recipe archive online at: http://www.tias.com/newsletter/topics/A%20Vintage%20Recipe.html Over 1200 wonderful vintage recipes are listed.

Here's an easy cake recipe, perfect for a summer dessert. We've published this before, but it's worth repeating. It's even easier if you purchase a ready-made angel food cake!

Ingredients:
-One angle food cake, cooled (or ready-made)
-One small package of instant vanilla pudding mix and one small package
of instant chocolate pudding mix, prepared following "pie" instructions (using
less milk) and chilled.
-One container of Cool Whip, thawed

With a sharp, serrated knife, slice the cake into three layers. Spread the
chocolate pudding on the bottom slice, place the middle section of cake
on top of the chocolate frosted layer, and then spread the vanilla pudding
on the middle layer, then replace the top section. "Frost" the entire thing
with the cool whip, as you would regular frosting, and keep refrigerated
until served. Slice gently, using a sawing motion, with a serrated knife, or
a vintage cake "breaker" (like those found here: http://www.tias.com/simple_search/cake%20breaker/)

You can use any flavor of pudding combinations, and Cool Whip also comes
in a chocolate flavor!

*Note - the recipes are submitted by fellow Collectors Newsletter readers and are not checked for accuracy or tested by the TIAS staff. Keep in mind that many of these recipes were created at a time when there were no worries about such things as raw eggs, for example - so modern kitchen safety should prevail.
--------------------

8. As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods from their past. Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to help people who are looking for lost recipes from their past. If you submit a request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.

If you have a vintage recipe request send it to recipes@tias.com and we might just publish it here.
