resident has been an antiques dealer since 1971.
Sudbury, Massachusetts, dealer Gary Bardsley offered a
$275 child’s washtub (above) and a child’s period formal

Red Horse Antiques, Bridgewater, Vermont, sold a lot, according
to the dealer when we stopped by at the end of the show. The

Child’s milk mugs have always intrigued me—how many were actually used?

Turi of Roseland, New Jersey.
Bennington has been the specialty of Charles and
Barbara Adams of South Yarmouth, Massachusetts,

are rare and quite popular. Prices on the pieces shown
ranged from $200 to $2000 each.
