by Judith Katz-Schwartz
(Martingale & Co., softcover)

So you bought an old tin windup toy at a flea market, but the new addition to your collection is rusty. What to do? Enter "collecting diva" and professional appraiser Judith Katz-Schwartz with a bottle of ketchup in hand.

Not only does ketchup remove rust from tin, but you can use sour milk to clean old silver, peanut butter to get glue off furniture, shaving cream for a gleaming mirror. These are just a few of the tips in this handy little book for spiffing up all manner of collectibles, from textiles, to glass, from wood to paper; a fascinating read.
