Cleveland, Ohio - October 06, 2007 - Kovels.com (http://www.kovels.com), the Web's largest free price guide for antiques and collectibles, today released its list of the top 20 searches for September. The Kovels' top 20 list is based on the results of hundreds of thousands of searches that took place on its website during the month of September 2007.
People use price guides for a number of reasons, usually to determine the value of an item that they own. If an item isn't listed on the top 20 list, it doesn't mean it is unpopular or that there isn't a demand for it. It only means that in September there was less interest in finding prices for that item.
1. Jewelry (No movement); 2. Stoves (Up from #4); 3. World War II (Up from #6); 4. Furniture (Up from #5); 5. Coca-Cola (Down from #3); 6. Occupied Japan (Up from #7); 7. Silverplate (Up from #8); 8. Lighters (Up from #10); 9. Cookie Jars (No movement); 10. Capo-Di-Monte (Not listed last month); 11. Planters Peanuts (Not listed last month); 12. Lladro (Up from #15); 13. Pottery (Up from #20); 14. Knife (Up from #17); 15. Painting (Down from #11); 16. Phonograph (Not listed last month); 17. Royal Bayreuth (Not listed last month); 18. Royal Dux (Not listed last month); 19. Clocks (Down from #16); 20. Dolls (Down from #14).
There are five new categories on the September list that were not included in the August list. Also note the surge in World War II searches. This is probably due to Ken Burns' new epic documentary "The War" which has been appearing on PBS stations across the U.S. in recent weeks.
The Kovels' "Top 20" list of antiques and collectibles has been published monthly since 2002 and is offered by Kovels.com as a service for collectors. Accredited media interested in discussing the content of this release or any topics related to antiques and collectibles are encouraged to contact the Kovels to schedule an interview.

Help selling antique book?
I have a book Titled
MUSICAL MONITOR,
or
New-York collection of Church Music
an Introduction to the Science of Music
By Ephraim Reed
dated 1824
On the inside cover, and on the couple blank pages in the beginning, there is a lot of writing done in fountain pen, as well as a number of signatures,, plus some drawings, same with the inside back cover.
How would I go about pricing and selling this item?
Thanks
Suggest first that you 'save' your book by keeping it away from handling, air, and dust. These all harm what could otherwise be a very collectible book.
Some use Mylar, air-tight bags.
Some store them in air-tight containers in a darkened room.
There are many ways to protect it.
Collectors favor books without torn pages or covers and with no yellowing pages, though some books are so unique, that can change.
You can find out the most about that - and even more about how valuable it may be and how to sell it at: http://www.baumanrarebooks.com Safe link.
There is 'About Us' at the top there (and more).
There is also a toll-free US number you can call at the bottom right, and 'On Collecting' in that area, too...good to read to know what to do.
Good luck.
Wish I could see it myself someday.
