Wedding Collectibles at the June Meeting

My collections don’t contain wedding collectibles, so I brought a matchbook from my November 23, 1963 wedding. Marj Berg

I know a lot about wedding rings. Something I learned when I had my first jewelry store; they actually date from the Roman period. That’s when the first wedding rings were given out. They started out being made of tin-like metal and quickly progressed to gold which was a precious metal even back in Roman times. So, for 2,000 years the ring has been used for that purpose, as a sign of love between two people and the joining of two people together.

One thing I’ve noticed is that young people are not so concerned about diamonds which were prevalent during my career but are looking for alternate stones; partly because of cost and partly because of manufactured diamonds and the negative association with wealth and status. Young people are getting ring tattoos and rings made out of everything from titanium to ceramics or wood. I still prefer gold and diamonds.

Clinton Beck

I don’t know if this went to a wedding or not, but this is a calendar plate from 1916 from Three Hills General store in Three Hills, Alberta and there’s a whole series of these with little Dutch kids on them and this one says “You will nefer yet feel sorry dot you und I togedder met”. Bill Borgwardt

This is the top of my grandmother’s navy-blue wool wedding dress. It’s only the top because the skirt probably got used for skirts for her daughters. She came from England in 1910 to North Battleford and she hadn’t seen her betrothed for 7 years (he had come to Canada to homestead in 1903). He surprised her; he got on the train a couple of stops ahead to surprise her and she didn’t really recognize him. I still have letters from her auntie who would write: “keep warm. You’ve got to keep warm.” So, this is fully lined and it’s all put together with little hooks – there are no buttons and one side of the

hook is made of thread. I don’t know if the neckpiece was ever white, but this garment has been through a fire. Gail Sabo

This is an Occupied Japan bisque wedding cake topper, probably 1950s. Gail Sabo

I couldn’t resist bringing my two bride dolls – composition; $25 each and they are for sale, but these little guys are Gebruder Kuhnlenz of Germany from about 1915; bisque head, composition/paper mache body, mostly original clothing. They were really dirty and had to be cleaned up and I had to make a skirt to cover the original slip. The groom had a crack across his nose. He had glasses that I seem to have lost on the way here. Jana Sneep

I brought two match books, one says Susanne and Klaus May 7, 1977. Susanne is my cousin. The other wedding matchbook says Belinda and Gordon September 3, 1977 and Gordon is also my cousin.

Both of these couples are still together. David Schroeder

I brought this wedding topper, circa 1940 - 1950 and a Precious Moments topper from 1997. Shirley Dinning

On a different note – there are weddings and then there are shotgun weddings. So, in speaking of that, if you were to go to a shotgun wedding you would

probably see a 12-guage but if you went to a really serious shotgun wedding, the father of the bride might carry something like this British Eliah 14-guage round. This is the type of round used in market-hunting and the biggest round you could comfortably shoot – sure to get the groom’s attention. Bryce Ziegler

I’ve been collecting postcards for many years and I have a collection of wedding photographs.

Gillian Budd

I didn’t think I had anything to bring but just remembered that I’m wearing my maternal grandmother’s wedding ring from 1933. It’s inscribed “True Love”.

Sorry, don’t remember who showed this ring.

This is from 1926 – Cliff’s Mom & Dad and what I find unusual is that the groom is seated and the bride is standing. Susanne Balslov-Kulak

I have a photograph of my grandparent’s (William Cooper and Emily Holt) wedding. They were married September 11, 1904 south of London, England. There are quite a few generations in the picture as they both had several brothers and sisters as well as my grandmother’s mother and grandfather. When we visited England, we were able to track down these

relatives and identify almost everybody in the photo through their descendants. That was very special for me as I discovered I had this huge family in England. Carol Snyder

Wedding collectibles fit into all my collecting categories. Here I have bride & groom paper dolls, an Analee bride mouse (there was probably a guy one, but I don’t have it). I have some bridal dress patterns from the 50s. I don’t collect recipe books but do have this book of wedding cake recipes from 1966 and it has some really crazy wedding cakes in it – colorful and big. I didn’t bring any dolls but I have lots of bridal dolls from different eras. I also brought a picture of my wedding from 1985. Vicki Hackl

I have three generations of wedding collectibles. I brought a silver cream & sugar bowl. These were my parent’s and they were married 90 years ago. This is my garter from my wedding 60 years ago and then from my son’s wedding – a matchbook from 30 years ago. So, I’ve got the three items all 30 years apart. Dorothy Sande

The Present Speaks of the Past for the Future. New Indigenous Art in Queen Elizabeth Park.

Presented by James Hogan, co-authored by Bessie G. Hogan

“Reign” by Mary Anne Barkhouse. Home to hunted and hunter alike. Paying respect to the healing and adaptive nature of the land and to the original inhabitants of the territory.

The City of Edmonton commissioned six works of indigenous art to honour the historical influences of First Nation’s peoples in the region and in particular our River Valley; these works were to be done by native artists.

On September 15, 2018, I attended the official unveiling of these pieces of art. The weather was cold, snow turning to rain and breezy. There was no public parking in the park. Four of the six artists were present at the ceremony.

One of the artists is my cousin, namely Mary Anne Barkhouse, who currently lives in Peterborough, Ontario. Her work here is titled “Reign”. It features a coyote on top of a red granite column with a hare hiding at the base. The ground area around the column is decorated limestone stones that have impressions of native vegetation from the region. The sides of the polished granite column have engraved skeletal images of local dinosaurs that roamed the area. As art has personal meaning, I will not give my interpretation; it is powerful and thought-provoking.

Mary Anne’s art can be found at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C., the cities of Oshawa and Thunder Bay, Ontario to name a few. She has held seminars in Banff and Calgary and travelled to the USA and Europe in connection with her work and displays. A few years ago, she helped with an Edmonton inner-city children program “Wolves in the City” to expose kids to the different types of expressive art mediums.

When you have a chance, you should take a stroll through the west end of Queen Elizabeth Park and enjoy all the art works from the six indigenous artists.

Letters to the Editor From Gail Sabo July 8, 2019

Bill Elmer, one of our charter members, passed away July 3rd. We had a call from Bill’s niece this afternoon. Apparently, he had not been well for the past five years with kidney problems among other things, then a heart attack 3 weeks ago. He and Gladys took Gene and I to our first Wild Rose Antique Collectors meeting in 1982. He collected old radios. Here is his photo from the obituary. http://edmontonjournal.remembering.ca/obituary/bill-elmer-1075566459

Help Save the Integrity of the Hotel Macdonald Site In 2015 Accor S.A. headquartered in Paris, France acquired operating control of Canada’s most important and iconic railway hotels, including the Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton. It is now proposed that the City of Edmonton amend its 1989 zoning and development contracts with the Hotel Macdonald to allow a Toronto developer (Great Gulf) to erect an 89 storey apartment building on the small park in front of the Hotel Macdonald. For a period of 5 years in the early 1990s generous property tax concessions were provided by City property owners to the Hotel Macdonald’s owner to make the renovations that were necessary to continue to operate. However, conceding even more now, in the form of a right for the Hotel to dramatically reduce its presence on Jasper Avenue, and the creation of a very negative building shadow in Winston Churchill Square and on the Cenotaph in front of City Hall during the noon hour in the fall and winter months is not a reasonable thing to do. Details about the Fairmont/Great Gulf proposal for the Hotel Macdonald site can be found on a City of Edmonton web page called the “9955 Jasper Avenue Rezoning”. The City’s planning department is putting this forward as a simple rezoning application, but it is much more than that. Because contracts would need to be amended, it is not the same simple rezoning issue as is often the case when development proposals come forward for City approval. Because Edmonton property owners have paid for what we currently enjoy at the Hotel Macdonald site, any changes there must come with our approval. To move forward with a positive suggestion on this issue, I suggest we promote an alternative approach to capitalizing on the value of this site in the heart of Edmonton. In place of a plaque to just one of the early settlers in Edmonton (Frank Oliver), who is now in some disrepute because of his unfair dealings with the original Indigenous occupants of this land, let us ask the City to ask Fairmont Hotels to host a permanent and full feature ground-level display on this site dedicated to the Indigenous people and early settlers living on and near this site at the beginning of the last century. This is the geographic center of Edmonton, and point from

which the modern city of Edmonton grew. If it is necessary, let us encourage all three levels of government (municipal, provincial and federal) to work together to purchase this land so it can be used in a more historically sensitive way than is currently proposed. To help make this happen, I encourage you to e-mail Mayor Iveson; your Ward Councillor, Member of the Alberta Provincial Legislature; and Member of Parliament to outline your wishes for this site. If you need help finding these e-mail addresses, please e-mail me at [email protected] . I would be happy to pass that information on to you. Karlis Poruks

Seen in the Spring 2019 Holedown, Fraser Valley Antique & Collectibles Club:

“Condolences were in order for Kitimat’s Adrian & Jo Tryssenaar earlier this year upon the loss of one of Jo’s sisters, who once worked for the iconic Eddy Match Company branch in Nelson making matchbook stock.”

There was also an interesting article Dominion Glass – How the Diamond-D Logo came about by Jason Vanderhill. Apparently, a family had established a distillery in Saskatchewan and their superior product was appearing in unmarked bottles in the mid-west United States. However, it was too good to last and about 1927 the American authorities required that all glass containers entering the US from Canada have embossed on them the country of origin. As a result, the company i.e. Dominion Glass Co. adopted the Diamond D trademark. http://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/DominionGlass.pdf
