This small table that you pur- chased for your office in 1960 was designed by Eero Saarinen, (1910-1961). He was a famous architect who was awarded commissions for iconic furniture designs, major monumental struc- tures and more. Born in Finland, he grew up in America and this design was patented in 1960. "The Tulip Collection" is a series of tables, chairs and stools supported on a cast-alu- minum pedestal. Part of his legacy was forming fiber- glass and other unconven- tional industrial materials into unfamiliar shapes. He achieved his goal of elimi- nating the "ugly clutter of furniture legs." Knoll Man- ufacturing Associates of New York had a history of collaborations with pioneer- ing modernists. This table is stamped underneath with the trademark Knoll logo. Only collectors of purest MCM furniture purchase an original. Lower costs for modern imitations are pleasing to the pocketbook and drive down fair market value. Reproductions and reissues of classic furniture can be well-fabricated and have a lower price tag for the casual furniture buyer. Readers, be cautious: If you pay a Saarinen price, make sure that it's authen- tic. Originals are defined by the machining; there will be no visible screws connect- ing the stem base to the top. Tulip table-top material can vary but all have a cast-alu- minum base. Your authentic, bevel- edged, walnut table top is polished with Rilsan coat- ing and has a 16-inch diame- ter and 20-inch height. Depending on condition and availability, the average sell- ing price for a Saarinen Tulip side-table is $1,200. * * * Q.: This 8 1⁄2-inch diame- ter bowl was given to me in 2010 when my mother was 102 years old. There are no markings, letters or identifi- cation. Please help me with a value. — K.O., Waukesha A.: To discern the true color of "carnival glass," hold it up to a strong light; the visible base color is the true glass color. All other hues given off by the beauti- ful sprayed-on iridescence do not dictate base color. Your "Captive Rose" pattern (circa 1915) was produced in a variety of colors, all with 11 roses as part of the com- plex design. Similar to intri- cate, lace needlework, each circular row presents a con- tinuous pattern. Examples most often do not have a trade mark or ID. In 1905, brothers Frank, John, and Charles Fenton owned the Ohio Fenton Art Glass Co. Two years later they moved to Williamstown, W.Va., and manufactured "iridized glass" with a metallic luster. Like your bowl, the early molded pieces had great attention to detail and edges were scalloped, fluted, crimped, or pinched. By the 1950s, sales began to wane and rail boxcars of this glass type were sold to trav- elling enterprises. The lower-quality pieces were used for prize winners at carnivals and the name stuck! I have seen hundreds of carnival glassware pieces — most with a a very mini- mal value. However, if your "Captive Rose" is in perfect condition and placed in a specialized glass auction, it could captivate a collector to pay upwards of $400. Value criteria: condition, rarity, pattern, iridescence, market desirability, base color and provenance.

Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital to get new machine for cancer care OCONOMOWOC — Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital will soon have a new way to provide image- guided cancer radiotherapy. According to a release, ProHealth Care has begun the process of installing a new linear accelerator in the hospital. "This addition to our can- cer services will enhance the level of care available for patients in the western part of our service area," Sloan Maes, director of oncology services, said. "It allows us to provide lead- ing-edge care close to home. It's part of our ongoing commitment to continuous- ly improve quality of care, patient experience and effi- ciency." Linear accelerators tar- get tumor tissue with pre- scribed doses of high-ener- gy X-rays, destroying can- cer cells while sparing sur- rounding tissue. The new Varian Medical VitalBeam system uses intensity-modulated radia- tion therapy, which allows for the delivery of precise radiation doses to specific areas within a cancer tumor. It also features faster, higher-dose delivery rates. Linear accelerators are located in specially con- structed concrete treatment rooms to provide X-ray shielding. Construction to prepare for the new 18,700- pound system began in June. The linear accelera- tor is expected to be deliv- ered in September and in use by mid-November. The VitalBeam system will replace a Varian model that has been in use at the hos- pital since 2000. In addition, the new tech- nology compensates for patient motion such as breathing, ensuring that patients receive therapy only when the tumor is in the precise position target- ed for the radiation. — Freeman Staff Submitted photo Medical linear accelerators are the key equipment used for deliv- ering radiotherapy treatments. ProHealth Oconomowoc Memori- al Hospital's new Varian Medical VitalBeam image-guided cancer radiotherapy system is approximately 9 feet tall and 15 feet long, and weighs about 18,700 pounds.
