Press Release Body = Cleveland, Ohio - June 19, 2007 - As the days grow warmer,
antique shows, auctions and yard sales are in full bloom. Make sure you are prepared
for these collecting opportunities with the June 2007 issue of Kovels on Antiques
and Collectibles newsletter. Nothing else brings the collector up to date on the
latest prices, trends and news. The 12-page, color-illustrated newsletter is
available to subscribers in print and online from the Kovels' website at
http://www.kovels.com . This month\'s issue features stories on:

There is a bright future for a dull pewter measuring cup that recently was recently
sold. It inched its way up to $6,960 at a New Hampshire auction. The 1820s measure
was made by an early American pewterer named Timothy Boardman. We pour out more
facts in this month\'s issue.

Collectors with a burning interest in antique cigar labels found a perfect match at
a Dallas auction of nearly 200 stone lithographed labels. A colorful Edsonia label
picturing an old phonograph sold for $388 at the auction. There is a story behind
every label. Be sure to read ours in this issue.

Fancy antique dolls can\'t go out without fancy antique dresses. That\'s why a big
doll auction in Atlanta included a fashion show for dolls. A 1900 folklore costume,
one of several doll outfits and accessories on the auction block, sold for $1,680.
Grab the June issue and check out what the best dolls want to wear.

The Shakers took a back seat to no one in chair design. If you pine for well-made
furniture, try a Shaker rocker. One recently sold at an Illinois auction for $600.
We\'ve got even more Shaker furniture to show you in this issue.

There\'s no state quite like Florida when it comes to souvenirs. The tourist industry
began there in the 1890s, boomed in the 1950s and thrives today. Most people who
visit the sunshine state take home something to remember their trip by. This month's
issues has some wonderful examples for you to see.

The June issue of the Kovels' newsletter also includes their regular monthly
features, such as the Buyer's Price Guide, Collector's Gallery and News Flash.
