Dear Sun Spots: I was wondering if you or someone who reads Sun Spots would have an answer to my question. I would like to know what happened to the Food City sales flier that used to be in the Sun Journal every week? Thanks. – No Name, Strong.

Dear Sun Spots: I have a wooden carpet sweeper that has Bissell’s and Grand Rapids stamped on it, also stenciled flowers. It also has a brass plate that says “D. Allen Co., Lewiston, Me.” Does anyone know anything about this item, age and maybe its value? – No Name, No Town.

Answer: A search through the Sun Journal archives did not show a mention of a company by that name, and we’re hoping readers with information will contact the column. We found similar items for sale online, dated 1900 to 1939, ranging in price from $20 to $150.
