The 17-by-11-inch work (less frame) was signed “Julie H. Beers ’78” bottom right and titled on verso. Beers’s work conveys the intimacy of the Hudson River and New England’s vast landscapes. She was one of only a few prolific female painters of the Victorian era. Beers was the sister of two other Hudson River School artists: James McDougal Hart and William Hart. She learned to paint from them, as well as her husband, who was also an artist. Her work was widely exhibited throughout the United States, including the Boston Athenaeum, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design. “It was uplifting to see such strong results for the Julie Beers and Anthony Thieme paintings, as more traditional subjects have been depressed,” said Travis

Landry, a Bruneau & Co. auctioneer. “It was a good sign for the markets as we enter 2022.” The painting by Anthony Thieme (Mass./Calif., 1888-1954) was a watercolor-on-paper that depicted groups of men in boats floating through calm waters, surrounded by tropical trees, and was signed “A Thieme” in the lower right corner. The painting easily bested its $500-$800 estimate, finishing at $12,500. Thieme studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts under George Hacker, then later in Italy and Germany. He’s best known for depictions of boats, fishermen and harbors. Thieme was a major figure in the Rockport (Mass.) School of American regional art and was an accomplished en plein air artist, but he suffered from depression and took his own life at age 66. An original portrait painting by Edgar S. Paxson (Mont., 18521919), of a Native American man in side profile, changed hands for $12,500. The oil-on-board painting, 5.5-by-4.5 inches, was housed in a 9-by-8-inch frame and signed and dated “E. S. Paxson 1906” lower right. Paxson was a notable artist of the West, born in New York with his early art education received from his father, a sign painter and carriage decorator. He moved to Montana in 1881, where his studios became popular attractions for artists visiting the West. Paxson was most interested in painting the portraits of those who fought at Little Big Horn. This led him to befriend and ultimately paint Gall, the Chief of the Sioux. An oil-on-canvas abstract modern painting by Sudanese artist Hussein Shariffe (19342005) found a new owner for $11,250. The work depicted an abstract figure with an elongated, spindly neck and legs, beside a bird in deep muted colors, with

Auctioneers, fetching a robust $20,000, including the buyer’s premium. Other original artworks also did well. The auction featured 386 lots, mostly pulled from estates and collections across New England. “The auction was exciting to start the new year off with a lot of bidding action on all platforms and on all categories from fine arts to Asian across the board,” said Kevin Bruneau, Bruneau & Co’s president and an auctioneer. “It was good to see. We look forward to the rest of 2022.” The Beers painting was a naturalistic depiction of towering

Collector Chats With Peter S. Seibert
Winter is always a tough time for collecting. Shows are few and far between, auctions even more so, and I find myself spending the dark hours looking at the internet hunting for treasures. EBay still remains my haunt for esoterica for my collection. There are a number of items that I can find on eBay consistently at lower prices than in shops. Its an interesting norm,

Lucien Freud (1922-2011). In 1960, Shariffe began to teach at the School of Fine Arts in Khartoum, which marked a period of experimentation in his craft. Shariffe’s work has been exhibited at Gallery One in London, the Sao Paulo Biennial in Brazil, the Sharjar Art Foundation, as well as in Jordan, Egypt and Germany. The runner-up top lot, after the Beers painting, was an exquisitely carved, 19th century European mahogany stained glass bronze bar. The bar, 10 feet tall by 13 feet, 6 inches wide, featured stained glass trim over a large mirror decorated with blue and white tiles over a marble top over three doors, one opening to reveal a sink, flanked by two large bronze figural columns depicting Herculean men with lion fur draped over their shoulders. The bar was removed from Miramar Mansion in Newport, R.I., and fell short of its $20,000-$40,000 estimate, selling for $19,200. It has some minor casting flaws to the
items. As a buyer, I need to be thoughtful and do my homework. There aren’t editions of Consumer Reports that address antiques. Rather, we need to rely upon knowledge. In this case, the item was not wholly a fake, but rather it had been modified from the original. Yes, the seller should have known better, but so should I. In the dark days of winter, it’s easy for you to want to find a treasure. Take it from someone who just got stung. Do your homework. Study and ask questions of any seller, and do not get caught up in a rush just to buy.

I see the item, and greed captures my heart, and I buy without thinking. About a year ago, I bought two outright fakes doing this, and I just bought another one in the last two weeks. I should know better and take the time to study items, but I worry about the unseen hordes waiting to make their purchase. The best weapon that we have in identifying fakes is knowledge. But an even more important lesson is having the patience needed to apply that knowledge on a sudden opportunity. I am guilty of not following this rule, and this is how I got burned.

for example, that miniature portraits are far more inexpensive online than they are with dealers. I also will prowl ebay.uk looking for items that our British cousins do not prize or price as much as we do. There are a number of items that occur on the ebay.uk site that are consistently lower priced than here in the states, particularly militaria and jewelry. It’s just always important when buying through this avenue to make sure those sellers ship to the United States. My problem comes when I start looking on American dealer sites. I hear lots of stories about collectors who haunt dealer sites looking to buy that treasure within moments of it being listed. It’s common knowledge that dealers who regularly post items will have collectors waiting at the door to grab new items right away. Having been frustrated at

Business partners Miles King and Chris Sammet were elated with the excellent auction results in virtually all toy categories. “There was strong competition for the rare Marx prototypes, which were very high-condition pieces, and a lot of bidder interest in our first major offering of cast-iron toys. We’re going to make sure there’s more high-quality castiron in our April toy sale,” said King. The demand for toy motorcycles has been off the charts for Milestone, and the rare, early examples offered in this sale only added fuel to the growing fire. The top lot of both the motorcycle section and the sale overall was a Marx protoype “Speedboy 4” with a soldier driver and rear accoutrements, including a branded “AMMO” box and a movable spring-loaded cannon for shooting projectiles. In nearperfect condition, it raced off to a new owner for $16,800 against an estimate of $6,000-$9,000. Many of the 130 bikes that crossed the auction block came with their original factory boxes,
An oversize Wilkins (American) cast-iron water tower fire wagon, late 19th century, 44 inches long with three 10.5-inch horses, presented in all-original with no cracks or breaks. It sold for $8,400 against an estimate of $4,000-$6,000.

art depicting an early Indian bike whizzing along with a passenger in tow made it super appealing to collectors. According to Milestone’s research, the toy was discovered in a collection of parts and accessories at an old Indian motorcycle dealership (the Indian company ceased operations in 2003). Entered with a $4,000-$6,000 estimate, the rare toy sold for $9,840.

so familiar to auctioneers and toy dealers, “Wow! I had one of those when I was a kid!” One of Milestone Auctions’ specialties is antique and vintage toys, and the nostalgia factor that drives today’s prices for clean, crisp vintage toys is something they witness at each of their sales, including their Jan. 29 Winter Antique Toy Spectacular that took in just under half a million dollars.
The competition for prototypes was not confined to land vehicles, as proven by the $6,600 selling price paid for this Marx tin wind-up Tom Corbett Space Cadets Rocket Ship with desirable handpainted details.

A Bing (German) 40-inch three-funnel ocean liner made ca. 1915-27 displays all-original paint and has a fully operational clockwork motor. It sold for an above-estimate $6,150.
Sought-after Tonka toys from the postwar “TV advertising” era captured bidders’ attention. Inspiring memories of afternoons on a sandpile or just digging in the backyard, a boxed 13-inch Tonka #406 pressed-steel Dump Truck looked as though it had escaped any play at all. The pristine green-and-yellow work vehicle was in pristine condition and sold for more than eight times its high estimate at $3,444. A stunning example of a Smith-Miller pressed-steel Coca-Cola delivery truck complete with all its cases of miniature Coke bottles was the object of bidder interest from the day the auction catalog came out. It was entered with an $800$1,000 estimate but realized $2,460. It would be difficult to locate a better example of the Steelcraft Navy Patrol pedal airplane entered in the sale with an $800-$1,000 estimate. All original and with nice original paint, it soared to $2,583. The highest-selling European toy was a 40-inch Bing (German) three-funnel tin ocean liner made around 1915 to 1927. With all-original paint and a fully operational clockwork motor, it surpassed its high estimate to sell for $6,150. All prices quoted are inclusive of buyer’s premium.

At a modest 5.5 inches long, this rare I.Y. Metal Toys (Japan) tin friction #3 Race Motor Cycle with its original box had plenty of get up and go, selling for $8,400 against a pre-sale estimate of $4,000-$6,000.
bearing a striking multicolor image of a rider speeding along on a bike with white tires. This tin friction gem approached the auction block with expectations of making $4,000-$6,000 but went the extra mile to retire at $8,400. American cast-iron vehicles also had a big day, starting with an oversize, late-19th-century Wilkins (Keene, N.H.) cast-iron water tower fire wagon. An impressive production, it measured 44 inches long, including its trio of 10.5-inch-long horses. “This particular Wilkins model was the largest horse-drawn cast-iron toy ever made,” noted King. “Cast-iron collectors consider it one of the great prizes to acquire.” In all-original condition with no cracks or breaks, it earned a very respectable $8,400 against an estimate of $4,000-$6,000. Made in the 1920s, a very rare Freidag (American) 7.5-inch cast-iron Pickup Utility Truck with all-original apple-green paint and nickel wheels was designed with a cast-in driver figure wearing a gold-visored cap. It rumbled off for $2,400 against a $600-$800 estimate. And at only 4.25 inches long, a Dent (American) factory-painted cast-iron La Salle Sedan with a nickel grille, from a series of toys that doesn’t appear at auction very often, came with the bonus of its rare original, paper-labeled box. In excellent to near-mint condition, with no breaks or repairs, the eyecatching red-and-yellow motor car glided to a winning price of $1,660, more than twice its high estimate. Space toys grabbed the spotlight in this sale as well. A Marx tin wind-up Tom Corbett Space Cadets Rocket Ship prototype with amusing pre-war styling and handpainted details peaked at $6,600. From the postwar era, an especially well preserved and well accessorized example of a 38-inchtall Marx Big Loo Giant Moon Robot also created a stir. It was in excellent condition, and, remarkably, its talking mechanism was tested and deemed to be in fine working order. With its massive original box displaying rich, unfaded colors, Big Loo caught the eye of multiple bidders and went on to more than double its high estimate at $3,480.

There’s no great mystery as to why vintage toys are so popular with collectors. They’re colorful, they’re fun, and they invariably prompt the comment

Candle Molds Continued from page 1
apprentice at a pottery business that descended through the James family, having been established by another Aaron James (1679-1752) in 1728, who migrated from England. This was an important industry in that day, when but little tinware was used, and his master, who died about 1822, left a valuable estate. He had learned the business with one Curtis, near Front and Walnut Streets, Philadelphia, and always used Philadelphia clay. Furthermore, West Chester University published an article written by James Jones in 2011, titled ”West Chester’s First Factory Still Stands,” where Jones wrote the following: “Although the existence of West Chester’s first factory was no secret, its location was something of a mystery and everyone with an interest had assumed that it was demolished in the 19th century. As it turns out, the factory was preserved and remodeled into a row of houses that still stand today. The historic factory was Enos Smedley’s pottery. Smedley moved his potterymaking business to the Burough from Downington in 1831, and created a successful business that used clay imported from Philadelphia by wagon and railroad to produce dishes, pots and other utensils that he sold locally. Smedley continued the business until 1852, when he was succeeded by James P. Donnelly, who was one of his employees. Donnelly operated the pottery until 1863.” The best-known example of Smedley’s production may be a sgraffito red earthenware flowerpot and saucer in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which he made in Westtown, inscribed, “Mary Ann Seeds, 5th mo. 22n 1826,” although Smedley produced a wide variety of household utilitarian wares, apparently including candle molds that are
very similar to those manufactured in West Bloomfield. The examples that can be associated with this business today are marked on each tube “Smedley & Company.” It is unknown if there is any connection between the candle molds manufactured in western New York and those made in Chester County, Pa., but a number of unmarked examples also survive today. These are typically attributed to the Wilcox Pottery, but it should be taken into consideration that the unmarked examples may have actually been made in either western New York or southeastern Pennsylvania in the 1840s and 1850s. Nonetheless, these were produced during a period of intense competition and a lighting revolution in 19th century America, a type of production most-often associated with tin candle molds today.

Mauricetown Antiques Show Scheduled For March 5 And 6 After 47 continuous years of an antiques show being offered in the Mauricetown Fire Hall, it took a pandemic to shut it down. But now this beloved institution on the South Jersey antique circuit is back for its 48th annual antiques show, set for Saturday and Sunday, March 5 and 6. Longtime antiques dealer Carl von Rhine has been
coordinating the show for the fire company for over a decade and has participated in the show for 40 years. Finding 40 quality dealers to fill the two rooms available is never a problem either. “I try to keep the show eclectic with something to appeal to every collector,” says von Rhine. “It’s not all furniture or jewelry or glass. This show is dealer friendly and
customer friendly.” Once the March show is over, von Rhine begins preparations for another show, which is held annually the first weekend in December. Mauricetown is a quaint maritime village that enjoyed an economic boom in the 19th century due to its location on the Maurice River, six miles from the Delaware Bay. Sea captains
lived there, and ships were constructed in its shipyards. Oystering was another major source of local employment. Most of the buildings in the town date to between 1815 and 1930. The historic district was added to the National Register for Historic Places in 2018. Oysters remain popular. Members of the fire Continued on page 11

Dr. Renz’s Herb Bitters Bottle Brings $24,150 In Part One Of Mel Hammer Collection The California, Ca. 1868-81 Bottle Sets New High Mark A Dr. Renz’s Herb Bitters bottle (San Francisco, Calif., ca. 1868-81), 9.75 inches tall, with a uniquely styled applied tapered top (one of maybe four known), light lime green in color, sold for $24,150 in the online-only sale #72 of part one of the Mel Hammer bottle collection, which began Dec. 10 and ended Dec. 19, by American Bottle Auctions. The Hammer collection is an incredible hoard gathered over a 50-year span by a man who dedicated much of his adult life to the acquisition and study of antique glass. The sale featured many of
Hammer’s favorites, such as schnapps and gin bottles, bitters bottles and inkwells, many boasting 9.5 grades. Part two will be held in March. Mel Hammer died on Thanksgiving Day in 2021. The Dr. Renz’s Herb Bitters was easily the top achiever in the 137-bottle auction, and the price was a new auction record. A winner at the 1869 California State Fair, the bottle is one of just a handful known with the unique style tapered top. It was undoubtedly the first embossed bottle made for this bitters. All known examples have a green hue,
with crudity consistent with the era. “The bitters stole the show, but there were some very respectful bids in all categories,” said Jeff Wichmann, the owner of American Bottle Auctions. “We were amazed at some of the prices of the squares and inkwells. For instance, out of the 60 or so early squares, including gins, schnapps and sarsaparillas, 15 sold for $1,000 or more. One gin sold for $10,925.” A square, red amber whittled Turner Brothers bottle Hammer had purchased at an American Bottle Auctions sale
boasted an applied top with graphite pontil and showed both Turner Brothers locations (Buffalo, N.Y., and San Francisco, Calif.). The bottle checked every box: the color, crudity, rarity and condition were all exemplar. It brought $3,910. A Dr. Wonser’s USA Indian Root Bitters bottle with an applied top, medium amber in color and showing lots of uneven glass and whittle, was near-perfect and sold accordingly for $15,525. The amber and aqua Wonser’s are among the most sought after and coveted Western bitters out
there. For its distinctive design, unique name and overall appeal, Dr. Wonser’s are simply hard to beat. A barrel-shaped Greeley’s Bourbon Whiskey Bitters bottle with applied top (G102), 9.5 inches tall, attracted bidders because it was a true purple Greeley’s. While these barrels come in shades of purple or puce, they are often very dark and hard to see through or are an off color, similar to the bourbon whiskey bitters. Such was not the case with this example. The bottle sold for $4,600. Continued on page 9
A Vonthofen’s Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps bottle with applied top and graphite pontil, a nice bluishgreen in color and much larger than the usual Aromatic Schnapps bottles, sold for $2,070.
