Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques To Host Antique Conestoga Auction And Artisan Show On Sept. 30 And Oct. 1 Special 15th Anniversary Celebration Will Take Place At Lebanon Valley Expo Center She rides again! The 15th anniversary celebration of Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques Antique and Artisan Show will be held on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center complex, 80 Rocherty Road, Lebanon, Pa. Show hours will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for day one and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. day two. Gas up the truck, get some seasonal garb, fluff up a fancy hat and stroll among the best pickers together at one unique antique and artisan event. In honor of breast cancer awareness month, attendees are asked to wear a touch of pink. Many vendors will be selling pink items, with proceeds going to Wellspan Sechler Family Cancer Center in Lebanon, Pa. Also, don’t miss the return of the original witch on a pig tee-shirt, “she rides again.” This fall show is hosted by the owners of Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques, Diane Gibble and Troy Tranquillo. The two started the show 15 years ago in the backyard of their shop in Bethel, Pa., with just a few tents full of great vendors and eager shoppers who came dressed in witch hats and costumes to celebrate the fall event. Each year, the show grew bigger and better, and with that came bigger and better venues. This will be the fourth year that they have brought their show to the Lebanon Valley Expo Center. Vendors will be provided with larger booths to allow more room for social distancing, and, when possible, empty spaces
will be provided between vendors to allow dealers and guests more room. Hand sanitizer will be available at the front entrance and other points throughout the show. All facility overhead doors (and there are many) will be open to transform the facility into an “open air event,” so please dress accordingly. The show will go on rain or shine. With over 75,000 square-feet indoors and 70-plus acres outside, be sure to wear good walking shoes. What makes this fall antique and artisan show so successful? Well, it’s the talented vendors, of course. And this year’s line-up of quality vendors will not disappoint. The slogan, “Bring a truck,” isn’t a joke. Shoppers will need one to haul off their goods. Each year, the line-up of vendors grows, and this year is no different. A few include Side Street Salvage, Winter Wheat Antiques, Rusty Nut Antiques, Cornfield Primitives, and Cabin in the Woods. Many well-known talented artisans will be on-site, including Bobbi’s Addictive Accessories, Krisnick, Wooly Rugger, Fairy Rose Studio, The Mud Room, and others. There are many dealers who bring traditional antiques to the show as well. No event is complete without great food, and there will be a variety of delicious foods from which to choose, including the in-house food vendor, Roberts, a native of Lebanon County.

Bodnar’s Exceeds Expectations With First Sale For Estate Of “Tiffany” George Fenton Art Glass Tall Vase Sells For $10,620
An art glass and bronze Tiffany Studios lamp signed “Tiffany Studios New York” on the oil holder “#D.680” and shade marked “S4239” sold for $11,505.
Bodnar’s held the first estate auction of beloved front row attendee and friend George Durnya on June 23. Several more sales are planned. Durnya attended Bodnar’s first auction in 1994, where he purchased a Tiffany lamp, and the rest was history. He became a regular customer at sales and was given the nickname “Tiffany” George for his collections of art glass, bronzes, and lighting, such as lamps, and more. Durnya passed away, and his son consigned the vast collections to Joe Bodnar. Over 300 lots were offered in the first sale, and the top lot was an art glass and bronze Tiffany Studios
lamp signed “Tiffany Studios New York,” which realized $11,505. An art pottery with art glass shade table lamp with electrified base unsigned, in the manner of Tiffany, sold for $7,965. All prices included an 18-percent buyer’s premium. Several Tiffany shades did well, including an “LCT” art glass lamp shade selling for $2,124 and another “LCT” art glass lamp shade marked “LCT” for $1,534. “Several lots really did well and surprised all of us,” cheered Joe Bodnar, owner of Bodnar’s Auction. They included an art glass lamp shade, marking in gold, appearing to be Steuben, (which) flew past its $100-
$300 estimate, selling for $1,770. Another shade lot, a group of two art glass lamp shades, one marked “E2580,” the other unmarked, brought $1,534. An iridescent art glass vase in the manner of Durand with an Art Nouveau base sold for $1,180, and an antique art glass oil lamp with bronze mounts, marked on bottom “S427” with “Kromos-Brenner Burner,” smoked past its $1,000 high estimate to bring $7,080. Another surprise was an art glass tall vase believed to have been Durand; however, the buyer informed the auction house it was Fenton. It sold for $10,620. An Arts and
The Jacob Eby Sheraton mahogany shelf clock sold for $30,680, going to the nearby Manheim Historical Society.
