Reinholds is a small West Cocalico Township town in northern Lancaster County close to the Berks County border. He worked in Wyomissing at Narrow Fabric, a company that produced fabric rickrack (often spelled ricrac).

American furniture in the United States and underscores the leading role of Philadelphia’s artisans and patrons who profoundly shaped early American furniture design.

The book is published in anticipation of the opening of the new galleries for the display and interpretation of American Art from the early Colonial period to the mid-19th century, which are made possible through the ambitious master plan by architect Frank Gehry to rejuvenate the museum’s iconic Main Building, opening next year.

The richly illustrated volume focuses on nearly 300 works from the museum’s spectacular collection of early American furniture, which is especially well known for furniture by artisans

This unrestored copy comes to market only weeks after Heritage sold a 7.0-graded copy of Detective Comics No. 27 for $1.5 million.

and Robin, smiling at each other as they swing across the Gotham City skyline against a bright yellow backdrop. Then there’s the backpage pin-up “autographed� by the Caped Crusader and his fledgling sidekick promising “bigger and better thrills.�

Inside, readers are presented with “The Legend of the Batman,� an origin story, which first appeared in Detective Comics No. 33, filled with grief and anger that will one day be retold, endlessly, in movies and television shows built upon that two-page narrative.

After that comes the debut of a villain more popular now than ever before, star of his own blockbuster franchise, “a man with a changeless masklike face but for the eyes, burning, hatefilled eyes,� called only the Joker.

Then, a few pages later, Batman squares off against the monsters of Hugo Strange, who made his first appearance only months earlier in Detective Comics No. 36 and quickly became one of the hero’s first recurring villains. A few pages after that follows another iconic debut: a burglar and “beautiful young woman� called The Cat, who, 80 years later, is married to Batman in an acclaimed new book penned by writer Tom King, who won an Eisner Award last year for his run on Batman.

hands of a collector who bought it from a renowned comic book shop in Houston, Texas.

In 1979, Billy T. Giles moved from Shreveport, La., to Houston, when Texas Eastern Transmission Pipeline Co. relocated its headquarters to Texas. Giles fell in with the local comics shops and dealers and helped his son complete an Amazing Spider-Man collection and obtain other key comics.

Giles then decided to collect Batman for himself, starting with the purchase of six of the first nine issues from Camelot Bookstore owner Willie Patterson’s personal collection. Camelot was located in downtown Houston, where Giles spent many lunch hours discussing comics, especially the “Batman No. 1� with Patterson. Around that time, Patterson advertised Camelot’s copy of “Batman No. 1� in the Comics Buyer’s Guide for $5,000, at the time a costly investment. When it failed to sell at such a steep price, around 1982, Giles offered him $3,000 cash, which Patterson accepted.

When Giles retired, he began a comic book business called BTandWDGiles and spent the rest of his life buying and selling comics.

His passion hobby had turned professional. When he died in 2019, Giles’s son inherited his father’s collection, and a year later decided it was someone else’s turn to own the finest known copy of “Batman No. 1.�

it. According to one definition in the trade, a cultural asset is something that has value due to its historic and perceived importance in a specific culture. Even financial news media heavyweights like CNBC and Fox Business are not immune from this trend and are actively reporting on it.

So, as I had my 44th birthday, the question I find myself asking is where do we go from here? I suppose I should consider myself lucky. Most of the younger generations operating in the antiques and collectibles trade never got to experience the trade before the development of the internet, and I consider that to be sad.

Life was truly different back then. People mattered.

Relationships mattered.

Today it is just numbers on a computer screen and impersonal bidding, and should you win that bid, a package comes in the mail with your item. It truly can be a very impersonal experience, to say the least. Is this really where we want the antiques and collectibles trade to be as we enter the year 2021?

Does it even matter? Maybe I am just starting to actually get old and this is what it sounds like when a 40-plus collector laments what the trade was like when we were young and what it has become. But one thing is for sure, there isn’t any going back now. So where do we go from here? In a word, forward!

In late December, I turned 44. I have been active in the antiques and collectibles trade since the age of 12. I still remember my first flea market, my first antique fair, and my first auction. In my teenage years, I was arguing that one day video games would become collectible. In the year 2020, many people in the trade will admit that I was right.

When eBay premiered back in late 1995 under the name of Auction Web (the name eBay came a little later), I was an early adopter of the platform. At that time, Beanie Babies and PEZ were king, and collectors were still learning how to navigate this new electronic frontier.

It was then that I began hearing about how the internet would fundamentally change the collectibles market forever. Within 10 years after the advent of eBay, most established and successful auction houses would make the transition to online bidding.

Today, Heritage Auctions is one of the largest players in the business, with multiple departments and recordbreaking sales. Other prominent auction houses are also online. Morphy Auctions, located out of Denver/Adamstown, Pa., has successfully made the leap to online bidding, as have international auction houses like Christie’s and Sotheby’s.

In my opinion, the internet was the first successful adoption of the antiques and collectibles trade by the casual collector. Before the rise of the internet, and more importantly e-commerce, collectors were

classes is the new norm. It is quite possible that some of you reading this already invest in gold bullion.

Younger generations are no longer attracted to gold.

Now they want crypto-currency and rare graded sports cards instead.

Along with these new developments we have new buzzwords in the antiques and collectibles trade. Graded collectibles are all the rage. What started out as a way to preserve coins back in the mid1980s has now expanded to everything from sports cards to collectible game cards such as “Pokemon” and “Magic: The Gathering,” to comic books, to toys and video games. Rest assured, if it can be easily encased in plastic, or even not so easily encased in plastic, third-party grading is coming soon to your favorite new collecting category.

Meanwhile, today’s buzzwords in the trade combine both collecting and investing. Alternate asset investing is the newest thing, which collectibles happen to be the driving force. Now we have financial advisors doing the unthinkable. Some are advising their high net worth clients that they should not have all their money tied up in financial assets and real estate. Many of these advisors are telling their clients to invest a portion of their assets in collectibles or even crypto-currency. Yet even more and more young people are risking their financial futures on collectibles and Bitcoin, refusing to place any money at all in the financial markets. In my opinion, this is just insane. You cannot put all your money in alternate asset investments, but you can put a portion of your assets in them with varying degrees of success over the short and long term.

Now the term “cultural assets” is the latest buzzword to hit the collecting scene. Social media influencers, certain auction houses, and companies designed to track the markets for today’s hottest collectibles are now promoting

dependent upon trade shows, flea markets, and in-person bidding if they wanted to buy and sell.

Today, all a collector has to do is log on.

Then, in 2005, the next big advancement in the antiques and collectibles trade occurred, and very few people noticed. It was around that time that an interesting concept was born. Anybody with a digital camera and internet access could start to record video and upload that video directly to the internet to be viewed by almost anyone.

The company that pioneered this technology was known as YouTube, and while at first glance YouTube is not known as a platform geared toward collectibles, in present day, a lot of collectors have started popular YouTube channels to bring attention to their treasured collectibles. This, in turn, has sparked certain collectible prices to rise and also spawned powerful social media influencers with millions of subscribers to take to the platform and announce their intentions to invest in certain collectibles.

Sports cards, “Pokemon” cards, and even comic books have not been immune to this trend. And whether you consider this a form of market manipulation or just the power of the internet, it occurs on an almost daily basis within the trade.

Today, we now have companies that exist solely to facilitate pricing data and asset trading in a lot of these popular collectible markets.

Wall Street, who is not immune from cashing in on collectible trends from the past (check out the disastrous effect of the Merrill Lynch Athena Fund in the late 1980s if you don’t believe me), has decided to warm up to collectible assets once again. Now nothing is immune. Today’s collectors who want to act like investors can even buy fractional shares of ownership in various high-end collectibles like million dollar paintings, rare “Pokemon” cards, or even key highgrade vintage comic books.

The Red Earthenware Manufactured In River Edge, New Jersey A Look At Bergen County Pottery Founded in 1902 by northern New Jersey men and women, the Bergen County Historical Society tells the county’s story as a whole, beginning with the area’s settlement in the 17th century and through the 1900s. Since 1939, the historical society has been based at historic New Bridge Landing in River Edge. The museum is the largest historical society in New Jersey, while also representing the most comprehensive collection of artifacts illustrating the history of Bergen County, the New Jersey Dutch and other groups who settled in the area.

Located across the Hudson River, about 16 miles north of Manhattan, and along the Hackensack River, River Edge was first settled by Europeans when Cornelius Matthew arrived, a Swedish immigrant who established the first settlement about 1683. In Colonial times, this area was known for its river crossings, farms and military activity that occurred during the American Revolution. Although, River Edge also sustained a prosperous red earthenware business in the 19th century, where some production can be misinterpreted for wares made in Pennsylvania today, some of which are owned by the Bergen

The red earthenware plate attributed to Henry Jacob Van Saun was discovered almost 20 years ago in a group lot at a small country auction in New Hampshire. The figure in the center of this plate depicts a bearded man and is related to the plates made in 1825 in celebration of Marquis de Lafayette’s grand tour of America and the 50th anniversary of the American Revolution.

County Historical Society.

River Edge Red Earthenware New York City was a hotspot for potters who shipped their production to the city’s docks in the 1800s; among the notable potters was a business established in River Edge by Henry Jacob Van Saun (d. 1829) about 1811, when he opened a brickyard and a pottery. Van Saun certainly produced all the traditional forms of utilitarian red earthenware, but his most significant wares may have been those manufactured around 1824-25, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the American Revolution and the return of Lafayette.

Beginning in September of 1824 through July 1825, Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834) made a tour of the 24 states in America, arriving at Staten Island on Aug. 15, 1824. He toured the northern and eastern states in the fall of that year, including Thomas Jefferson’s estate Monticello in Virginia, as well as visiting President James Monroe at the White House.

Nearly 50 years earlier, Lafayette, a French general, led troops under the command of Gen. George Washington in the American Revolution. And among those who celebrated Lafayette’s grand return were American potters; for instance, there were some slip-script red earthenware plates and platters manufactured, reading, “Lafayette,� such as examples that were produced in Norwalk, Conn., ca. 1824-25. Lafayette’s return was the talk of the nation, and there was a demand for novelty items capturing this historic event.

Van Saun decided to commemorate the event by manufacturing some plates with profiles in relief in the center, while Lafayette traveled through Bergan County. The few known examples include Lafayette, as well as Washington surrounded by 13 stars. These were likely manufactured for the local market, but some may have made their way into New York City in the mid-1820s, as well. The Bergen County Historical Society and the New York State Museum in Albany own the majority of the known examples today. But there must have been other styles also produced, seeing

A Hidden Treasure Awaits

This fascinating slip-decorated red earthenware plate is adorned in a highly unusual stylized slip design, utilizing dots and squiggled lines, covering the entire plate as a canvas.

Another extraordinary slip-decorated plate possibly made by Wolfkiel was recovered some years ago in Manhattan, where the remains show what appears to be a flower or some type of figure in the center, surrounded by a squiggled line around the exterior edge of the plate. This type of exterior slip design is found on some of Wolfkiel’s known production.

Another market that this production was likely shipped to was Newark, N.J., which saw a giant increase in its population growth from when Wolfkiel first arrived in the area in 1830, of nearly 11,000 people to almost 72,000 people in 1860. In fact, found in the collection of the Newark Museum of Art are some objects that are attributed to Wolfkiel, retaining histories of ownership in Bergan County. Those pieces include a

they probably sold all types of earthenware that was regularly shipped to New York City and the surrounding area in the 1800s. The style of the slipscript found on this advertising platter is similar to the platter owned by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, inscribed, “Hard Times in Jersey.”

The slip-decorated wares most identifiable to Wolkiel’s production are typically decorated with a distinctive curly “Y,” such as an example owned by the Staten Island Historical Society, retaining a history of local ownership, inscribed, “Lucy.” Another slip-script plate, manufactured with the same distinguishing curl, is in the collection of Winterthur Museum in Delaware, inscribed, “Mandy”; a group of related plates are also owned by the Bergen County Historical Society.

A notable object that may have been manufactured by Wolfkiel was recovered not long ago about nine miles west of River Edge in Paterson, N.J.

his art; among his first orders was a wedding gift for a bride at Ramsey (N.J.) in 1830, consisting of a set of cups and saucers.

One still in evidence shows they were greatly appreciated when she learned they were made of Bergen County native clay. This potter became well known, and his wares were carried by horse and wagon all over Bergen and Rockland counties and sold to “country stores” and to “private parties.”

Wolfkiel’s production combined a wide variety of slipware, often adorned with initials, names, dates, birds and abstract designs. The most famous of the wares he made is likely a slip-script platter in the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, Conn., reading, “Hard Times in Jersey.” Another significant object made by Wolfkiel is a dated slipware plate, “1848,” which is in the collection of the Bergen County Historical Society; the date may be related to Wolfkiel’s first full year of owning the old Van Saun Pottery. The historical society also owns a slip-decorated plate of significant interest that could be mistaken for wares made in Pennsylvania because of the style of the slip. But it is actually recorded as having been purchased brand new from the Wolfkiel Pottery in 1840 by A. Auryansen.

Although some of Wolfkiel’s production was sold locally and elsewhere in New Jersey, archaeology has also proven that he shipped production to New York City, based on artifacts recovered in Manhattan and Staten Island. For instance, a slip-script red earthenware platter was recently recovered from a brick-lined privy at 33 Van Duzer Street on Staten Island, where the context of the privy dates between 1835-45. A merchant probably used this object as a means of storefront advertising, seeing that it reads, “Earthen Ware Here.” However, it does not necessarily indicate the merchant was exclusively a retailer of local earthenware;

“We are off and running for the spring sale. Typically this is a quiet time of year, but people are reaching out to

consign,” said Tony Zipp. “We have 115 pieces from one collection in Long Island that were collected in the 1960s,” said Luke Zipp.

Lot 51: An Albany slip glazed stoneware face jug, signed “E. Galloway/Paducah. Ky.,” sold for $24,000. It was

by Ernest H. Galloway, Paducah, early 20th century, hand-modeled and applied clay face, including oval eyes set within sculpted lids. Surface of jug covered in a glossy, dark-brown Albany slip glaze with glaze omitted on the teeth and sgraffito carving to the eyes, nostrils, and interior of the ears.

The distinctive part in the figure’s hair is undoubtedly a means by which the jug’s artist is creating a sort of self-portrait. As seen in a period photo of Galloway, the potter had a prominent part down the center of his hair. This treatment can also be found on the few other surviving face vessels by this potter, visible on both African-American and Caucasian depictions.

Lot 2: The six-gallon stoneware churn

by Harrington & Burger in Rochester, N.Y., is decorated with a very rare and expertly slip trailed bird (pheasant) perched on a flower, which helped drive the price to $48,000.

The slip also appears like some of George Wolfkiel’s production, but I have not seen any evidence to prove Wolfkiel produced multi-colored slipware. he made, “…salt-glazed crocks decorated in blue with the American flag and his signature…”

In Retrospect It should be noted that Van Saun and Wolfkiel were not the only red earthenware potters employed in Bergen County in
