This Johannes Spitler paint-decorated chest sold at a Hurley online-only auction for $40,962.50. The buyer, Rod Graves of Luray, Va., intends to have the chest restored (it is missing one rear foot) and to display it in the Luray Valley Museum. An old, relatively unknown collection surfaced at Hurley Auctions, of Greencastle, Pa., which belonged to the late Chester Wayne Miller of Boonsboro, Md. Hurley held multiple sales to settle the estate, given the enmorous quantity of things. The fifth and final one was an onlineonly auction, which ended Jan. 19, encompassing extensive Civil War and other militaria material. The star of the final sale was undoubtedly a rare Johannes Spitler paint-decorated blanket chest with stylized birds and floral
designs. Bidders traveled from near and far to view this rarity (discovered in Miller’s mobile home), which closed at a final selling price of $40,962.50. The buyer, Rod Graves of Luray, Va., intends to have the chest restored (it is missing one rear foot) and plans to display it in the Luray Valley Museum. The museum’s mission is to chronicle the history of the Shenandoah Valley and is located at Luray Caverns, which hosts half a million visitors yearly. Continued on page 6
