One More Sale Slated To Include Books And Manuscripts

By Karl Pass A two-day sale on behalf of the Clarke E. Hess estate was held on June 7 and 8 at Horst Auctioneers’ facility in Ephrata, Pa. This was the second of three catalog sales and a downturn in terms of the overall quality of material compared to the first auction, which took place April 26 and 27.

(For session one, see Antiques & Auction News, May 24, 2019, Vol. 50, No. 21 issue.) That first sale grossed $583,715.

Horst also sold a second property on behalf of the estate (originally part of the Hess farmstead) on June 20 for $391,000, also going to a young couple. That 5.9-acre property with a period stonehouse is situated near the Warwick-to-Ephrata rail trail.

Session two, 603 lots, grossed $234,645. So far, with the two parcels of real estate, the estate has totaled $1,751,360.

The second sale started with Indian artifacts, many being Susquehannock arrowheads and other relics. Hess bought much of it on eBay. A sandstone mortar and pestle sold for $45; a stone ax head, $75; and various lots of miscellaneous arrow heads for just $10 per group. Horst does not charge a buyer’s premium. Prices reported are hammer prices. A 10-percent service fee was charged to online buyers.

The estate-owned 2017 Ford LFP 727 Mustang GT, painted in what the motor company calls grabber blue, kicked off the excitement, selling for $39,600. The energy continued with a full in-house crowd, online and app buyers, as well as phone bidders. Bucks County craftsman George Nakashima’s walnut freeform coffee table had

international appeal, as a phone bidder from Germany sealed the deal at $19,200. The star of the fine jewelry portion was the GIA-certified 14-carat, 3.19ct solitaire ring set in white gold that sold for $22,800.

Finally, a unique 22-inch-high Chinese carved and signed table screen sold for $12,000.

The Collector’s Auction, one day prior, was equally dynamic. This sale had a number of highlights, such as a mahogany cellaret on stand, which sold for $10,800. The jewelry portion featured a gentleman’s 18-carat yellow gold Rolex wrist watch selling for $7,800. A pair of Queen Anne walnut side chairs went for $4,200. There was a fountain by the artist Gary Slater that sold for $3,300 and a stunning Chinese bullion-embroidered silk dragon robe that went for $2,700.

COLLECTOR CHATS WITH PETER S. SEIBERT This Week: Southwestern Jewelry, A Great Wearable Antique: Part One because this is the period when much of the turquoise used in the jewelry was hard stone coming from the mines.

Here we see the great jewelry that many collectors go after.

Sadly, by the late 1950s, many of the mines were worked out, and so the amount of great hard stone disappeared.

Jewelry in this period may or may not be marked, and good reference books on both stones and jewelry makers are invaluable.

The next period is the one where many of us begin our collections. This is the jewelry produced up through the 1980s. Here the works are almost always signed, so tracing a maker is relatively easy.

The challenge is that pieces with big stones are almost invariably made using reconstituted (adding resin to powdered turquoise), stabilized (adding resins to soft, unworkable stones to make them hard), or colored (adding dyes

What do “Star Wars,” “Jurassic Park,” “Batman,” and “The Shining” all have in common? All were inspired by the pulps.

The “pulps” generally refer to any fiction dealing with wild or sensational subject matter and printed on low quality wood pulp paper. This genre roughly dated to the first half of the 20th century with lasting influence in Hollywood and beyond.

PulpFest is a convention for fans of this genre of fiction and pop culture celebrating the many ways pulp fiction and pulp art has inspired creators old and new. “Children of the Pulps and Other Stories” is the topic of PulpFest 2019. There will be lectures on many specific and general subjects, such as Sherlock Holmes, Zorro, detective genre, science fiction, sword and sorcery, Rod Sterling’s “the Twilight Zone,” and more. Over 30 fiction writers will be present, and the 2019 FarmerCon program will celebrate the life and legacy of science fiction’s Philip José Farmer.

I have often written about the subject of southwestern jewelry, as I remain convinced that it is still one of the best collecting avenues for both new and experienced collectors. It is an area ripe with discoveries to be made, tastes to be explored, and good purchases to be found.

Here in the American West, there is a high demand for southwestern jewelry. Nearly every local family here has a cache of pieces, often having been handed down through the generations. However, the big buyers of southwestern jewelry here in the West are

step away from being the fake jewelry within the secondary market. The key is to spend time looking at different pieces, differentiate what you like and don’t, and, of course, be willing to make a mistake or two.

Native American jewelry can be broken into several different periods. There are, of course, the old items that predate the 1920s, which are incredibly rare and pricey. If you want to explore this area as a potential buyer, then I would say only deal with a reputable dealer and get fully written statements from them about what you have bought.

The jewelry in this period often has a strong emphasis upon the silver rather than the turquoise work. Why? Because the value of a piece was seen primarily in the metal, rather than the stone.

Then there are the jewelry items made from the 1920s to the 1960s. I break this out

the tourists; the folks who come here to visit and want to buy a piece of turquoise, a liquid silver necklace, or a fine piece of sandcasting.

The market for new southwestern jewelry is everywhere.

When we lived in New Mexico, even service stations would have a case of jewelry for sale.

The reality was, however, that most, if not all of that material, was fake. The silver was produced in Asia or Italy, and the stones were anything from plastic to resin-injected stabilized turquoise. Even some of the fanciest shops carried examples of faux work, albeit with jacked up prices to make one think he or she was getting a bargain.

The secret to buying is to look for jewelry on the secondary market. Now before you go off and start buying every piece you see, it’s important to note that the fake jewelry offered in the primary market is only a short

Painting By Canadian Artist Homer Watson Shines At Miller & Miller Auction

A Pequegnat “Black Grecian” shelf clock featuring fancy scroll work in the case surrounding the dial and on the base, and the early “pine cone” bezel sold for $3,540.

Clock Company, plus other fine offerings. The top-selling Pequegnat was a rare “Nelson” tall case clock, one of only a few known ($8,625).

The clock boasted a mahogany case, a beveled glass door and correct “twin dolphins” door key.

Another Pequegnat clock, this one a rare and vibrant “Black Grecian” shelf clock, featured fancy scroll work in the case surrounding the dial and had the early “pine cone” bezel. The clock, which brought $3,540, had been partially restored, with the case painted black with faux marble painted columns and plinths. The feet and bases retained their original finishes.

The Handel birds of paradise table lamps were two star lots, fetching $10,620 and $10,030. Both featured domical shades in “chipped” and “sand finished” glass and were decorated with two pairs each of exotic birds of paradise, one with blossoming peonies, the other blossoming branches. Both had striking colorful signed shades 17.75 inches in diameter.

The Watson (1855-1936) oil-on-canvas painting depicted a forest scene featuring a group of subjects gathered in a

clearing. The 24-by-18.5-inch work (sight) was housed in the original frame and signed “Homer Watson” in lower left.

The painting exhibited some craquelure (fine cracks to the surface), typical of Watson’s oil paintings.

“The auction overall went incredibly well,” said Ben Lennox of Miller & Miller. “It was a diverse offering covering a number of categories that can sometimes warrant their own dedicated sale. We were fortunate to attract outstanding consignments. Bidding was spirited on all fronts, with items being sold to the floor, on the phone, and via the three online platforms.”

“The majority of Pequegnat clocks fell within estimate, while a few blew past their high estimates.

Prices realized for fountain pens on Friday were quite strong. Strength in the market continues on the high and middle market. We’re elated to be able to continue bringing sought-after antiques and collectibles to market while pleasing our consignors and buyers alike,” added Lennox.

Cowan’s Sells Important Early Photography In American History Premier Auction Unique Joel Whitney Album Containing Photos Of Sioux Involved In 1862 Minnesota Uprising Fetches Astonishing $131,250 Cowan’s solidified itself among the market leaders in early photography, selling two important lots of 19th-century photography for a combined $212,500 in its American History: Premier Auction on June 21. An exceptional Joel Whitney album of Sioux involved in the 1862 Minnesota Uprising and an exceedingly rare photograph of fugitive slaves posed with abolitionists Levi Coffin and Jonathan Cable went for more than 10 times their estimates, selling for $131,250 and $81,250, respectively. Prices reported include a 25-percent buyer’s premium.

“Early photography is how it all started for Cowan’s, and this auction was really a celebration of our roots,” said Katie Horstman, Cowan’s director of American History.

“It’s easy to get hung up on the big prices for these two incredible lots, but we really saw great results across the entire category.”

The Joel Whitney album represented a truly unique piece of Minnesota history.

Whitney (1822-86) is considered Minnesota’s finest pioneer photographer but was mostly known for carte-devisite (CDV), or small format photography.

The photographs in the album, however, were a much larger format, with the largest measuring 7-by-9.25 inches.

What made the album unique, however, was the subject matter. While the album contained a handful of scenic photos, the bulk of the album consisted of Whitney’s famous studies of the Sioux Indians, many of whom were involved in the 1862 Sioux Uprising.

The new state of Minnesota was home to thousands of American Indians in 1862, many of whom were disenchanted with the government’s promise for annuities.

In August of that year, a number of Native Americans were starving; on the 18th, Indians at the Lower Agency attacked the white settlers there. Over the next few weeks, hundreds of settlers were killed, until the uprising was finally put down by federal troops.

Included in the album were a number of the Native American principals involved with the uprising. Cut Nose,

for one, was charged with the murder of 18 women and children and five men and admitted to the brutal murder of several settlers in response to the U.S. Army reneging on its treaty obligations. He was hanged with 37 others on Dec. 26, 1862.

Absentee bidding required the bidding to begin at $13,000, $3,000 above the lot’s low estimate. The six phone bidders vying for the lot were hardly phased. A frenzy of bidding quickly sent the lot past its maximum absentee bid of $30,000 with three phone bidders still actively involved. Only two phone bidders remained as the lot approached six figures, and at $105,000 the hammer finally fell, awarding the lot to a private collector. With the 25-percent buyer’s premium, the total price realized for the lot was $131,250.

It was especially appropriate for an important photograph of abolitionists Levi Coffin and Jonathan Cable to be offered in Cowan’s Cincinnati, Ohio, salesroom, as the city played a vital role in the men’s role in the Underground Railroad. Coffin and Cable collaborated on the “Escape of the 28” in 1853, one of the Unground Railroad’s most ambitious operations, which conveyed 28 enslaved men, women, and children from Boone County, Ky., safely north to Canada. Though the individuals shown in the photograph with Coffin and Cable cannot be definitively identified as members of the “Escape of the 28,” they likely benefited from Coffin and Cable’s involvement in abolitionist groups and the Underground Railroad.

There were several other standouts in the early photography category, though. A pair of Civil War CDVs of the famous, yet mysterious Frances Clayton went for well above estimate, selling for $13,750. The lot featured two photographs: one with Clayton in a dark dress with full sleeves and white cuff, the other showing her in a Union soldier’s uniform complete with Hardee hat and a foot officer’s sword. Other highlights included a Buffalo Bill Cody rare orotone portrait that sold for $10,000; an autographed CDV of Métis leader Louis Riel for $8,125; an unpublished autographed CDV

This exceptional William Henry Harrison 1840 “Great Harrison Barbecue” folk art campaign banner sold for $22,500.

One of 25 salt print photographs in the album by photographer Joel Whitney containing mostly large format photographs of Sioux involved in the 1862 Minnesota Uprising sold for $131,250 to a private collector.

A Civil War hand-drawn map of the “Siege of Suffolk, Virginia,” by Private William Gragg, 6th Massachusetts Infantry, with war-date correspondence, realized $8,125. of Robert E. Lee for $5,625; and an occupational half plate ambrotype of a photographer posed with his daguerreotype camera for $5,000.

Two lots of political ephemera achieved five-figure prices on the day. A banner carried in the procession of the “Great Harrison Barbecue” in Zanesville, Ohio, during William Henry Harrison’s successful campaign for president in 1840 sold for $22,500. The paint and ink-on-linen banner depicts an express rider during the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 announcing “Harrison has whipt the British & Indians.”

The second piece of ephemera was a significant Libertas Americana medal, a commemorative medal designed by Benjamin Franklin in honor of the American victory at Yorktown, which sold for $10,625.

The top archive of the day was the World War II archive of Russell E. Gackenbach, the navigator of Necessary Evil, one of the three strike planes that carried out the first

wartime use of an atomic bomb at Hiroshima. The archive included the only non-government photograph

of the mushroom cloud of Hiroshima that resides in private hands. The archive also included Gackenbach’s personal Agfa PB 20 Viking camera that he smuggled onboard the plane to take the photo.

Gackenbach managed to take two photos of this watershed moment of human history. The first was donated to the archives of Lehigh University, making this the only known image ever made available to collectors. The archive sold for $20,000.

Other highlights from the auction included a Confederate archive of Private James Monroe Geer, 1st South Carolina Regiment, rifles that

sold for $8,125; a Civil War hand-drawn map of the “Siege of Suffolk, Virginia,” by Private William Gragg, 6th Massachusetts Infantry, for $8,125; the Civil War archive of Captain William R. Hoel, USN Mississippi River Squadron, for $7,680; the Civil War diaries of Jared P. Hubbard, 2nd New Hampshire Volunteers, for $6,875; and the Van Lew Family Archive, including letters from Civil War spymaster Elizabeth Van Lew and slave-turned-spy Mary Bowser, for $6,250.

Fooled By Fakes

Smudged or blurry marks are typically signs of fakes or reproductions in many cases, but there’s an exception to this rule; Minton marks were occasionally blurred during the glazing phase, so if you see a nearly obliterated mark, you need to check the piece for further identification of authenticity.

The way newer pieces are crafted can also be a giveaway; old earthenware majolica was pressed into a mold by hand using thick pieces of clay, then the clay on the inside of the vase, pitcher or any other hollowware was smoothed. This either mostly or totally eliminated the outside pattern from showing on the inside of the vessel.

However, newer pieces have thinner walls because they’re slip cast and mass produced, so the molded pattern shows on the inside as well. In addition, newer pieces like pitchers that have handles, which

As early as the 13th century, majolica pottery was being shipped from Spain to Italy, where the earthenware pieces received a colorful tin glaze.

(The term “majolica” is derived from the shipping port Majorca through which it came.) It started being made in England in the 17th century, and in 1851, Herbert Minton introduced the public to ceramic majolica at London’s Great Exhibition, where the “new” look was very well received. (Originally, ceramic majolica was called “Palissy ware” to distinguish it from earthenware majolica, but soon all such styles were being referred to as “majolica.”)

Minton artists then began creating a number of different revival styles, including Renaissance, Naturalism, Gothic, Oriental and others in many different forms, whose uses ranged from the garden to the dinner table. Besides Minton, other makers of antique English majolica ranged from well-known companies like Josiah Wedgwood & Sons, who began producing majolica about a decade after Minton, to lesser-known makers such as Wm. Brownfield & Sons, and many of these smaller potteries did not mark their pieces like the betterknown potteries did. However, majolica pieces made by smaller companies have been identified through 19th century advertisements. While some pieces closely resembled the popular shapes and subjects of the larger potteries, others were quite creative and ranged from formal to whimsical.

Majolica remained popular in England until about the mid-1870s, which is about the same time that Americans discovered this colorful style through a Minton exhibit at the Philadelphia American Centennial in 1876, according to the Majolica International Society website. The society writes that by 1879, Americans’ table settings of simpler white or blue-and-white dishware gave way to the more vibrant and interesting majolica. The American company Griffen, Smith and Hall brought majolica to the forefront with styles resembling those of Wedgwood and Copeland before coming up with their own creative styles. Some of the other American companies making majolica in the 19th century included James Carr (Trenton and New York), George Morley (Ohio), Eureka (Trenton), and New Milford Pottery (Connecticut). By 1901, majolica was replaced by Art Nouveau styles.

This is a very consolidated history of majolica, but if you’re going to invest in any of these richly designed pieces, it’s important to know where, how, and what pieces were made by whom so you’re not fooled by lookalike pieces or fake backstamps.

Today, majolica is highly collectible, with some pieces selling in the tens of thousands of dollars each, making it a perfect target for fraudsters. Identifying reproduction pieces can sometimes get a bit tricky because there are some authorized repros on

the market. For example, for several years beginning in the 1990s, Minton issued reproduction teapots that were exact replicas of their Victorian majolica counterparts. To distinguish them from the originals, Minton clearly marked them underneath with the words “Fine China,” the number of teapots in the series, as well as each teapot’s individual number and the production year. The problem arises if any of this contemporary information has been removed or hidden, when buyers don’t know the various makers’ marks on antique pieces, or if the piece is bought online and can’t be returned.

The very first original cover art featuring Tintin, Hergé’s “The Adventures of Tintin Vol. 1: Tintin in the Land of the Soviets,” sold for $1,125,000 in Heritage Auctions’ European Comic Art Auction in Dallas, Texas. The total for the two-day sale, held June 8 and 9, climbed to $2,401,007.

“Tintin is a seminal character, who has been loved and admired for generations the world over,” said Joe Mannarino, a director of Comics and Comic Art at Heritage Auctions. “His popularity is as great now as it has ever been.”

Three separate bidders placed bids exceeding $1 million for the first cover illustration by Hergé, who is considered the star of European comics. The title character is shown carving a makeshift propeller for his plane from a tree trunk, under the watchful eye of his bandaged-but-attentive dog, Snowy.

All’s Fair: Remembering The 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair Smack Dab In The Middle: Design Trends Of The Mid-20th Century

By Donald-Brian Johnson “Meet me in St. Louis, Louis— Meet me at the fair!”

Mills & Sterling, 1904 That turn-of-the-20thcentury ditty is irresistible, as irresistible as the St. Louis World’s Fair itself was, for thousands of wide-eyed fairgoers in 1904. As irresistible as Judy Garland found the fair in the 1944 movie classic, “Meet Me in St. Louis.” And, as irresistible as the appeal, fair memories and memorabilia continue to hold strong today.

Sure, there have been United States-based World’s Fairs both before and after.

But the St. Louis World’s Fair displayed a myriad of modern wonders just as a new century began, offering up an unforgettable slice of Americana.

Officially known as the “Louisiana Purchase Exposition,” the fair was originally scheduled to open in 1903, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the U.S. acquisition (from France) of that vast expanse of land.

However, funding, land acquisition, and disagreements delayed the fair’s actual opening until April 30, 1904.

When opening day finally arrived, the St. Louis World’s Fair proved worth the wait.

From Washington, D.C., President Theodore Roosevelt telegraphed a signal that it was fair time. As the throngs poured in, flags waved, fountains cascaded, and John Philip Sousa’s band struck up

Fairgoers could bring all the fun of the event home with them, thanks to the “Universal Exposition Photo Book,” an This is a souvenir postcard from the “Corner Palace of Varied Industries,” est. official fair publication, est. $50-$75. $10-$15.

The likeness of President Thomas Jefferson, “Father of the Louisiana Purchase,” found its way onto many souvenirs, including this Staffordshire plate, 10 inches in diameter, est. $175-$200.

Dignitaries visiting the fair were given special badges. This one is a “Nebraska Day” ribbon, est. $100$125.

Engraved cranberry and crystal “flash glass” was a fair favorite. This pitcher is 5 inches high, est. $50-$75.

silversmiths. The “Palace of Transportation” gave the crowd plenty to gawk at, including the latest mode of transportation - the automobile. For those wondering what the Liberty Bell really looked like, there it was, on view in the Pennsylvania State Building. Also at the fair, the log cabin where Abraham Lincoln spent his early years.

The “Observation Wheel” (better known as the “Ferris Wheel”), which had taken its first spin at the Chicago Fair of 1893, and the 122-foot-wide “Great Floral Clock” were also on view.

The thrills continued unabated as fairgoers breathlessly strolled the “Pike” (1904’s equivalent of today’s “Midway”). Rides included “Shoot the Chutes” (for those who didn’t mind getting sopped in the pool at its base), but the Pike’s primary draws were its not-to-be-seen-anywhere-else attractions. Among them were the following: “From New York to the North Pole” was a simulated sea voyage to the Arctic, complete with sub-zero temps

These three German cobalt china pieces depict varied fair attractions. The Released in conjunction with the fair, tallest item, the tumbler is 5 inches high, est. $50-$75; the pitcher, est. an Austrian-made blue and gold china $75-$100; and covered sugar bowl, est. $50-$75. vase, with an illustration of one of the famed sights of St. Louis - Union Station.

and “warming beverages.”

“Hale’s Great Fire Exhibition” reenacted the destruction of a tall tenement house, complete with thrilling rescues.

The “Baby Incubator” was occupied not by baby chickens but by human babies (attended, fortunately, by actual nurses).

The “Hereafter” was a lurid tour through the afterlife, headlined by an encounter with “his Satanic Majesty” followed by a welcome escape to “the Gates of Paradise.”

The “Streets of Cairo” was where exotic dancer “Little The celluloid dresser box with fair Egypt” held sway (literally). image inset is 8 inches long, est.

For the by-now-famished, $175-$200. there were also plenty of new taste treats to experience, such as hot dogs, iced tea, peanut butter, cotton candy, Puffed Wheat, Dr. Pepper, and the ice cream cone.

The fair dwarfed its predecessors, taking up 1,275 acres.

The four expositions that came before it, even when combined, took up just over 1,300 acres. In the “Palace of Varied Industries,” attendees could view the works of every type of craftsman, from glassmakers to sculptors to

The decorative metal tray, with depiction of one of the fair’s most popular images, Festival Hall, is 3.5-by-5 inches, est. $50-$75. ruby/crystal “flash glass” items were a signature fair souvenir, offering the look of luxury at bargain prices.

Among the multitude of other fair memorabilia were clocks, spoons, pin boxes, steins, paperweights, dresser boxes, handpainted shells, pipes, hand mirrors, trays, letter openers, and stereopticon viewers, complete with fairthemed photo cards.

Why does the St. Louis World’s Fair continue to intrigue us? Well, in the word of one dazzled fair visitor, as quoted in the event’s daily bulletin, “a week at the Exposition is better than a year’s travel around the world!” Or, as that unforgettable Mills and

Sterling song put it, “Don’t tell me the lights are shining, anyplace but there!”

The Buyer’s Premium

By Mike Ivankovich Why are buyers willing to pay the auction company a “premium” of 10 to 28 percent over the final selling price of an item, just for the privilege of purchasing it? “Well, at least it’s not coming out of my money?” is the most common remark from many consignors (sellers). Well, that may not necessarily be true.

Where did the buyer’s premium originate? It started with the major New York City auction houses. In years past, auction houses raised their seller commissions whenever expenses started catching up with revenues.

However, ca. 1980, the big NYC auction houses realized that if they kept their current commission the same and passed the “commission” increase along to the buyer, it would give them an advantage in acquiring consignments.

Consider it this way.

Auction company “A” is charging a 25-percent commission, while auction company “B” is charging a 15-percent commission, while passing along a 10-percent buyer’s premium to the buyer. Who are sellers going to consign with? Of course the auction house with

the lowest commission. The auction company is still making basically the same amount, but the perception to the consignor is that they are paying a lower commission.

A reality of the auction business is that the bidders, hence the money, go to the auctioneer who has the best merchandise. And in order to compete for the best merchandise, more auctioneers

were forced to resort to the buyer’s premium. Some auctioneers tried to resist the buyer’s premium, and some buyers tried to boycott auction companies that adopted the “buyer’s penalty.” But, the boycotts failed, and the buyer’s premium remains as prevalent today as ever.

Why are buyers willing to pay the buyer’s premium? In my opinion, it’s because most buyers don’t perceive it to be an additional penalty or cost. Rather, they simply view it as part of the cost of the merchandise.

Consider it this way. If a

companies charge as much as 28 percent over the final purchase price for the right to purchase things at their auctions. Can the buyer’s premium go any higher? You can be certain it will continue to increase because auctioneers’ expenses will continue to increase. Will buyers pay a buyer’s premium of 35

percent, 50 percent, or more?

Stay tuned. Because it can never increase to 100 percent.

Can it?
