“Now Showing: An American Century At The Movies” Will Be On View At Lebanon Valley College

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2016 • VOL. 47, NO. 36

A Hissing Canada Goose

By Joseph W. Lincoln Soars To A Record $299,000 Decoys Unlimited Summer Auction Was Held July 22

“Now Showing: An American Century at the Movies” will run from Friday, Sept. 2, to Sunday, Oct. 16, at the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pa. Drawing from Dr. Stefan P. Kruszewski’s vast collection of vintage film posters, this exhibition seeks to examine the broad topics of war, race, gender, adventure, and romance as they are represented in individual films. “Now Showing” provides the viewer with a glimpse into not only how American culture shapes film, but how film embodies America.

“For the opening, we wanted to have something fun and dynamic for students,” said Dr. Barbara McNulty, director of the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery. There will be an “Academy Awards” for Best Makeup, Most Authentic Costume, Most Creative Costume, Most Humorous Costume, and Best Overall Costume. A red carpet will lead to the gallery and will include music from soundtracks of movies along with refreshments and popcorn.

than 650 lots come up for bid and grossed about $860,000.

“I was very pleased with the results of this sale, which did better in all areas than our summer 2015 sale, and it just confirmed what I’ve known for some time – that the market is super strong for decoys at all levels,” said Ted Harmon of Decoys Unlimited Inc.,

based in West Barnstable, Mass.

“Decoys selling for $1,000, $10,000, $75,000 and up are all in demand among collectors.”

Harmon said the top-tier birds – those selling for more than $10,000 – are the ones that have the easiest time attracting buyers. “The number of collectors is not dwindling; it’s on the rise,” he said, “and those at the high end, the people with the most money to spend, are eager to purchase what they like because they’re not just collectors, they’re This common tern decoy (circa 1870-90) by an unknown carver, pulled from the Skala rig and discovered in an attic on Long Island, sold for $25,875. business people making investments.”

About 300 people attended the auction in person (with some of those people free-flowing back and forth between the auction and the adjacent show), while another 600 or so registered to bid online, via Invaluable.com.

There were also an estimated combined 300 phone and absentee (or left) bidders. “I’m not kidding when I say this could have easily been a $2 million auction, if I’d had more high-end decoys to offer,” said Continued on page 2

It is believed the coins were among the most historically important coins to come to auction in more than 20 years.

“As the first coins produced inside the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, these two coins played an important role in the development of the United States’ monetary system,” said Greg Rohan, president of Heritage Auctions.

“Interest in these rarities extended well beyond the historical.

Both are in excellent condition for their age and type.”

This classic carving of a hissing Canada goose by the esteemed carver Joseph W. Lincoln (Hingham, Mass., 1859-1938) sold for a record $299,000.

A classic carving of a hissing Canada goose by the esteemed carver Joseph W. Lincoln (Hingham, Mass., 1859-1938) soared to a new record price of $299,000 at a Summer Decoy Auction held July 22

by Decoys Unlimited Inc. at the Cape Codder Resort and Hotel in Hyannis, Mass. The auction was held in conjunction with a show for decoy enthusiasts.

The hissing goose boasted superb, dry, original paint and was in impeccable condition, showing off Lincoln’s best painted feather detail. The serpentine neck terminated in an expertly crafted head. The $299,000 was the most ever paid for a Lincoln decoy at auction and the highest price paid for any decoy at auction so far in 2016. It was also easily the top achiever in the Decoys Unlimited Inc. auction that saw more The fine, early black-bellied Duxbury plover from the south shore of Massachusetts, made circa 1890-1910, solid carved with the original paint, sold for $8,050.

The concept was suggested by American patriot Thomas Paine and endorsed by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to President George Washington. The copper penny is about the size of today’s modern quarter.

The second penny was a 1792 Birch vent, supposedly engraved by Robert Birch, but never confirmed.

The coin is the finer of the two known surviving examples of this experimental design and sold for $517,000.

The two pennies were offered as part of a five-day public auction of rare coins and paper money conducted in Anaheim and also online.

Many collectible corkscrews are both great use and have also been experiencing a bull market.

Yet, many were never intended for serious use, some were impractical commercial failures, and others have had their day, too weak or fragile to deal with the modern day tighter cork.

The corkscrews that have stood the test of time and are still fun and practical to use all use leverage or provide some other form of mechanical advantage. The old “straight pull” corkscrew, screw it in and pull it out with the bottle held between the knees - just doesn’t cut it with today’s tighter corks, particularly those made of synthetic and composite material. These corks provide much better closure but make many old corkscrews redundant.

serious collectors, it is also a lovely item to use and display in a wine cellar. An example sold in the May auction for $3,770. It is considered a strong price for an example and was in good condition. Perille designed several other stylish

This signed French Perille L’Express with lion’s head, 1899 patent, sold for $3,770. corkscrews in this period, and many common Perille examples can be found in the $100 to $200 range.

A less commercially successful design can sometimes result in great rarity, and if the design is distinctive and supported by a patent, it can attract a strong price. This was the case with the prototype example, which was an 1863 U.S. patent of the renowned American maker Charles Chinnock. It was an imposing but impractical design that probably never went into production. The example in the May auction is one of only two or three known, and despite its uncertain origin and a broken screw, it sold for $12,300 to a collector of American patents.

Usually condition is paramount, but for the rarest pieces, which may never appear at public auction again, even an obvious flaw such as a broken screw can be overlooked by many collectors.

Another old piece that sold well was an English d i r e c t pressure corkscrew patented in 1867.

This rare variant of Charles H u l l ’ s “Presto” sold for $5,250. In V i c t o r i a n This Mr. Blue Nose times, this prohibition figural time-saving corkscrew sold for mechanism $425. was quite popular. Instead of rotating the handle by hand, a “speed worm” (steeply shaped to minimize friction) was driven directly into the cork with the vertical power converted to rotary power by a standing nut in the handle. To extract the cork, the nut was locked (by a button on the side of the shaft), and brute force was required to lift the cork.

Finally, some corkscrews were never intended to be used. They were decorative items intended for display in a bar. They are called “figurals” because the handle is typically shaped as a person, an animal or an inanimate object. These example are usually straightpulls, providing no leverage.

leveraging their size and market dominance. It should come as no surprise then that Amazon also offers entrepreneurs the ability to sell through its marketplace by a variety of different means.

One such service the site offers is called FBA, or Fulfillment By Amazon. This service allows a would-be seller to send items directly to Amazon’s own warehouse and allow Amazon to process and ship the items just as they would their own inventory.

The service has been criticized by some sellers as being far too expensive (fees can total almost 50 percent or more of the total sales price) but for items of a speculative nature that seem to increase in value over the short-term, the service has become every speculator’s dream. Amazon profits heavily by making money on both ends: first, when the item is released by the manufacturer and sold on its site and again when it is discontinued and third-party sellers resell

Recently, I decided to sell some factory sealed Lego sets of which I had multiples sitting in storage. Most of these sets were part of the Lego Star Wars theme and were all acquired during a clearance sale at a well-known discount retailer. I routinely look for these kinds of clearance events for any mass-produced collectibles that I can add to my own growing collections, and when the opportunity arises, I have no problem buying extra sets to stash away.

Due to the fact that I am currently house hunting in my hometown of Boyertown, Pa., I am also starting to sell off any duplicate items I have in storage or other items I no longer wish to move with me. Given the fact that most of the items I have duplicates of are all fairly newer collectibles consisting of factory sealed Lego sets and hard-to-find video games, I decided to return to my roots and get back into online selling. Since eBay has made multiple changes in

their marketplace I wanted to expand into other online marketplaces. One such market that I have yet to fully explore is selling on Amazon.com.

Unlike eBay, Amazon never started out in the collectibles marketplace. Coming into existence as part of the “dot com” explosion that saw the rise of e-commerce and the advent of online auctioneers like eBay, Amazon is an incredible success story.

Started as an online competitor to traditional brick and mortar based book and media retailers, Amazon never set out to enter the lucrative collectibles marketplace. Rather, their entry into the collectibles market was a byproduct of their dominance in online selling.

Ongoing readers of my articles already know my thoughts on speculation and the rise of mass-produced collectibles like Lego and Nintendo Amiibo. Ironically, one of the biggest benefactors of this kind of speculation is Amazon. Amazon has the benefit of offering large quantities of mass-produced items at the lowest price possible. This allows them to quickly and efficiently rotate inventory by

Speculators are urged to use extreme caution when entering any of these highly competitive secondary markets. Sometimes a fool and his money - well you know the rest!

With Amazon continually ordering and selling mass quantities of various collectibles held for so-called investment purposes, secondary sellers are now in constant competition to offer the lowest prices of their socalled collectible treasures.

Critics of this method of selling sometimes claim that Amazon favors listings that feature FBA as opposed to “do-it-yourself� sellers. To be fair, sellers cannot blame Amazon for wanting to push the sale of inventory that they have direct control of.

Ironically, long-term speculators fail to see how Amazon has single handedly changed

Fooled By Fakes Antique Delft Tiles

By Anita Stratos

appearing on the tiles and corner patterns in blue and white were designed so that when four or more tiles were put together, the patterns would continue from tile to tile, creating an additional pattern besides the central figure. A variety of central figures, sometimes with minimal corner patterns were also created from children playing and people working to Biblical scenes and military subjects. Originally, these tiles were used around fireplaces, on tiled stoves, on walls and sometimes covering entire rooms.

Copies of antique Delft tiles are being made today, especially those from the 17th century, and some of the pieces are pretty convincing if you’re not familiar with what the originals should look like. One type of forgery is a recreation of the old bird tiles - these merely have a bird painted on the tile with no corner patterns. It’s important to know whether the bird should be polychrome or blue. Forgers have either slipped up by making the bird the wrong color or they’re hoping buyers will think they’ve found an

century, some Dutch factories engaged in large-scale production of replica 17th and 18th century tiles. This was not done to deceive buyers, but some sellers of these tiles today are representing them as

being from the 17th and 18th centuries, sometimes due to innocent ignorance.

The quality of the artwork painted on the tiles can give more clues to authenticity. The representation of a bird in a later copy, for example, may have differences in style from that on the original. For this reason, it’s important to have a reference book that shows how a series of similar tiles were painted.

Also, the colors or color tones/shades used on newer tiles may be different than those used on authentic antiques, and original

All photos belong to the author.

At A Glance: 1. Incorrect color/s.

2. Nail holes in the wrong places.

3. Wrong number of nail holes.

4. Lumpy glaze.

5. Deliberate edge damage.

Reference books, websites and collecting groups are the best ways to keep from being fooled by fakes.

By now you’ve probably heard the incredible story of the demolition crew in England that discovered a wall of original old Delft tiles that had been bricked up behind a fireplace in the mansion of Victorian landscape artist Arthur Bell. One of the workers noticed something behind the brick wall and stopped the demolition in time to save over 200 well-preserved, rare Delft tiles, some in blue and white and others in polychrome. The tiles are estimated to bring over $70,000 at auction (conversion rate pre-Brexit).

Most of us will never be so lucky as to unearth such a treasure trove - instead we’d be happy to find even one original antique Delft tile for a reasonable price at auction or through a dealer. Early Delft tiles made in the Netherlands in the first half of the 1600s were earthenware with polychrome or blue and white designs, featuring a main character, such as an animal or person’s portrait, within a square or circle and surrounded by a pattern. As time went on, flowers and fruits began

unknown piece. Some of the original old tiles have four holes for nails, but the newer tiles may have these holes too close to the center of the tile. In addition, the old tiles typically had two or three nail holes, whereas some of the new copies have four nail holes.

Tile thickness is another factor with some fakes. Original Delft tiles are earthenware, whereas some of the new copies are made of cement or have a cement or lime mortar layer. These new cement tiles can be thicker than the earthenware tiles, measuring more than 1.5 cm.

You may find some early tiles made of finer materials like porcelain with hand-painted images - these are not Delft, they’re Dutch-inspired tiles created in Europe and certainly collectible as well. Some scammers are adding color to authentic 17th century blue and white tiles because the colored tiles will bring more money. On the other hand, some plain white 18th century tiles have had scenes, such as ships or Bible stories, added to them in recent years to increase their value.

In the late 19th and early 20th

tiles were hand painted, never screen printed or done with transfer. Since the tiles were hand painted, each one is different - although the subject matter and style may be the same on many tiles, hand painting creates minor differences so no two are exactly identical. Finding two or more “carbon copies” of a tile indicates that they were not hand painted in full or in part. The glaze quality can also be a giveaway - some reproduction tiles have been seen with a lumpy glaze.

When buying tiles online, make sure the seller shows a good picture of the back of the tile as well as the front. A listing that only shows the front could be deliberately hiding the back, which may have a modern maker’s signature or the impressed mark of a contemporary factory. The word “Delfts” with the added “s” is a sign of a reproduction. Typically an authentic antique tile will have mortar either partially or fully covering the back.

The history of Delft tiles, also called Dutch tiles, is as fascinating as the patterns and images painted on them. Understand its history, influences, style, size, materials and colors used can help you avoid some types of fakes.

The Met continues to be a popular destination for local visitors: 29 percent of the museum’s visitors to The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters in FY16 came from the five boroughs of New York City, while 40 percent were from both New York City and the tri-state area. The museum also continues to be New York’s most visited tourist attraction for domestic as well as international audiences; in FY16, international visitors from around 190 countries visited The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters, accounting for 41 percent of visitors.

Exhibitions Once again, exhibition attendance at The Met was strong over the course of the year. Twenty-one of the exhibitions on view at The Met Fifth Avenue in FY16 were visited by more than 100,000 visitors each, including “Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends” (254,750); “Artistic Furniture of the Gilded Age” (210,903); “Ancient Egypt Transformed: The Middle Kingdom” (187,030); “Vigée Le Brun: Woman Artist in Revolutionary France” (165,220); “Pergamon and the Hellenistic Kingdoms of the Ancient World” (which closed on July 17 with a total of 185,266); and “Kongo: Power and Majesty” (141,376).

Over half of the exhibitions that received more than 100,000 visitors were based

on works of art from The Met’s own collection, among them: “Masterpieces of Chinese Painting from The Met Collection” (247,833 visitors to date; on view through Oct. 11); “Grand Illusions: Staged Photography from The Met Collection” (147,313); “Reconstructions: Recent Photographs and Video from The Met Collection” (141,075); “Discovering Japanese Art: American Collectors and The Met” (140,697); “A Passion for Jade: The Heber Bishop Collection” (133,572); and “The Luxury of Time: European Clocks and Watches” (126,787).

Also contributing to the high attendance in FY16 were the final weeks of last summer’s popular exhibitions “The Roof Garden Commission: Pierre Huyghe (which closed Nov. 1, 2015, and drew 483,208 visitors) and “China: Through the Looking Glass” (which closed Sept. 7, 2015, and attracted 815,992 people).

Education and Public Programs The Met continued to present its broad range of live arts, educational, and public programming throughout the year for visitors of all ages and interests, from novices to experts, including students, teachers, families, artists, visitors with disabilities, scholars, and others from around the world. In FY16, The Met engaged 220,796 students and teachers in 6,325 school group visits and multisession school experiences.

Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, recently announced that the museum welcomed a record number of visitors - 6.7 million - during the fiscal year that ended on June 30. This is the highest number of visitors since The Met began tracking admission statistics more than 40 years ago. The total includes attendance at all three of the museum’s locations - The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Cloisters, and the new Met Breuer, which was launched in March to present modern and contemporary art-themed programming.

Visitorship to The Met has now exceeded six million for the fifth consecutive year. The FY16 number was 400,000 higher than that of the previous year, due to an increase of approximately 200,000 visitors at The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters combined and attendance of 185,000 during the inaugural four months at The Met Breuer.

“We are thrilled that the public continues to respond so enthusiastically to The Met’s exhibitions, collections, and programs. Our audiences are local, national, and international, reflecting the depth and breadth of the extraordinary works of art in our galleries. We are delighted that our visitors have also embraced our expanded programming at The Met Breuer as an integral part of The Met experience. And they continue to take advantage of the

Clars Auction Gallery’s July 16 and 17 sale of Fine Art, Decorative Art Furniture, Jewelry/Timepieces and Asian Art saw particular excitement when a rare painting by American tromp l’oell artist William McCloskey (1859-1941) came up for bid. The oil-oncanvas titled “Wrapped in Lemons on a Tabletop” (1888) outperformed it $70,000 to $100,000 estimate. In the end, the painting achieved an impressive $216,000, making it the highest price for the artist in over five years and the seventh highest overall out of only 25 that have sold at auction.

“There are approximately 100 known works by McCloskey, and perhaps even fewer exist of his most desired and collectible subject matter - still lifes of citrus fruit wrapped in tissue paper,” said Rick Unruh, vice president and director of Fine Art at Clars. “Having this painting featured as the highlight of our July auction proved to be a very good decision when most of the major auction houses close down for the summer months until September. Dealers and collectors are most definitely looking for fine art gems such as t h e McCloskey painting during these months.”

Litchfield County Auctions’ (LCA) July 20 and 21 auction of fine and decorative art and jewelry from the estate of Joan Rivers totaled approximately $350,000, exceeding the total pre-sale estimate of $200,000 to $300,000.

Rivers’ fans and admirers who purchased items from the late entertainer’s estate auction relied heavily on internet bidding.

While the live two-day estate auction at LCA’s gallery was well attended, the majority of the more than 650 lots offered was bought by bidders placing absentee or internet bids through LiveAuctioneers.com. Day one had a 64 percent sell-through rate through LiveAuctioneers, while on day two, 58 percent of the lots were won via the online-bidding platform.

All of the auction goods were personally owned by Joan Rivers and were from either her Connecticut country estate or New York apartment. Some were family heirlooms.

As Christie’s highly successful June auction of fine and decorative art from Rivers’ Manhattan apartment revealed, the multi-talented comedian, businesswoman and designer appreciated quality and consistently bought the best of every category. While many pieces in Christie’s New York auction sold for prices beyond the reach of the average person, Litchfield County Auctions’ sale gave

The Foundation for Appraisal Education was originally formed as the ISA Education Foundation under Illinois law and was granted nonprofit status in 2003. In 2008, the name was changed to the Foundation for Appraisal Education (it has no affiliation with the similarly named Appraisal Foundation, a Congressionally authorized not-for-profit that also services the appraisal industry).

The FAE began awarding scholarships in 2004 and today presents scholarships of $1,000 each to one new and one experienced appraiser, plus $1,000 to one selected

candidate for the Rago Auctions Scholarship in 20th Century Design. Grants for group educational opportunities, such as underwriting educational speakers for the ISA annual conference, are also awarded by the FAE. The FAE also publishes the Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies, launched in spring 2008 and written specifically for personal property appraisers and those who utilize appraisal services. The Journal is a compilation of research articles, integrative reviews and topical discussions of professional appraisal issues covering a wide variety of perspectives, theories and approaches.

To fund these programs, the FAE accepts memorials and gifts from groups and individuals, as well as corporate donations and sponsorships. The group is headquartered at 201 W. Lake St. (Ste. 214) in Chicago, Ill. To learn more, visit www.foundationfor appraisaleducation.org.
