The Chillingworth Auction

By Andrew Richmond Timing is everything in the auction business.

For the three-day auction of the lifetime collection and shop inventory of Peter Chillingworth of Scenery Hill, Pa., timing was imperative—about 30 minutes after the last lot was sold, a wind shear took down the tent. Auctioneer Amelia Jeffers expressed gratitude that it happened after the auction, but based on the enthusiastic crowd and solid sale results, a collapsed tent might not have affected the auction much. The 1,300-plus lot sale was on Oct. 18, 19, and 20.

Having been a dealer and show promoter for more than half a cen- This Western Pennsylvania vine-inlaid slant-front desk, tury, Peter Chillingworth estimated at $8,000-$12,000, realized $12,075. is a name that most folks in the antiques business know well.

A William Coventry Wall (Pennsylvania, 1810-86) oil-on-canvas landscape estimated at $15,000-$25,000 realized $9,775.

Likewise, having spent nearly a quarter-century at Garth’s Auctions, Amelia Jeffers is also a known entitity. The two became friends years ago when Amelia was new to Garth’s (Peter had been bidding there so long his paddle number was 2). It is not surprising that when Peter and his wife, Kathryn (“Cappy”), decided it was time to sell, they called their friend Amelia.

In some ways, the collection was very traditional, “old school” even, lots of formal furniture in walnut and cherry, almost all Pennsylvania, along with brass candlesticks and a healthy dose of English ceramics and colorless glass. There was very little paint. True, there was a solid collection of regional material, but many of the categories are those that are perhaps struggling most in today’s market.

There was also volume to consider. In addition to the Chillingworths’ private collection, there was a very full antique shop, a wellstocked furniture workshop, and a barn.

Fortunately, Chillingworth is a realist, and Jeffers A William Gorgas tall clock, is a problem-solver. They elected to hold the Westmoreland County, Pa., early auction on-site and let the bidders come to 19th century, walnut with inlaid them. Of course, Jeffers didn’t want to rely vines, went for $13,800 against entirely on an in-person crowd, after all, fall in an estimate of $6,000-$8,000.

Historian And Cookbook Author William Woys Weaver To Speak In Ryder Hall At LancasterHistory.org On Dec. 13 On Thursday, Dec. 13, the public is invited to join LancasterHistory.org for a December Regional History Colloquium presentation by Dr. William Woys Weaver titled “As American As Shoofly Pie: The Foodlore and Fakelore of Pennsylvania Dutch Cuisine.”

Food historian William Woys Weaver will u n m a s k Pennsylvania Dutch tourist culture while rediscovering the foods of Lancaster County’s ancestors.

When visitors travel to Pennsylvania Dutch Country, they are encouraged to consume the local culture by way of “regional specialties” such as cream-filled whoopie pies and deep-fried fritters of every variety. Yet many of the dishes and confections visitors

have come to expect from the region did not emerge from Pennsylvania Dutch culture but from expectations fabricated by local-color novels or the tourist industry. At the same time, other less celebrated (and rather more delicious) dishes, such as sauerkraut and stuffed pork stomach, have b e e n enjoyed in Pennsylvania Dutch homes across various localities and economic strata for decades.

Food historian and cookbook author William Woys Weaver delves deeply into the history of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine to sort fact from fiction in the foodlore of this culture. Through interviews

Western Pennsylvania can get chilly and wet, so she selected about 550 lots to catalog and offer online bidding via the Invaluable platform. She then partnered with Frio and Stack Auction Service (Wheeling, W.Va.), called in a few friends, and got to work.

The sale quickly grew from two days to three. Day one was the contents of the furniture making and repair shop, as well as a sizeable quantity of furniture-grade lumber. Day

two consisted of uncatalogued antiques and art, and day three was fully catalogued on Invaluable.

Jeffers reports that day one had a strong crowd and that they “cleared out a lot of volume” that included more than 250 planes by identified makers. Some of the planes sold for under $20, but some of the rare examples brought more than $400. The crowd came back for day two and was rewarded with some nice surprises that Chillingworth Brass candlesticks are a tough market had turned up (read, pulled these days.

In general, furniture sold reasonably well, given the current market for formal furniture.

There were, of course, a few exceptional examples of Western Pennsylvania furniture that drew significant interest.

Another local star was a tall case clock by William Gorgas of Westmoreland County, also with vine inlay, selling for $13,800, more than double its low estimate.

Regional items were not limited to furniture. New Geneva, Pa., was a center for pottery and glass production in the 19th century.

Jeffers said that this pitcher had been a gift to the Chillingworths by Ohio dealer Charles Momchilov.

with contemporary Pennsylvania Dutch cooks and extensive research into cookbooks and archives, “As American as Shoofly Pie” will offer a comprehensive and counter-intuitive cultural history of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, its roots and regional characteristics, its communities and class divisions, and, above all, its evolution into a uniquely American style of cookery. Weaver traces the origins of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine as far back as the first German settlements in America and follows them forward as New Dutch Cuisine continues to evolve and respond to contemporary food concerns. He presents a rich and diverse portrait of a living culinary practice, widely varied among different religious sects and localized communities, rich and poor, rural and urban, that complicates common notions of

it to a colleague who is getting married shortly. We talked about how it could be displayed during the holidays and passed on in their family.

What a classy thing to do with a great discovery!

So in this season of giving, I do encourage you to think about antiques as a great option for gift giving to start a new collector down the path.

R025167

It’s that time of year when we are all thinking about gift giving. As regular readers know, I am a huge fan of engaging new collectors by starting them with things to collect. Right now, it seems as though collecting anything is passé; it is all about the experience. Okay, I can understand that, but I also think that there is still plenty of room here for folks who want to collect antiques.

So here are some suggestions for blossoming collectors who might be looking for something that is of quality, fun and affordable.

1) Civil War. When I was a boy, collecting Civil War memorabilia of any kind was just too expensive. I recall seeing simple photographs bringing $100 or $150. While really rare items are still priced high, many of the old-time Civil War collectors have moved on, and so objects and prices are really affordable. My suggestion is for a new collector to purchase perhaps an original photograph (carte de visite size) of a soldier. They can be purchased

Georgian set of sugar tongs for $50 and a set of continental knives for $100.

3) Tin. For years, I have advocated that the quickest and most fun collection you can assemble is of tin items.

There are so many options, from handmade tin ware to commercially produced store items. This is an area where great discoveries can be made, and the pricing is still at the bargain level. Get a copy of Jeanette Lasansky’s “To Cut Piece and Solder” and have fun.

Finally, I relate a wonderful tale of gift giving. A friend and colleague at Colonial Williamsburg discovered a very nice Ohio Jacquard coverlet in a thrift shop. She could have kept it but decided to gift

on eBay, if you are patient, for under $30 and are a great start to collecting one of the most important events in American history, perfect for a young collector.

2) Sterling. I always hesitate to suggest collecting sterling silver because in many markets, particularly in the South, it is very expensive.

Despite the advent of casual dining and the dishwasher, there are still many young women who want a flatware service as part of their wedding trousseau. That being said, I continue to find really great bargains in silver serving pieces and related items that can make holiday gift giving and entertaining that much more fun.

Toys Become A Staple At Bodnar’s Auction In the past few years, Bodnar’s Auctions in Edison, N.J., has grown in size and quality of offerings. Nowhere else is this as apparent as in its toy department. The category has grown from just a few tables of material each sale to over 20 tables full of quality comic books and toys such as Transformers in the original box and vintage G.I. Joe figures taking up row after row in the salesroom. These toy sales span generations and types of toys. Each one can consist of early tin type and wind-up toys, the first few original Barbies and accessories, the Barbie dream home from the 1970s, preWWII trains all the way up to the newest trains just released, pop-culture toys sealed in the original packaging, original movie posters, and newer toys such as Furbies and Pokemon.

Bodnar’s Auctions specializes in bringing entire collections to the open market.

They have held several notable auctions this past year. In May, a single-owner collection of gaming items was sold. It included almost every computer, system, controller, and game ever

produced for gaming. The bidding was strong (both inhouse and online). An Atari Jaguar system with sealed controllers and a group of games sold for $775. An APF Imagination Machine, made in 1979 to combat Atari, brought $700. An Atari Falcon with 14 megabyte ram brought $750, and a Vectrex arcade system

with games sold for $600.

From a large comic and pop-culture collection came many full runs of comics, including a complete run of Vampirella that was bid up to $950. There were many early comics as well that saw lively bidding. For instance, a nice copy of Superboy #68 sold for $1,400, Action Comics #242

brought $950, and a copy of the NY World’s Fair Comics 1940 issue was highly sought after selling for $1,500.

Batman #55 brought $1,100, and Batman #121 and #73 both realized $1,400 each.

Among other notable sales in the recent past was a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 that sold for $17,250. Hulk #181 realized $4,800, a giant size X-Men #1

brought $600, and Spiderman #129 sold for $800. A signed “Star Wars” trilogy movie poster sold for $2,000; a Marvel Comics Green Goblin original in package brought $350; a Fantastic Four Human Torch original in the box, $350; a Fantastic Four Thing original in the box, $250; and an original “Star Wars” Luke in Jedi outfit mint on the card sold for $350.

Bodnar’s Auctions holds auctions once a month at the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center at 97 Sunfield Ave. in Edison. They are always on a Thursday. Doors on sale day open at 9 a.m., and the sale begins at 11 a.m.

For dates and additional information, readers may call 732-951-2100 or visit www.bodnarsauction.com.

Christmas Candlelight Tours To Explore The Role Of Printing Experience the 1719 Herr House and Museum grounds in Lancaster County, Pa., by candlelight during Christmas Candlelight Tours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Dec. 6, 7, and 8. This year, the tours will focus on the written word, and especially how it was printed.

As they move from site-tosite on the grounds, guests will learn how the printing press and production of books impacted cultural and religious life from the 1400s to the present. Examples of print material from the 1500s onward will be on display, including a 1529 Froschauer Bible that is part of the museum’s collection.

Gutenberg’s invention of moveable type that allowed for mass production of print material paved the way for the Reformation in the 1500s.

The ideas of early Anabaptists spread with the help of the printing press, establishing a faith community that would eventually be transplanted to Pennsylvania in the early 1700s. Here, Anabaptists

continued to produce Bibles, hymnals, and other religious works that many families treasured enough to preserve and pass down for centuries.

In the Native American Longhouse, guests will learn about the topic of printed language as it relates to American Indians in the Lancaster area. Presenters will cover topics including the petroglyphs along the Susquehanna River and attempts by local Europeans to transcribe Native words, which survive today in Lancaster as names of rivers and towns.

Tours conclude with a gathering in the stube, the main room of the Herr House, heated by the wood-fired stove and lit by candles, with the Christmas story from Luke 2 read in German.

Tickets for this event are on sale on the Herr House website at www.hansherr.org or by phone at 717-464-4438.

Tickets, which reserve a specific evening and time, must be purchased in advance to attend. The candlelight tours

will run from 6 to 8 p.m. on Dec. 6 and 7 and from 5 to 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 8.

The Hans Herr House, also known as the Christian Herr House, is located at 1849 Hans Herr Drive, Willow Street, Pa. Christmas Candlelight Tours is part of over 40 Lancaster Roots 2018 events.

Lancaster Roots combines the events of the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society and the 1719 Herr House and Museum. Through public presentations, food, music, field trips, and classes, these events reveal Lancaster and its people: their stories, culture, and history.

Antique Toy Auction Set For Dec. 7 And 8 At Pook & Pook Inc. With Noel Barrett

John Franklin. The ship’s disappearance was one of the great mysteries of the 19th century. The scene depicted is of Franklin’s ship trapped on an iceberg, with his doomed sailors endlessly pursued by fur-covered polar bears. Not only a fascinating machine, it is an excellent example of the inventiveness and expertise of 19th-century toy makers.

Early American toys include several Ives clockwork pieces, the rarest being the “Boy with Mallet,” one of only three or so known (est. $8,000-$12,000). Other clockwork pieces include a nearmint example of a three-man bicycle race from a French manufacturer. An assortment of European and American tin windups helps round out day two, a number of which feature comic characters. Also from the realm of comic characters is a surprisingly

complete and apparently unplayed with set of Madam Alexander marionettes featuring the full cast of Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” all retaining their colorful Disney decorated boxes.

Along with the famous seven are Snow White, the vain Queen, the witch, the Prince, and the Huntsman.

Other items of note include more than 50 fire fighting toys from a single-owner collection. These toys are primarily tin and include American, French, German, and Japanese examples. A large brass and copper model of a 19th-century fire pumper is perhaps the most visually impressive object in this assortment. The fire toys are joined by a grouping of cast-iron toys, including a matched trio of Carpenter fire toys, complete with pumper, ladder wagon and fire patrol, and a diverse collection of Ives animated cap guns in excellent

With the fall auction season well underway, Christmas is just around the corner. We know that Santa is on his way, loading lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. Do you have antique toys on your shopping list? Pook & Pook is hosting yet another Antique Toy Auction with Noel Barrett, and good boys and girls of all ages are welcome to attend. The two-day sale will be held on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 7 and 8. Hundreds of rare, extraordinary toys will cross the auction block, with a chance to grab something for every collector on your list this year.

The first day will feature dolls, miniatures, room boxes, soft toys, advertising and related materials. The second day will focus on trains, clockwork toys, steam toys, and more. Of great benefit to the sale are two exceptional collections, the first being an expansive group of steam toys, and the second being a colorful and assorted collection of fire fighting toys.

The auction’s steam toys are the result of the lifelong passion of Morton A. Hirschberg, former president of the Antique Toy Collectors of America and author of “Steam Toys: A Symphony in Motion” (Schiffer, 1996).

Steam toys, often referred to as steam engine accessory toys, are designed to be operated by drive wheels attached to stationary steam engines but can also be operated by hand.

The variety in Hirschberg’s collection is astounding, including wind and lumber mills, lighthouses and other forms of machinery.

The majority of the collection presents people in action, such as carpenters, coal miners, tailors, blacksmiths, butchers and bakers hard at work while others play, riding bikes, running a relay race, twirling on skates in an ice rink, and riding an array of amusement park rides. A number of the toys illustrated in Hirschberg’s book will be included in the sale, hitting the open market for the first time in decades. Hirschberg also enjoyed a smaller collection of folk art trade signs, adding charm and diversity to this sale. All told, over 200 lots of Hirschberg’s steam toys will be sold, with the remainder of his items slated to cross the block in spring 2019.

Another signle-owner consignment includes an example

of what is considered the rarest and most sought-after 19th-century board game, the McLoughlin Brothers masterpiece “Bulls and Bears - The Great Wall Street Game.”

Patented in 1883, the colorful game board features portraits of three major players from stock market shenanigans of the 1870s, Jay Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Horace Greeley. The artwork, executed by famed political cartoonist Frederick Opper, includes a clever cautionary vignette in which a bull and a bear join forces in “fleecing” a sheep.

The game retains its vibrant lithograph box lid, the original folding board, play money and purchase contracts, as well as the original instruction booklet. It will be estimated at $10,000-$15,000.

Another example of this game was sold at auction in 1992 for $30,000 and became a highlight of the New York Historical Society’s Liman collection, having been donated in 2000 by Ellen Liman. “Bulls and Bears” would make an excellent conversation piece for those who work in finance, perhaps displayed in their office for clients and colleagues to admire.

An assortment of other good early board games will also cross the block, including a Bliss “Game of the Wild West” (est. $1,200$1,600) and a McLoughlin Bros.

“Game of the Visit of Santa Claus” (est. $1,000-$1,500).

Another interesting item of note is an amazing handmade wooden model of “The Flying Dutchman Pullman Parlor Car,” exhibiting an exquisite level of detail in both the finely painted exterior and the intricately executed furnishings, visible through the glazed windows. The lushly carpeted and wall-papered interior is fitted with velvetupholstered swivel chairs, spittoons, and a convenient lavatory, all more easily seen when the roof is removed.

While the Pullman Company is most noted for their sleeper cars, they also produced parlor cars from the 1880s into the post World War II period.

“The Flying Dutchman” was among their first and likely their most lavish example.

Records Set, $1.4 Million Reached At Cowan’s Americana Sale

Made of cherry with walnut and poplar as secondary woods, this inlaid Kentucky desk-and-bookcase realized $36,000. Kentucky pieces continue to shine at Cowan’s. The catalog listing detailing the history for this piece is a fantastic read.

Made of green leaded glass, this Tiffany Studios hanging shade in the Greek Key pattern was 22 inches in diameter and sold for $22,140.

The rifle sold with a traditional Scottish flattened ornamental powder horn, approximately 11 inches in length, decorated with silver fittings cast and chased with Scottish thistles at the spout, midpoint and butt. The butt originally inset with a faceted glass cairngorm (present but loose and chipped). The horn sported a small silver plaque engraved, “Presented to J.J. Audubon. By Natural History Society, Edinburg, 1827.”

Couple this provenance with the emotional mystique that goes with the assumption that this, Audubon’s favorite “Long Tom” fowler, most likely felled many of the specimens Audubon then studied and probably used as reference to create his iconic masterpiece, “The Birds of America.”

“We knew Audubon’s fowling rifle would do well,” said Cowan, referring to the lot’s $192,000 (est. $60,000/$90,000) selling price, noting, “And the rifle has gone

back into a private collection.”

The Audubon fowling piece came to Cowan’s from a private collection as well. Two other guns that are known to have once been owned by Audubon also exist; however, both are in institutions: a shotgun resides in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and a muzzle-loading percussion-cap shotgun is held in special collections at the Princeton University Library.

A bid of $108,000 (est. $50,000/$70,000) was needed to win the first portrait of Henry Clay (1777-1852), an oilon-board by Matthew Harris Jouett (American, Kentucky, 1788-1827). Often touted as “the best known early portrait of Henry Clay,” Jouett painted this work in 1818 after having studied with artist Gilbert Stuart in Boston, Mass.

This Jouett work is considered the “canonical early image” of Clay, with the image being so popular the artist

This first portrait of statesman Henry Clay (1777-1852) sold for $108,000.

When four lots surpass the six figure mark, it’s surely a banner day. Cowan’s Auctions did just that on Oct. 6 during its Americana, Including Fine and Decorative Art, Premier Auction when a fowling rifle owned by John James Audubon, two Andrew Clemens sand bottles, and the first portrait of Henry Clay (1777-1852) by famed Kentucky portraitist Matthew Harris Jouett (American, 1788-1827) found new homes amid strong, competitive bidding.

Fueled by these fabulous four, this October auction’s sale total soared to $1.4 million, with close to 1,000 bidders participating in person, over the phone, or on one of three online bidding platforms utilized by Cowan’s to make this auction’s contents easily available to the masses.

“This is the first time since we sold the Marge Schott collection in 2006 that Cowan’s has sold four lots for more than $100,000 in a single auction,” stated Sam Cowan, Cowan’s director of Fine and Decorative Art. The lots in question bumped past that magical mark for several reasons. The provenance of the sale’s top

lot, the John James Audubon fowling rifle, was extensive and spot on. The exceptionally long percussion fowling piece descended directly through the family of his wife, Lucy Bakewell Audubon.

Affixed to the left cheek plate of the figured maple stock was a heavy gauge, 5by-1-inch brass plaque with the following inscription in block letters, “The gun is the original ‘Long Tom’ of John James Audubon. At his death, his widow, Mrs. Lucy Bakewell Audubon, gave the gun to her brother William Gifford Bakewell.” This statement was testified to by Mrs. William G. Bakewell and Miss Harriet Bachman Audubon, granddaughter of J.J. Audubon.

The “rotary dial” made its debut in 1904. Another major 1904 upgrade, the “French Phone,” which finally combined the transmitter and receiver in a single handset.

The streamlined “Candlestick Phone” attracted consumer interest from the 1890s into the 1920s, but the most ubiquitous phone design of the mid-20th century was the rotary dial desk set (aka “Model 500”) popularized by Western Electric.

The first 500s, introduced in 1950, came only in black.

made several copies, with five being known to have survived, but which was the original?

Cowan’s catalog listing explains, “Until recent discoveries in the Jouett literature, exactly which of these portraits was the original has been unclear. Now, we know that the first was ‘painted for a hemp manufacturer who had come in from the country to hear Mr. Clay speak at the old court-house in Lexington…’ and was so pleased by the

Lexington; U.S. Department of State, Washington; Westmoreland Museum of Art, Greensburg, Pa. And how is it known that this image was actually the first? Cowan’s does its homework, or knows who to ask.

The catalog entry was written

by Estill Curtis Pennington, of Paris, Ky. Pennington is the author of “Lessons in Likeness: the portrait painter in Kentucky and the Ohio River Valley, 1800-1920,” and is currently compiling a catalog raisonné of the works of Matthew Harris Jouett.

And if the selling of the Audubon fowler and the Henry Clay portrait was not enough excitement, along come the Andrew Clemens (1857-94) sand bottles. Yes, plural – not one, but two sand bottles.

Clemens was a deaf mute who gathered colored sand and with homemade wooden tools formed his pictures by compressing these naturalcolored sands inside chemists

John James Audubon’s favorite “Long Tom” fowling rifle descending directly through the family of his wife, Lucy Bakewell Audubon, was a prize at $192,000.

The provenance of the portrait is also solid: Commissioned by James Weir, 1818; by sale to James Fletcher Johnston, Lexington; to his wife who sold the painting to a private collector in Washington, D.C.; acquired by David David Inc., Philadelphia; by sale to Caulder Turner, Lexington; by

background on one side, while the opposite showed an American spread-winged eagle underneath a flag of 42 stars.

“Being an upside-down bottle, meaning he had to create the image upsidedown, and that it included the eagle, ships and flags – we knew this bottle would sell strong,” said Cowan. And it did, realizing a world auction record price of $108,000 (est. $35,000/$45,000).

And then the next lot came up for bids, a 6.75 inches high upright Andrew Clemens sand bottle with an American spread-winged eagle underneath a flag of 36 stars on one side, the other having a floral bouquet below the name “Mrs. Eliza B. Lewis,” Attributed to John Henry Belter, this parlor suite composed of a triple back with layered colored sands in settee, a pair of meridiennes, and four side chairs featuring political and literary a geometric pattern.

Great Commoner’s proposal for a protective tariff that ‘before leaving the courthouse, he engaged Jouett to make for him a portrait of the statesman’ (McDowell, p. 767768).’”

That hemp manufacturer was James Weir; as Cowan’s notes, “a Lexington businessman and one-time trustee of the city. Initially a dry goods merchant in partnership with a Mr. Little, he set out on his own in October 1819, as announced in the Lexington Reporter on May 19. Over the next decade, he built factories which manufactured hemp rope and cotton bagging for the downriver trade. He also became an active supporter of Henry Clay, whose star on the national political scene was in the ascendant.”

seal at the neck and had its full label on the underside, stating, “Pictured Rock Sand / put up by / A. Clemens, / deaf mute / McGregor, Iowa.”

Again collectors who obviously came here with the sole purpose of coming home with a Clemens bottle battled it out. When the dust settled, the world record set by the previous lot was shattered, with this second bottle earning that title, commanding $132,000 (est. $25,000/$35,000).

“The selling of the Clemens bottles was exciting to witness,” according to Cowan. “I marvel at the fact that Clemens made these bottles between 1860 and ’80, and yet, no one has come close to replicating his talent. Also, as soon as these bottles sold, I predicted two things would happen: more Clemens sand bottles would be appearing on the market, and these sales are going to reinvigorate the attention on such items and will help drive the market.” So far one of Cowan’s predictions has come to pass. Another Andrew Clemens sand bottle has been consigned to the Cowan’s upcoming Americana sale in March 2019.

Though not obtaining a six figure selling price, these lots also saw outstanding sales. A Tiffany Studios hanging shade in the Greek Key pattern went to $22,140 (est. $15,000/$25,000). An inlaid Kentucky desk-and-bookcase said to have been owned by Isaac Shelby realized $36,000 (est. $30,000/$50,000). A paint-decorated chest of drawers by Samuel Dunlap of New Hampshire flattened its pre-sale estimate of $8,000 to $10,000 when it sold for $42,000. The untouched vinegar painting on the case and

And an exceptional parlor suite having political and literary portrait busts and attributed to John Henry Belter (1804-63) made $48,000 (est. $40,000/$60,000). The set was composed of a triple back settee, a pair of meridiennes, and four side chairs, each having carved historical busts, a scrolled and pierced back, shaped seat, foliate apron, turned stop-fluted legs, casters, and later Napoleonic bee upholstery.
