SHOPS & CENTERS COLLECTOR CHATS WITH PETER S. SEIBERT This Week: Private Museums
Over the course of many years, I have visited a great many private museums and continue to be amazed by what I have seen. What is a private museum? For the purposes of this article, a private museum is when a collector goes so far in the acquisition of objects that he or she creates, often in a separate building from their home, a private museum to show their collection. Perhaps the most famous private museum collectors
the best private museums have been built by people of means who bought wisely and at the right time. These are collectors who have the time to hunt for their treasures as well as the resources to pay for their finds. One museum collector I know has sons who are country auctioneers, and thus he was able to acquire wonderful tools, trade signs, and horse-drawn vehicles. Another spent hours at gun shows building his knowledge and then making smart purchases of guns and swords that no one else was interested in acquiring. The museums themselves are equally fascinating studies. Some that I have been to are beautifully arranged, with expensive mounts for their objects and good looking labels. One
even commissioned an artist to do paintings depicting the historical scenes relating to the artifacts he collected. Still others are just piled up in sheds “waiting to be discovered.” The latter are sometimes hard for folks to see, since rust, animals, and mold seem to be slowly

evolve from being something you live with in your home to a stand-alone entity? I think it has to do with a couple of things. First is a drive to collect, married with an equally great passion to share. Many collectors are reclusive with their treasures. As a museum director, I have met more than my share of them who refuse to loan, even anonymously, to exhibitions. Instead, they hide their collections away, often couched with a fear of theft. The private museum collector has a desire to share and educate visitors about their passion. Thus they create their own museum. The second part, and not to be minimized, is ready access to financial resources. Now this does not mean that you need to be Mr. or Mrs. Gotrocks. Rather, many of

were Henry Chapman Mercer and the Landis brothers. Both Mercer and the Landis brothers assembled huge collections of tools and the objects of daily life. Their holdings eventually were turned over to other organizations and now live on as museums. Mercer’s Museum, known as Fonthill, is open to today for visitors under the Bucks County Historical Society. The Landis Valley Farm Museum in Lancaster is now the Pennsylvania Farm Museum, an arm of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. While both of these museums were created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there are to this day many private museums that operate, often below the radar, throughout the country.

considerably less than presale estimates, including a rare diminutive painted and decorated stepback corner cupboard with a presale estimate of $25,000 to $50,000 that went for $21,250 and an Edward Duffield walnut tall case clock with a $30,000 to $50,000 presale estimate that brought $25,000. “I’m just going to have to take it back home,” sighed Bright Judson of Chestnut Hill, Pa., after the 18thcentury pine architectural corner cabinet she had consigned brought a top bid of $2,700, a fraction of its $6,000 to $8,000 presale estimate. Several other smaller lots she had offered for sale did meet their presale estimates/reserves. Among the books, maps, and manuscripts, however, only six failed to sell. And about half exceeded their generally modest presale estimates. Many were of local interest. Michael Poxon was happy to pay $344 for a signed limited edition of “The Examination of Joseph Galloway, Esq., by a Committee of the House of Commons,” printed in 1855 in Philadelphia for the Seventy Six Society. The presale estimate was $100 to $150. He planned to donate it to the Royal Heritage Society, in which he is active and which maintains the Fairmount Park mansion Ormiston. Ormiston, he explained, was built in 1798 on what was then Galloway’s farm. Galloway was a notorious Philadelphia tory, according to an article in PhiladelphiaFunGuide.com, and he was Provost Marshall former during Britain’s occupation of
Carrie Hagen, a Germantown area resident, is shown here at Freeman’s with a copy of her book about the Charley Ross kidnapping, “We Is Got Him.” Iams photo.
One of the Pennsylvania sale’s top prices, $25,000, was for a walnut tall case clock by Edward Duffield. Freeman’s photo.
Charley’s father, Christian K. Ross. On hand for their sale was Carrie Hagen, a former Germantown area resident who wrote a book about the case as part of a graduate studies program at Goucher College, titled “We Is Got Him: The Kidnapping That Changed America.” The title’s first four words come from the first note sent on July 3 to Ross demanding a $20,000 ransom. The book goes into extraordinary detail, beginning with the kidnapping of both Charley and his brother Walter by a strange man who jumped over a low brick wall onto the Ross family property and lured them to a horsedrawn wagon with the promise to buy them firecrackers. In the wagon was another man, who gave Walter 25 cents to buy the fireworks at a tobacco store in Kensington. When Walter came back out, the carriage, Charley, and the two men were gone.

“Under The Tree: A Century Of Holiday Trees And Toys” And More Holiday Fun At The Mercer Museum The Mercer Museum kicked off the holiday season with its annual exhibit, “Under the Tree: A Century of Holiday Trees and Toys.” “Under the Tree” captures the excitement of Christmas from a child’s point of view and features some of the most popular playthings from the Victorian era through the post World War II period. The exhibit will run through Sunday, January 5, 2014. In addition to “Under the Tree,” the museum will host activities throughout the holiday season. The Mercer’s annual holiday exhibit, “Under the Tree: A Century of Holiday Trees and Toys” features trees decorated with period ornaments and quality reproductions that show the evolution of this Christmas tradition from the 1860s through the 1960s. Toys on display include trains, dolls, play sets, tin wind-ups, sports games, Baby Boomer toys, and more. In conjunction with the exhibit, adults and teens can try their hand at Victorian ornament-making in a special workshop on Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Participants will learn to make typical ornaments of the late Victorian era using paper, fabric, confections, and die cut paper scraps. The workshop is $12 per person. Registration is
required and can be done by calling 215-348-9461. Santa, cider, and songs will be highlights of the Mercer Museum’s free Holiday Open House on Tuesday, Dec. 10, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A musical parade will escort St. Nick to the museum’s Log House, where he will listen to children’s wishes and give out special keepsake ornaments. Visitors will also enjoy musical performances and participate in the “Burning of the Greens.” Across the street at the James A. Michener Art Museum, guests will enjoy more free holiday fun, featuring performing groups and art-inspired activities. Young artists’ creations will be on display in the “Gift of Giving” exhibit. For a unique holiday gift and a family heirloom, artist Blanche Turner will demonstrate the art of silhouette cutting on Saturdays, Dec. 7, 14, and 21. Single custom silhouettes are $20. To have a custom silhouette created, call the Mercer Museum Shop at 215-345-0210, ext. 130. The Mercer Museum is located at Pine Street and Scout Way in Doylestown, Pa., and is open for selfguided exploration seven days a week. For more information, call 215-345-0210 or visit www.mercermuseum.org.

estimated to bring $200-$400. A 16 foot long canvas over wood canoe will require a bit of planning to ship, but is sure to interest a few outdoorsy buyers. Other fun pieces include a motorcycle carnival ride, a bass drum, and Lalique frosted glass dragons. The sale is rounded out with an assortment of decorative accessories, including lighting, paperweights, clocks, watches, andirons, glass dishes, art glass, metalware, woodenware, firearms, mirrors, etc. The buyer’s premium is 20 percent.

including belts, rings, and necklaces and several lots of costume jewelry. A few unusual items to note in the upcoming sale are the Seibe Gorman oak and leather fog horn. A Continental iron tinder lighter, ca. 1800, is sure to spark some interest. A George III mahogany book press from the late 1700s would make a great decorative accessory in anyone’s library. Two Victorian enameled glass eggs, the exteriors depicting a courting couple on one and a ballerina on the other, are sure to surprise buyers with the decanter sets hidden inside. A fun addition to anyone’s holiday tablescape is the Spanish sterling silver and amber glass pitcher in the form of an owl,

going on around him, Friedensohn painted in a range of styles and subjects. A piece by Itzchak Tarkay, an Israeli artist who survived the concentration camps during the Holocaust, is beautiful and unique in its use of black, white, and shades of gray. An oil on canvas portrait of a woman, attributed to Maria Verelst (1680-1744), is estimated to bring $1,000-$1,500. Born in Vienna to a family of artists, Verelst is most known for her portraits. Impressive in size and composition is the 96inch-long landscape by Franklin Eshelman. Very little is known about this Berks County, Pa., artist whose works have a distinctive attention to detail and somewhat caricature appearance that collectors find whimsical and charming. Hundreds of other artists’ works will cross the auction block, along with several unsigned pieces. The scope of the art includes landscapes, snowscapes, cityscapes, still
lifes, coastal scenes, charcoal sketches, woodblocks, etc. What better way to show someone you love them (or to spoil yourself) than with jewelry? A huge selection of estate jewelry includes diamonds, gold, silver, pearls, and other precious metals and stones. A fantastic Tiffany & Co. gold graduated maple leaf necklace, 66.2 dwt., is expected to bring $3,000-$5,000. A heavy yellow gold bracelet with curb links and a thatched finish is also expected to bring $3,000$5,000. A white gold doublestrand bezel set diamond necklace is estimated at a conservative $10,000-$15,000, considering one strand contains 83 diamonds and the other 85 diamonds. If you are thinking of popping the question over the holidays, Pook & Pook is also selling several engagement rings, including a diamond ring set in platinum with a center old European-cut diamond flanked by two tapered baguette cut diamonds (est. $8,000-$12,000). If you or your loved one has more unique taste, there is also a collection of Navajo jewelry,

Frederick Frieseke’s “On The Beach” May Sell For $600,000+ At Heritage Auctions torch of civilization and progress from one generation to the next,” said Aviva Lehmann, director of American Art at Heritage’s New York location. “There are only four other known examples of ‘Torch Bearer’ in existence, with the other examples cast in aluminum rather than in bronze. They are located in Havana, Cuba; at the University of Madrid in Spain; the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J.; and the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Va.” Additional highlights include “Lucinda, Mexican Girl, 1916” by Robert Henri, which could sell for $400,000+. Purchased the
year it was finished and passed down through the family to the current owner, the work was initially exhibited in 1916 and 1917 during the height of Henri’s success as the leader of the avantgarde ash can school. Another highly anticipated painting is “A Summer Vacation” by Edward Henry Potthast, which is expected to sell for $150,000+. “PerrosGuirec, Côtes du Nord, France,” by Childe Hassam, is expected to hammer for $100,000+. “Bathers” by Max Weber exemplifies the artist’s work during the pivotal period from 1909 to 1912, when he transitioned from his early
Fauvist compositions to his mature Cubist style. Painted in 1910, two years after Weber returned to New York from his studies in Europe, the work retains the foundation of his European training, but the contorted figures and flattened space embody the fundamental roots for his Cubist exploration. It could sell for $60,000+. The auction also includes an important private collection of 20 bronzes by Charles Cary Rumsey, led by “Study for a Centaur,” circa 1914, which may sell for $5,000+. The full-size massive bronze titled “The Centaur” is installed in front of the Buffalo & Erie County
Historical S o c i e t y Museum on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo, N.Y. A second important collection offered in the American auction includes 43 magnificent Frederick Frieseke’s painting “On the Beach hand-colored (Girl in Blue)” is expected to bring $600,000+ e n g r a v i n g s in Heritage Auctions’ Dec. 5 American from John Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture Signature J a m e s Auction.

Frederick Frieseke’s masterpiece “On the Beach (Girl in Blue)” is expected to bring $600,000+ in Heritage Auctions’ Thursday, Dec. 5, American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture Signature Auction, part of a two-day presentation of fine and decorative arts in New York City, starting with Tiffany, Lalique & Art Glass on Wednesday, Dec. 4, and the inaugural Art of New York Signature Auction, also on Dec. 5. Frieseke’s “On the Beach” is being offered at auction from a private collection following a century of appearing in public exhibits and publications, according to Brian Roughton, director of American and European Art. “This is a very important transition piece for Frieseke,” Roughton said. “It marks a movement away from the use of tonal ‘color fields’ and the start of painting en plein air and employing natural sunlight on his female models.” Among the historic and important works in the auction is “Torch Bearers” by Anna Hyatt Huntington, a heroic monument and the most significant work by the artist to come to market. The monument is expected to bring $400,000+ and is offered to benefit the Discovery Museum and Planetarium of Bridgeport, Conn., with proceeds to directly benefit science and engineering programs and exhibits. Roman Bronze Works was hired to cast the work in bronze in 1963, an undertaking which took months to complete. “Torch Bearers symbolizes the passing of the

Lieth will be auctioned by Quinn’s Auction Galleries on Saturday, Dec. 7. A vast and impressive array, the Lieth collection includes masterworks from such great names as George Ohr, Kataro Shirayamadani, R. Guy Cowan, Newcomb and Wayland Gregory. Lieth amassed one of the largest and most diverse collections of Cowan pottery in
private ownership. It contains more than 500 pieces, including one of the only 25 “Eve” sculptures ever made by R. Guy Cowan, founder of Cowan Pottery. Eve was created by Cowan in 1928. Just three years later, in 1931, Cowan Pottery went out of business. The sculpture is decorated in terra-cotta glaze and estimated to bring $2,000$4,000. Also featured is a pair of metallic elephant bookends

Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter says there are things out there he didn’t sign or wear. “People would say ‘Well, I have this item that you signed for me.’ And I’m like ‘No, you know, I didn’t sign it.’And they sit there and argue with me and tell me what I did sign and what I didn’t sign,” Jeter says. “Authenticity is such a huge problem in the memorabilia business.” To find out more, visit www.sports.sho.com.

during his rookie year may be looking at a loss of $250,000. Using a microscope and an already-verified jersey, Kinunen was able to verify that it was a Chicago Bulls jersey from the period, but “it was way too big for Michael Jordan. If you look at any shot of him, he was a skinny rookie…I would not be able to authenticate this jersey as Michael Jordan’s based on the size of this jersey,” says Kinunen. His database told him Jordan wore sizes 42 or 44; the

dirt,” he tells Keteyian. Steiner has partnerships with several major league teams, and as long as infields are made of dirt, he will always have product. The dirt from places like Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park sells encapsulated on plaques with photos for $69 or sprinkled over glue in cases with autographed baseballs for $130. Dirt collected during the 2009 World Series won by the Yankees, and now incorporated into a key chain, sells for $19.99. “Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Derek Jeter…think about who’s walked on this dirt and now you have a little bit of it,” says Steiner. Dirt is at the bottom of his product line, which includes a 20-by-20inch NY-logo patch of sod from Yankee stadium for $50,000 (installed), a gameworn Derek Jeter jersey for $25,000, and a locker used by Johnny Damon while he played for the Yankees for $17,500. Steiner goes through great pains to make sure it’s all authentic.

The world of sports memorabilia is a thriving business when even the dirt players play on is worth good money. That’s how big the “game-used” category of sports memorabilia has become. Athletes’ jerseys worn only once are selling for six figures. Bases used for a single inning, and that a cleat may have never touched, are fetching five figures with a star player’s autograph on them. If a big-name player used it in a game, collectors will pay big bucks for it. But buyers beware, a significant amount of the game-used material on sale, especially over the Internet, is hard or even impossible to authenticate. Correspondent Armen Keteyian explores the lucrative world of sports memorabilia, where even a thimblefull of stadium dirt mounted on a plaque can command $100, on the next edition of “60 Minutes Sports,” premiering Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 10 p.m. on Showtime. One of the biggest purveyors of game-used memorabilia, Brandon Steiner, is already making big money and has even bigger plans. “My goal is to sell $100 million of dirt. The margins are unbelievable, and underneath that dirt is more

Frances and Michael Higgins were ready to greet Studio visitors at the annual “Holiday Open House,” 1970s. (Higgins Glass Studio archives)
In 1948, fused glass artisans Frances and Michael Higgins began creating their “modern miracle with everyday glass.” This year, the Higgins Glass Studio of Riverside, Ill., celebrates its 65th anniversary. Trained in fused glass technique and design by the Higgins, current Studio owners Louise and Jonathan Wimmer and their staff continue to build on the traditions of the past, while moving boldly into the future. Frances and Michael met at the Chicago Institute of Design in 1948 and married soon after.
A selection of Higgins Glass bowls, produced at Dearborn Glass Company, Chicago, Ill., 1960s. (Photo by Leslie Piña)
Originally, the duo operated out of a Chicago apartment, with kilns set up behind the sofa. Everyday items, such as bowls and plates, were transformed, through the Higgins’ arresting mix of geometric and curved lines and imaginative use of color, into objects still useful, yet also visually vibrant and exciting. Promoted as “an exclamation point in your decorating scheme,” the unique blend of artistry and practicality that Higgins glassware offered quickly attracted buyers. Essentially, fusing is the creation of a “glass sandwich.” On one piece of enamel-coated glass, a design is created - either drawn with colored enamels or pieced with glass segments. Over this, another piece of enameled glass is laid. Placed on a mold, the object is then heated. Under heat, the glass “slumps” to the shape of the mold. The design itself is fused between the outer glass pieces, with additionallayers often adding to the texture and color complexity. The Studio operation moved

to more traditional surroundings in 1957, thanks to a partnership with the Dearborn Glass Company of Chicago. The Higgins name received national exposure through Dearborn’s extensive and heavily promoted line of “Higginsware.” The line included, in addition to a full range of tableware, everything from lamps and ashtrays to candleholders and rondelays. The richly varied output of the Higgins Studio has also included, at one point or another, clocks, bookends, paperweights, glass-topped ceramic dishes, tables, Christmas ornaments, jewelry, “dropout” vases, wall plaques, mobiles, free-standing sculptures, mirrors, church windows, room dividers, and even exterior building ornamentation. Imagine what can be done in glass, and the Higgins Studio has probably done it! In 1966, Michael and Frances Higgins elected to return to private studio work. There, they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards, and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them. Since 1966, the Higgins Glass Studio has been located at 33 East Quincy Street, in Riverside, Ill. Today, Higgins Glass is part of the Riverside fabric of life. The Studio is open year-round, and collectors particularly look forward to the “Holiday Open House,” which, since 1948, has been held on the first Friday evening of December. (The 2013 event is scheduled for December 6.) Higgins pieces are included in the collections of, among others, the Smithsonian, the Metropolitan, and the Corning Glass Museum. The designers and their Studio are also the subjects of the books “Higgins: Adventures in Glass,” and “Higgins II: Poetry in Glass.” Sixty-five years since its inception, Higgins Glass, an “old craft for modern tastes,” continues to fascinate customers. Pieces created today honor and expand on the traditions of the past. A direct line of continuity, from the Studio’s founders to the present day, means that glass objects in the distinctive Higgins style will continue to enchant collectors for many years to come. The “modern miracles” live on. To learn more, visit www.higginsglass.com. Gerard and James “Spann” Jeffers, among others. Forty-one items sold for over $10,000. Guyette, Schmidt & Deeter’s next sale will be in Charleston, S.C., on Friday, Feb. 14, 2014. This sale will be held in conjunction with the Southeastern Wildlife Expo.

Colorful Antique Advertising And Coin-Op Machines Q ui n n ’ s For Sale At Morphy’s Dec. 6 And 7 Auction
(Continued from page 12)
It pays to advertise, but as auction prices have shown over the past few years, it also pays to collect advertising. A steady stream of interested, new collectors continues to step up to join those who’ve long embraced this popular hobby, with the result being a symbiosis that works very well for all involved. As veteran collectors sell their pieces at auction to upgrade or finance upper-end acquisitions, newer collectors keep the marketplace buoyant at the entry level and middle market. One of the most reliable sources for antique and vintage advertising at a variety of price points is Morphy Auctions in southeastern Pennsylvania. The company conducts several specialty sales per year devoted exclusively to advertising, with the next one slated for Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6 and 7. The 1,400-lot sale includes not only advertising and general store items, but also coin-op machines and occupational shaving mugs, the category that will open the sale. The shaving mugs represent the third and final
offering from the collection of the late Ray Jones. Within the auction grouping are mugs emblazoned with images of a naval ship gunboat, est. $1,200-$1,500; a Civil War soldier standing next to a cannon and firearms, est. $1,500$2,000; and a double-masted steam yacht, est. $1,200$1,600. More than 50 antique coinop machines stand ready to accept pocket change from previewers. A Caille upright slot is expected to make $16,000$24,000. Two Mills machines are estimated in the five figures, as well. An Automatic 5cent slot could reach $10,000$12,000, and a novelty “Electricity Is Life” arcade machine might spark a winning bid of $12,000-$15,000.

works from Rookwood Pottery. An 1882 pitcher created by Maria Longworth Nichols, who established Rookwood Pottery Co. in 1880, is one of the top entries. Its decoration features a scene of an owl perched on a tree branch eating his caught dinner with a fork (est. $1,500$2,000). Rookwood works by Kataro Shirayamadani include an 1894 vase decorated in Rookwood’s standard glaze with a foliate design (est. $1,500-$2,000). Other noteworthy designs include pieces by Anna Marie Valentien, Sara Sax, Matthew A. Daly, Elizabeth Lincoln, and Sally Coyne. The collection also features Newcomb pottery from the women’s college of Tulane University in New Orleans. The Newcomb selection includes a bud vase created by Joseph Meyer and decorated by Marie De Hoa LeBlanc. The decoration features a white clay body with a blue, green and yellow glossy glaze with a daffodil pattern (est. $3,000-$4,000). Other works include pieces by Ada Witt Lonnegan, Mazie Teresa Ryan, Maude Robinson, Sadie Irvine, and Lillian Ann Guedry. No American art pottery collection would be complete without Roseville, and the Lieth collection boasts some of the most elusive patterns and forms. The 120-plus pieces of Roseville feature patterns such as Ferrella, Monticello, and Futura.
