Americana Week Sales Recap And The Ralph Esmerian Sale: A Further Retrospective By Karl Pass

he bulk of Americana Week events take place every year during the third week in January in New York City. The centerpiece is the Winter Antiques Show, which this year ran from Jan. 23 to Feb. 2. Celebrating its 60th anniversary, the show is held at the Park Avenue Armory on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and is the grand dame of fine a r t

This small pressmolded glazed redware fish bottle or flask attributed to Rudolph Christ of Salem, N.C., sold for $53,125 (est. $15,000-$20,000) to dealer Todd Prickett. It sold for $7,475 at the Dr. and Mrs. Henry Deyerle sale held through Sotheby’s in 1995. Rudolph Christ made tinenameled glazed figural pieces such as this during the first quarter of the 19th century and used copper oxide in his lead glaze formula to achieve the popular green coloration.

An excellent Pennsylvania slipware dated “1808” redware plate with two tulips and diamond shaped floral design sold at its high estimate of $20,000 (est. $15,000-$20,000). It was attributed to John Leidy II (1780-1838) of Franconia Township, Montgomery County. It sold for $4,800 on June 7, 1976, at the last of four major sales held by noted collector/dealer Walter Himmelreich at Pennypacker’s.

and antiques shows in the country. Along with other shows, Americana Week also features museum exhibitions, gallery shows, lectures, and auctions held throughout the city. Christie’s Americana Week sales totaled $10,189,025, notably including their Important American Furniture, Folk Art, and Decorative Arts sale that was held on Jan. 24, which garnered $5,416,400. Among the highlights was an 18th-century Chippendale carved mahogany scalloptop tea table from Philadelphia, which sold for $905,000. It was possibly from the shop of Benjamin Randolph. Sotheby’s Americana Week sales totaled just over $18.4 million. Their Important Americana sale totaled $5,451,076 and was held on Jan. 24, but the story of the week was the Ralph Esmerian Folk Art collection, sold on Jan. 25, which accounted for $12,955,943 of the grand total for Sotheby’s. All prices in this report include buyer’s premiums. The results of these sales always serve as barometers for market watchers to follow. While certainly these first quarter of 2014 Americana sales figures are astronomical, they A lidded redware jar with extensive banding decoration and likely from Lancaster County, Pa., sold at low estimate for $20,000 ($20,000-$30,000). It brought $10,350 at the Deyerle sale in 1995.

This was the finest grouping of portraits by artist Jacob Maentel to ever reach auction. This interior scene of John and Caterina Bickel, each measuring 19-by-12-inches, sold for $401,000 (est. $200,000-$300,000) to David Schorsch and Eileen Smiles.

represent a small market share at both auction houses. For example, Christie’s Old Masters Week, which also took place in New York City, held from Jan. 28 through Jan. 30, generated $68 million in sales, and Sotheby’s Old Masters Week total was over $70 million dollars (three lots sold had been recovered by the Monuments Men, the subject of a Columbia Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox movie about rescuing Nazistolen artwork during World War II.) Contemporary art sales at both international auction houses often eclipse $100 million in sales. Here is a rare ovoid redware lidded jar with cream, yellow and green slip decorated arches and dated “1790.” It sold to dealer Todd Prickett for $106,250 (est. $40,000-$60,000).

This Pennsylvania slipware redware plate dated “1816” with tulip decoration sold for $81,250 (est. $30,000-$40,000) to Yardley, Pa., dealer Todd Prickett. The plate sold at auction for $4,800 on June 18, 1979, at Pennypacker’s in Kenhorst, Pa. A near identical plate by the same potter and with the same date sold at the Dr. and Mrs. Donald Shelley sale held at Pook & Pook in Downingtown, Pa., on April 20, 2007 for $105,300.

dealer Todd Prickett for $43,750. Prickett also bought the following plate with tulips, attributed to Conrad Mumbouer (1761-1845), for $53,125. The top redware lot was the opening lot of the sale, which was a Pennsylvania sgraffito redware oval dish with tulips and a large heart selling for $281,000. The fraktur collection was highlighted by numerous rare examples. Fraktur are illuminated manuscripts done in a German style of decorative work. They often incorporate religious text for personal milestones such as birth and baptism. Some examples sold for record prices, while some failed to find bidders. A fraktur from Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pa., dated “1824” with pictorial hearts, flowers, birds, and symbols, was bought in (est. $25,000$35,000). The fraktur had sold for $6,325 at the Fred Wichman sale held at Sotheby’s on June 9, 1983. Reinholds, Pa., dealer Hattie Brunner also once owned it and sold it in 1945. A taufshein (birth and baptismal certificate) by the Rev. Henry Young, however, sold for a staggering $25,000 (est. $25,000$35,000). Similar versions in

Ralph Esmerian Sale

The full-length portrait of hatter John Mays of Schaefferstown, Lebanon County, Pa., in his shop by Jacob Maentel, circa 1830, sold for $469,000 on May 13, 2006, at Pook & Pook. It sold to dealer David Wheatcroft, underbid by dealer David Schorsch. Large interior scene full-length portraits by Maentel command a premium and are scarce. It is one of the few items in the Esmerian collection to have been purchased after the publication and exhibition “American Radiance.” This time, at the Esmerian sale, it sold for $245,000 (est. $60,000$80,000). The buyer was again David Wheatcroft and it was again underbid by David Schorsch.

example. A 19.50-by-14.50inch fraktur by Samuel Gottschall (1808-1898) of Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pa., sold for a strong $106,250 against a $15,000-$20,000 estimate to Olde Hope Antiques of Solebury, Pa., bidding on behalf of private collectors. An exceptional and vivid taufshein for Catharina Eberhard with elaborately detailed and graphic floral and geometric design work, roughly measuring 8-by-13 inches, sold to dealers David Schorsch and Eileen Smiles for $149,000. “It is a masterpiece,” stated Schorsch. It was estimated at $20,000$30,000. David Schorsch and his business partner, Eileen Smiles of Woodbury, Conn., were active buyers. “It was one the greatest buying days of my life,” said Schorsch following the sale. A rare Boston needlework sampler depicting Adam and Eve and dated “1744,” done by Lydia Hart, also sold to Schorsch for $233,000 (est. $30,000$40,000). He bought among many categories for customers and for stock. “I spent over $1 million on inventory,” stated Schorsch. Jacob Maentel was a German immigrant who lived in several parts of the southeastern Pennsylvania region in the early 19th century. He lived his later years in Indiana. Very few signed examples of his work exist. He painted profile and fullface portraits in both half and full length poses and in interior and exterior scenes. Little is known of Maentel himself.

Much of what has been written on the artist has been passed along in the oral tradition and marred by unsubstantiated research. Today, many folk art collectors admire his work, which has identifiable features and flat style elements. Of the seven lots of Maentel portraits in the sale, six sold for a total of $1,208,750. The highest priced Maentel portrait sold was the double portrait interior scene of John and Caterina Bickel, of Jonestown, Pa., each measuring 19-by-12-inches. They sold for $401,000. Another double portrait interior scene of Elizabeth and Michael Haak of Lebanon, Pa., circa 1820, sold for $233,000 to Pennsylvania private collectors bidding by phone. The subjects were portrayed on a separate sheet, with the interiors being virtually mirror images. This was a treatment used by the artist in his interior scenes, circa 1820s. A dog was added to the portrait of Mr. Haak. The auction record for any Maentel at public auction is $687,500 for the triple portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Ensminger and their baby done in Manheim, Pa., in 1831, on two pieces of paper and framed together. It sold at the late Bill Koch sale on June 5, 1999, by Pook & Pook and was bought by a Pennsylvania private collector. A major lot that was incorrectly cataloged in the book “American Radiance,” as well as the sale catalog, was the miniature wooden painted lift-top box with yellow and red checkerboard pattern. It was cataloged as probably Schoharie County, N.Y., circa 1800, but was

A very early (circa 1776) and rare fraktur by the SusselWashington artist depicting a man and woman sold to Pennsylvania private collectors bidding by phone for $81,250 (est. $80,000-$120,000). It was considered by several folk art experts to have been a good buy. (Below) This rare fraktur depicting two priests, along with tulips, birds, angels, and a highly detailed swirl design at the bottom, sold for $15,000 (est. $8,000-$10,000). It was likely from either Berks or Montgomery County, Pa. It sold for $14,850 at the Fine sale in 1987 and for $2,400 at the Garbisch sale in 1974.

from a distinctive group having originated from western Pennsylvania, very likely Somerset County. It was highly sought after, eventually selling for $377,000 to a Philadelphia private collector, underbid by David Schorsch, bidding on behalf of a collector. Of the 228 lots offered, 188 were sold. One of the main lots that passed was the reddish-brown ground Mahantango Valley slant-lid Federal desk. There were two angels on the lid, stags and birds on the drawer fronts, along with elaborate compass-drawn stars and corner fans throughout. It is one of three surviving examples within the larger distinctive group of furniture from this Pennsylvania German region of central Pennsylvania. It had once been over-painted. “The miniature chest with the horse and rider and the desk were two things that did not belong in the collection,” suggested David Schorsch. Both lots failed to sell. The captions tell more of the story. Not everything pictured here is Pennsylvania German in origin, but the vast majority are. All images are courtesy of Sotheby’s.

This watercolor drawing of a couple in profile under an arbor flanked by birds and a dog, likely Pennsylvania in origin, and circa 1800, it sold for $106,250 (est. $40,000-$60,000) to dealer David Wheatcroft. It previously sold for $27,500 at the M. Austin and Jill R. Fine sale at Sotheby’s on January 30, 1987, and has been loaned in many exhibitions over the years.

This watercolor birth certificate from Burlington County, N.J., for Ann Lippincott and dated “1797” sold for $16,250 (est. $12,000-$18,000). The piece sold for $2,700 on Oct. 4, 1971, at the second of four sales held by the late Walter Himmelreich at Pennypacker’s.

A very rare taufschein fraktur for Johann Martin Eyer, by Johann Adam Eyer (17551837), sold for $81,250 (est. $30,000-$50,000) It brought $5,000 at the first Garbisch sale in January of 1974. At the time, that was a huge sum to be paid. The series of Garbisch sales held by Sotheby’s helped usher in a period in the marketplace, just prior to the Bicentennial, when American folk art greatly escalated in popularity and prices realized at auction.

SHOPS & CENTERS Collector Anecdotes And Antics Antiques And Collectibles As An Asset Class speculative bubble that existed at or around this same time. Today factory-sealed Lego sets based on Star Wars and Super Heroes themes commonly dominate the attention of speculators and so called investors who argue that these items will have long lasting value. Meanwhile, up and coming items like classic video games and “Magic: The Gathering” game cards garner a new wave of interest from Generation X and younger crowd. The mainstream media routinely highlights items sold from these categories, acting as if these are the next great collectibles of the future. This is actually quite sad as a lot of the sales that the mass media highlights are in fact bogus, bid up on eBay by shill bidders only acting to generate attention to the price of the object in question. All of this leads us to the basic question, are antiques and collectibles a valid asset class? In my opinion some are, but it depends on the investor. If one is solely entering the trade for the investment aspect of these beloved treasures, I really think they are going to be disappointed. Learning the basics of any collecting category takes time, money, risk, and patience. This is something that seems to be sorely lacking among the average armchair antique enthusiast who watches “American Pickers” and “Antiques Roadshow” and then attempts to enter the trade.

There just doesn’t seem to be a month that goes by without seeing another headline about a new record price paid for an antique or collectible. Whether it is a comic book, coin, or piece of contemporary art, headlines like these permeate mass media publications that do not normally focus on the antiques and collectibles trade. These kinds of attention-getting headlines, along with the constant barrage of collecting based reality television shows, have been steadily increasing interest of the trade to those not normally involved in the overall antiques and collectibles market. While most would consider this a good thing, there are signs of caution that show that a lot of these newly minted collectors are only involved in the trade for the pure monetary reasons rather than that of nostalgia. With an uncertain stock market and bonds yielding extremely low returns, where is an investor looking for growth supposed to put their cash? Is the answer really collectibles? Unfortunately, there are external forces at work that are pulling non-collectors into the trade at an alarming rate. Even collectors have been bitten by the “investment bug.” A study done after the recent financial crisis showed that 74 percent of all collectors were buying with an investment motive in mind, according to ACE Private Risk Services. Want

proof of this frenzy in action? Just log on to any collecting based forum that caters to the usual subjects of speculation (i.e. comic books, coins, and toys). There are a growing number of participants that actively view their collections as a safe and sound investment in the future. This phenomenon is nothing new. In the 1980s, baseball card speculating was all the rage. At the same time, coins started to get serious attention from the Wall Street crowd due to the growing interest created by third party grading and encapsulation thanks in part to PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) and NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). It was at this time that Merrill Lynch offered the Athena Fund II, which was a mutual fund that invested in art and numismatics (note that the fund would be defunct by the mid 1990s). By the late 1980s to the early 1990s, modern comic book collecting was all the rage. Publishers figured out that if they released first issues in a bevy of variant editions and holographic covers that speculators would have to own one of each. To this day collectors are still trying to determine the exact print run of some of these issues, but many already know it was in the millions. By the late 1990s to the early millennium, the Beanie Baby craze gained full momentum and crashed almost as quickly as it appeared. Pokemon cards, based on the popular Nintendo video game franchise of the same name, would signify another

include the finest known copy of Amazing Man Comics #5 (#1), 9.4 CGC Mile High Pedigree, a rare and sought after issue that the Overstreet Price Guide classifies as one of the Top 100 Golden Age books. Fewer than 10 copies of the book exist and this is one of just two copies known, in the best condition ever recorded. The selection of art includes Robert Crumb’s original drawings for a complete three-page story, “Ducks Yas Yas” from Zap Comix #0. Art from early underground comics is seldom offered at auction and this rare set shows Crumb’s unmistakable style behind a Rapidograph mechanical pen. Another important work, the original cover art by John Buscema and George Roussos for The Avengers #42, is just the second Avengers cover Buscema ever drew. The auction also features the Dino Mauricio Golden Age Classic Cover Collection: 150 of the most collectible covers representing important themes, iconic characters and rare images, such as Superman #1 and Detective Comics #31. Additional highlights will include Gene Colan and Joe Sinnott’s original cover art for Captain America #117, the first appearance of Falcon; a fist-filled splash page by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta pitting Thor against

“Guardineer’s cover is the earliest Superman cover art in existence,” said Ed Jaster, senior vice president at Heritage. “It is a blockbuster piece of early American comic art history and a fitting companion to the landmark finds in this auction.” Fans who enjoyed the first offering of the Don and Maggie Thompson Pedigree collection still have a range of high-grade books to choose from with a 9.4 grade CGC NM copy of Tales of Suspense #39, the first appearance of Iron Man.

research that goes into building a high quality collection is on par with how much knowledge and research is needed to be a successful investor in the financial markets. Those who solely view the collectibles trade as a road to wealth are often sorry to hear that they bought the wrong kinds of items at the wrong time. How many Hummel figurines does my generation have to sit through at auction

after auction selling for nowhere near what the original collector paid? Ironically, my generation (that of Generation X) has virtually no interest in these items. When analyzing any collecting category for investment, one has to look at the overall market devoid of any nostalgia and delusions and then logically think about how many collectors actively pursue these items and will in the future. As someone

involved in multiple collecting fields, most of those involved in this hobby are wide-eyed, nostalgia-filled Gen X’ers trying to relive their youth. There is nothing wrong with this except when you try to argue that these items are valid investments for the future. The video game collecting field is quite small. To prove this point just look at how auction houses cater to video games and related collectibles. There are virtually none. I have never heard of an investment grade video game. I have heard of

an investment-grade comic book or an investment-grade coin. There are much fewer collectors of video games than there are of coins and comic books. Does this mean that these items are worthless as collectibles? No, it just means that the collector who views some of these items as investments rather than collectibles may be worth less financially overall! This discussion will be continued in my next column. Until that time, thank you for reading!

Magical Two-Session Sale To Be Held At Briggs Auction, Inc. Briggs Auction, Inc. is proud to present a two-session auction on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21 and 22. The first session will focus on the private collection of Pat Croce. The collection will feature rare Houdiniana and magic collectibles, as well as fine French and Italian furnishings, statuary, sports memorabilia and more. Pat Croce’s remarkable success as a physical therapist and pioneer in the field of sports medicine, followed by his colorful tenure as president of the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team, has been defined as one of the most amazing stories in sports history. Croce is also an author, successful entrepreneur, and a

A collection of ancient padlocks used in Houdini’s escape acts, including 12th-century European castle locks, two keys, and a pair of cuffs presented in a two-sided wood shadow box with red velvet lining, are estimated at $50,000-$70,000.

This is a large color lithograph Houdini billboard, titled “The World Famous Houdini, Master Mystifier,” with a preauction estimate of $8,000$10,000.

trained magician whose deep appreciation for one of the greatest magicians of all time, Harry Houdini, inspired his impressive collection. Over the past several decades, Croce has amassed an impressive array of Houdini artifacts, such as unpublished photographs, handcuff displays, ephemera and more, which will be featured in the upcoming auction. The legendary Harry Houdini (18741926) was a HungarianAmerican illusionist and stunt-performer noted for his sensational escape acts. From his first handcuff escape, to his daring, deathdefying illusions, Houdini quickly became one of the world’s most captivating figures. The mystery of Houdini

There is a set of four elegant Italian marble statues of female figures representing the four seasons (pre-auction estimate: $15,000-$18,000 for the set), approximately 6’ tall.

continues to captivate audiences today and Houdini artifacts are highly prized. The Croce collection will also feature an array of furniture and decorative pieces from his Villanova, Pa., home. The Croces’ discerning taste in furnishings is evident in this fine selection of French antiques, porcelains, Italian marbles, and fine bronzes, which round out this exciting auction with estimates ranging from $75 to $80,000. John Turner, president of Briggs Auction, Inc., commented, “This remarkable collection, which is filled with exquisite and unusual pieces spanning several centuries, is a testament to the energy, enthusiasm, and thoughtfulness that Mr. Croce brings to every endeavor.” Highlights will include the following: a large color lithograph Houdini billboard, titled “The World Famous Houdini, Master Mystifier.”

The poster proclaims Houdini as “The greatest necromancer of the age,

perhaps of all times” and illustrates Houdini displaying his magical skills. There is also an important letter from the American magician Harry Kellar to Harry Houdini. The letter mentions several other notable magicians and also discusses the recent popularity of the “sawing trick,” referring to sawing a woman in half. This piece is significant due to its discussion of the sawing trick, which was surrounded by much debate and controversy, and is still one of the most recognizable illusions. Another highlight is a collection of ancient padlocks used in Houdini’s escape acts, including 12thcentury European castle locks, two keys, and a pair of cuffs presented in a twosided wood shadow box with red velvet lining. This amazing collection was displayed in the Houdini Museum in Niagara Falls, N.Y., and also used as set dressing in the 1953 movie “Houdini” starring Tony Curtis and Janet

Leigh. A collection of wrist and ankle shackles, containing 12 individual contraptions including a wrist, ankle, neck shackle; a large padlock; and wrist and ankle shackles, were also formerly on display in the Houdini Museum. The Saturday session focuses on an assortment of period furnishings, decorative and fine art, silver, estate fine jewelry, oriental carpets, Chinese export porcelains, antique stoneware, redware, spatterware, and much more. Highlights for day two include six Chinese export armorial plates with central shield adornment, unusual crest of a Wyvern holding a helmet, and blue dragon border. There is a platinum bow pin encrusted with diamonds and an Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze (German American, 1816-1868) oil-on-canvas portrait of Col. Lancelot Bird. Also, an American Aaron Willard Federal mahogany tall case clock (Continued on page 10)

Two 19th-century Chinese bronze sculptures of warriors (one shown) with a pre-auction estimate of $5,000-$8,000 each, approximately 6’ tall, with natural patina from weathering, will be sold. This is a Georg Jensen sterling flatware service.

a hood above a sign and put a light inside it,” Matthews explained. “This is the first one of its type that I’ve sold.” Gas pump highlights include a Wayne Model 491 “Roman column” 10-gallon visible gas pump, $15,000$25,000, and a Wayne Model 452 curb pump with twin five-gallon attachments, $8,000-$12,000. An attractive Spirit Gas globe with the firm’s distinctive beehive logo leads the 125-lot selection of gas pump globes and is valued at $10,000-$15,000. Another desirable animal-theme logo is seen on the Buffalo Gasoline globe in the sale. Although a single-lens type, the globe’s appealing, uniquely American depiction of a buffalo running in a field should boost its value to $4,000-$5,000. A new discovery sure to entice collectors is a “Use Grasses Red Hat Gasoline” globe with a star-spangled red hat logo. “This is a very rare item from an early independent company,” Matthews said. “Unfortunately, Standard Oil sued Red Hat over the logo, which they had to change to an Art Deco thunderbird, but the litigation put them out of business.” The Red Hat globe could fetch $6,000-$8,000 at auction. Although not petroliana related, several vintage cardboard displays, a Victor Records porcelain sign and a jukebox trade sign are included in the auction, as well. “There won’t be any pain

Stars On Ice: Collectable Ice Skating Dolls The Winter Olympics are here! What better time to celebrate the enduring appeal of “dolls on ice”? Bundled up against the “brrrrr” of chilly winds, these wintry wonders send a shiver up the spines of their devotees, one that has nothing to do with the cold. Ice-skating dolls conjure up memories of frosty days spent zooming around a silvery rink, confident that, at journey’s end, a piping-hot cup of cocoa (and a warm pair of socks) await. And, there are hundreds of dolls to choose from, some bare classic names (“Madame Alexander” or “Barbie”) and others limited editions or high-end “art” dolls. There are spinoffs of popular product lines (“Precious

Moments”), and dolls with commercial tie-ins (“Campbell’s Soup”). Many celebrate Olympic champions. Skating dolls represent all ages and all eras in dress and design, from Victorian to modern-day. Why, there’s even a “Dora the Explorer” skater! Although almost every doll manufacturer has released skating dolls, here are some of the best-known: Madame Alexander. Beatrice Alexander seemed destined for her dollmaking career: she was born in an apartment above her father’s New York doll hospital. Madame’s first recognition came in the 1920s, with renditions of characters from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. Over the years “Jo,”

Nebraska-born “Terri Lee” dolls were the “American Girls” of their time. Instant recognition came through their appearances in Montgomery Ward catalogs just after World War II. During the 1940s and ‘50s, “Terri Lees” were the choice of doting parents with money to burn (one “Terri Lee” even came with her own mink coat.) Particularly prized by skating enthusiasts: a red-velvet-attired “Knickerbocker Holiday” doll. Betsy McCall. McCall’s may have been meant for Mom, but few little girls of (Continued on page 16)

composition, designer-craftsman Paul Evans (1931-1987) established a reputation as a creative designer of unique sculpted metal furniture. Constantly experimenting with new materials, technologies, and designs, his shop operated much like an industrial laboratory, and his highly innovative experimental approaches to metal have attracted an international following, especially in the past decade. The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage has awarded major grants for the project; and its support has made it possible to assemble an exhibit team and group of writers for the accompanying publication “Paul Evans: Crossing Boundaries and Crafting Modernism” that includes Edward Cooke, professor of American Decorative Arts, Yale University; Glenn Adamson, the newly appointed director of New York’s Museum of Arts and Design; Gregory Wittkopp, director,

Contemporary Art, New York University; Helen W. Drutt English, founder/director, Helen Drutt: Philadelphia; and Kimmerle. The exhibition is accompanied by a short-form documentary that includes interviews with Evans’ shop workers, family members, and such

This first retrospective of Evans’ work will include more than 60 works, spanning the artist’s entire career, with choice examples of his early metalwork and jewelry, collaborative pieces made by Evans and Phillip Lloyd Powell during the 1950s and 1960s, as well as a comprehensive selection of Evans’ studio work. The show will also include examples of Evans’ sculptures, as well as work he produced for Directional Furniture Company, along with a selection of studio craft work by his contemporaries. “This first comprehensive survey of Paul Evans’ work will document his dynamic career, evolving from metalsmith to furniture maker to designer, along with his unremitting new approaches to metal and his shifting focus from the New York craft world to the national world of design,” said Constance Kimmerle, curator of collections at the Michener. “Evans’ significant achievements demand that his work be written into the larger history of furniture design, and our upcoming Evans exhibition project promises to be a fitting tribute to this creative and prolific designer of unique studio furniture.” Conceptualizing furniture as sculpture and abstract

John G. Scott And His 2,500 Valentines By Robert Stauffer

John G. Scott designed over 2,500 juvenile valentines during his 30 year career with the Gibson Company from 1924 to 1953. These efforts are meticulously recorded in his work journal, which covers his entire commercial artwork career from 1910 to 1953. In addition, he designed all sorts of other greeting cards for Gibson (birthday, E a s t e r , Christmas, etc.), with a m o n t h l y salary that varied from $350/month in 1924 to $275/month in 1933 (a pay cut due to the Great Depression), and to $333/month in 1945. He also worked free-lance, designing advertising blotters and calendars for the Osborne Company, the T.D. Murphy Company, Gerlack-Barlow, and Brown & Begelow. He illustrated magazine covers in the 1920s for various women’s magazines such as “The Farmers Wife” and “The American Needlewoman.” His best known illustrations are four Cream of Wheat ads from the early 1920s (some of these are usually listed on eBay under “J.G. Scott” or “John G. Scott”). Despite the volume and variety of his commercial artwork, it has received little study or attention. An exception is Katherine Kreider’s book “One Hundred Years of Valentines,” published by Schiffer in 1999. Also, two of

his Cream of Wheat ads appeared in “Cream of Wheat Advertising Art” (by Dave Stivers, Collectors Showcase, 1986), but the biographical information provided is for another artist named John Scott, who did wildlife paintings. Here is

In the 1930s, cards were produced with a limited number of colors and neutral flesh tones (no rosy cheeks on these cards). Scott often tried to differentiate his cards in various ways: some were mechanical; some had a rear-view image on the back; and some had fabric, flocking, or feathers, and even a stick of chewing gum.

Wadsworth Atheneum Museum Of Art Receives $9.6 Million Bequest From Estate Of Charles H. Schwartz The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is pleased to announce it has received a $9.6 million bequest from the estate of Charles H. Schwartz. This gift is the largest bequest received by the museum in its history and will establish an endowment to expand and enhance the museum’s collection of English and European works of art from the 18th century and earlier in memory of the late Schwartz, a former museum member. “The impact of a bequest of this size on the Wadsworth Atheneum is enormous,” said Susan L. Talbott, Director and CEO. “We are already working to maximize the benefit of this generous gift to the museum in the years to come.” The creation of The Charles H. Schwartz Endowment Fund is timely in that the Wadsworth just

appointed Oliver Tostmann the Susan Morse Hilles curator of European Art to manage the museum’s worldrenowned collection of European masterworks. Tostmann, who called this bequest a “game changer for the European collection,” is working with Linda Roth, Charles C. and Eleanor Lamont Cunningham curator of European decorative arts, on a complete re-installation of European paintings, sculpture and decorative arts for the museum’s Morgan Memorial Building as part of the museum’s $33 million renovation project, due for completion in September of 2015. Charles H. Schwartz, known to his friends as “Bun,” joined the museum in 1987 and was a member of the Society of Daniel Wadsworth, the museum’s premier membership program, until his death in 1995.

A native of Suffield, Conn., Schwartz was a graduate of the Kingswood School, St. Mark’s School, and Yale University. Schwartz, a lifelong lover of the arts, was an avid collector of Old Master paintings and European art and decorative arts. “It is an honor to receive such a transformative gift from a man who was a visionary in his own collecting endeavors and who was a dear friend to many in the Wadsworth family,” said David W. Dangremond, President of the Board of Trustees. “Museums thrive on the generosity and foresight of donors like Charles Schwartz.” The Wadsworth, the oldest public art museum in the U.S., has paved the way for encyclopedic museums across the country, particularly in terms of its European collections. With 900

Also, a National Cash Register candy store-size cash register in good working condition, with all original parts and key, found a new owner for $863. Two French porcelain plaques in gesso frames, hand-painted and measuring 32-by-21-inches, circa 18701880, sold for $4,600 the pair; a 67-piece set of sterling silver flatware in the Grand Baroque pattern by Wallace (a service for eight, with extra serving pieces) breezed to $4,370; an outstanding rococo bronze dore mirror, 26 inches tall, commanded $2,250; and a Victorian rococo over-the-mantle mirror with ornate details, 55-by-60inches, hit $1,035. Stevens Auction Company’s next large sale is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 22, at the National Guard Armory building in Okolona, Miss. The auction will coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Okolona, at which Confederate Gen. Forrest’s rebels turned back the Union forces led by Gen. Smith. It was a major battle and a true turning point in the war, as Confederate forces, by dropping back and making the Union wait, forced Gen. Sherman to revise his scorched earth campaign, sparing some cities from burning. A re-enactment of the Battle of Okolona will be staged, as part of the event’s festivities. Fittingly, the auction will feature many items from the Civil War period, to

include antique furnishings, glassware, light fixtures and many pieces of Civil War memorabilia, such as belt buckles, rifles and other items (from both North and South). Headlining the auction will be an important estate out of Columbus, Miss., as well as other prominent local estates and collections. For more information, call 662-369-2200 or visit www.stevensauction.com.

Also, a monumental banquet lamp with marble columns, claw feet and winged cherubs, with a huge antique 11-inch amber shade with lily decor, realized $2,070. American Brilliant Cut Glass (ABCG) pieces are a big hit with collectors, and this sale had a wide selection. An ABCG console bowl that was heavily cut and extremely fine, in mint condition, 15 inches across, fetched $3,910; a stunning ABCG plate, 13 inches in diameter, went for $3,910; and an ABCG square bowl, extremely heavy, signed Hawks, was a bargain at $288.

her grief. Florence was alone much of the time by then as Clifford Ward had gone to work for the war department in Utah, and their oldest boy, Clifford Jr., was a Marine pilot serving in the South Pacific. Florence had a bit of an artistic flair, and she decided to pass the time by trying her hand at modeling clay figures in the family garage on North Lake Avenue. She joined a hobby class at the Franklin School for Pottery and Ceramics, set up a $50 kiln at a nearby vacant badminton court and got to work. Most of the first pieces Florence produced were of children. When she displayed those early works, some said that the little figures bore the smile of her lost son. Folks who visited the garage workshop were delighted by the quality and charm of her meticulously crafted designs, and they urged her to market them. She timidly approached a few retailers and was surprised when she soon received her first order for 84 pieces. Encouraged by this modest success, Florence Ward Lovely “Deborah” has real lace decided to turn her hobby embellishments and books for $300. She is nearly 10 inches into a full-time occupation. She planned to start her own tall.

The year was 1939. Franklin Roosevelt completed his second term as president of the United States, the World’s Fair opened in New York, and the brand new medium of television had begun. In Pasadena, Calif., Clifford and Florence Ward faced the devastating tragedy of the loss of their youngest son. The young lad died from a streptococcus infection, and Florence was inconsolable. For several years, concerned friends urged the saddened woman to take up a hobby of some kind to ease

By 1942, Florence Ceramics was a reality and when Clifford and Clifford Jr. came home to Southern California they were truly amazed to find a thriving, dynamic business awaiting them. By 1948, the three Wards presided over a stateof-the-art 13,000-foot plant and the Florence Ceramics Company products were offered for sale in America’s finest department and gift stores. Florence was the sole designer of the line, and her semi-porcelain figurines became much sought-after by collectors. Lamps, clocks and flower holders were added to the inventory and before long the plant employed upwards of 150 women who did the production work. Florence’s figures represent several periods of history. She also modeled characters from movies and books.

The perfectly proportioned figures with their expressive faces are a sure giveaway. One “trademark” of a Florence female figure is the long flowing dress, often embellished with lace.

These pieces are very similar to the originals, but usually are smaller and have a hand or arm repositioned. There’s an entire line of Florence Ceramics classified as “artware.” This includes all of the pieces that are not strictly figurines. Look for dishes, lamps, vanity sets, vases, picture frames, wall plaques, ashtrays, birds, animals and even lapel pins. Prices seem to vary wildly on Florence pieces these days, making “book prices” somewhat irrelevant in many cases. For instance, the 7.5inch figure of “Linda Lu,” which books for $160, is
