Andy Lee Kirk (1947-2001), of Navajo and Isleta Pueblo heritage, found his passion working with gems and silver while earning his degree in biology from the University of New Mexico. It was there that Andy began to dabble in jewelry making, but it didn’t take long before he was crafting beautiful gold and silver jewelry using the finest materials continuing from 1970 to 2001. His artistic innovation utilized clean modern lines, meaningful symbolism and bright southwestern colors and he began to conquer competitions. In 1996, Andy won IACA Artist of the Year. He also won numerous high-ranking awards in the SWAIA Indian Market, including 1st Place and Best in Division. In Andy’s 54 short years, he became a brilliant jewelry designer and a nurturer of tradition and culture.

Michael Hugus (1775-1825) was born in Bucks County, but moved to Somerset County and married the daughter of one of the town founders. He worked as a clockmaker there until his death. Based on the distinctive skirt and vine inlays, the case of this clock is almost certainly by the same hand as the chest of drawers that sold as lot 431 in Garth’s 2014 Thanksgiving Auction. That chest carried an attribution to Shinnston, West Virginia, but given Hugus’s movement and the 80-year family history of this clock in western Pennsylvania, it’s more likely that the maker of both pieces worked in western Pennsylvania. $1,500-$3,000

A later note in the desk indicates that this desk was made in either Gettysburg or Winchester and came west to Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1804 with Jonathan Renick, a noted cattle breeder. Research has identified a Felix and George Renick who came to the Chillicothe area in the early 19th century and were, indeed, well-known for their cattle. If this desk belonged to one of them, it was likely made in Ohio, as little furniture made the trip west with early settlers. $1,000-$2,000

GUARANTEE: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. continues to be committed to providing thorough descriptions that reflect our belief in service through honesty, integrity and attention to detail. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin as stated in the first bold line of the catalogue description, with the exception of amendments by any oral or written notices or announcements at the time of the auction. “Origin” is defined as the creator, period, culture, or source, as set forth in the first bold line of a lot in the catalog. Exclusions – Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Guarantee, Garth’s Auctions, Inc. does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. Garth’s does not guarantee the authenticity of any item created before 1500. Regarding all jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. Regarding colored stones: purchasers are reminded that colored stones and diamonds may be enhanced by using one or more techniques, including but not limited to: clarity enhancements, resins, and heat treatment. Garth’s makes no warranty express or implied to the buyer as to whether a natural stone has been enhanced. Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call prior to the auction. We would prefer that you examine the items before you place a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. There is no other warranty, express or implied. Each and every lot is sold “as is”.
BUYING FOR OUR ACCOUNT: The owners and employees of Garth’s Auctions, Inc. never have, nor ever will buy any item at our auction for ourselves.
LIABILITY: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin of a lot for a period of twenty-one days from the date of the auction and only to the original purchaser of record at the auction. If it is determined to Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s satisfaction that the first bold line is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded provided the lot is returned to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction. It is also Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s policy to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser’s expense, the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. and the purchaser, before Garth’s Auctions, Inc. determines whether to rescind the sale under the above guarantee. The purchaser’s sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of origin of any lot shall be the rescission of the sale and return of the original purchase price and premium paid by the purchaser. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. accepts no liability of any kind for an item after the gavel has fallen.
WITHDRAWN LOTS: Garth’s Auction, Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any property before the auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for withdrawal of the property.
SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS: The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer is the buyer. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once the auctioneer’s gavel falls, the successful bidder immediately assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot.

The auctioneer also reserves the right to reject nominal bids and to withdraw from the auction items that do not receive a bid reflective of an item’s worth.

Therefore, any lot not receiving an opening bid of at least $50.00 will be passed.
ESTIMATES & RESERVES: Presale estimates are intended as guides and may not be reflective of actual gavel price. Some of the items in this auction are subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Garth’s Auctions, Inc. The reserve will not be higher than the low estimate.
