“By profession, Brian and his wife, Jill, were partners in a successful demolition and salvage company that was started with just one dump truck and small bulldozer,” said Chris Sammet, co-owner of Milestone Auctions. “For many years Brian did wrecking work for railroads, taking down train stations, roundhouses and other structures. Fortunately, he saw treasure where others saw trash, and often he would rescue the relics he had been paid to destroy.

In fact, the bricks, trusses and lumber used to build his and Jill’s home came almost entirely from demolished buildings. That was the beginning of what would become a phenomenal collection containing many one-of-a-kind objects.”

Vesell Family, Longtime Gallery Supporters, Donate Landscape Paintings To Establish The Vesell Family Collection The Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pa., recently received a major donation of 45 19th-century American landscape paintings from Hilary Peery Vesell, of Hershey. The paintings were donated in honor of her father, Dr. Elliot Vesell, who along with his wife, Kristen, was a generous patron of the gallery for many years and had loaned work for several gallery exhibitions, including “William Trost Richard’s Land and Sea” (2009) and “Visions of Nature: Nineteenth-Century Women Landscape Artists” (2011).

Dr. Vesell served for 32 years as the founding chair of pharmacology at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and 22 years as assistant dean of graduate studies at the Penn State College of Medicine. An Evan Pugh Professor, and later professor emeritus, he published more than 350 articles on pharmacogenomics and received many awards and honorary degrees, including an

PAI’s 81st Rare Posters Auction Earns $1.3 Million Belle Epoque Icons Mucha And Toulouse-Lautrec Prevail Poster Auctions International’s (PAI) second sale of the year, held July 21, finished at $1.3 million in gross sales. Auction LXXXI proved an ongoing passion for original posters in today’s market.

“This auction was anything but typical. We’re in the midst of a global pandemic, and this was also our first auction in 35 years to not feature our traditional and highly regarded printed catalogue.

Despite this, we received a strong showing of support, which both surprised us and gratified us. We were also pleased with the ongoing response to Art Nouveau works, which have proven to captivate both new and seasoned collectors,” said Jack Rennert, president of PAI. The great mythologizer of Montmartre, Henri de ToulouseLautrec maintained his appeal to bidders. His 1894 “Eldorado / Aristide Bruant,” originally denigrated by the venue’s management, went for $78,000. All prices include premiums. Similarly, his triumphant 1896 “La Chaîne Simpson,” at auction for the first time in nine years, soared to a record-breaking $72,000. Another design for the famed cabaret star, “Aristide Bruant Dans Son Cabaret,” from 1893, claimed $43,200.

The zest for Art Nouveau works continued with Alphonse Mucha, whose ornate designs remain a

Two sets of his revered decorative panels for the four seasons claimed top sales: the 1896 set of “The Seasons” was won for $43,200, and a rare variant with the imprint of “L. Brancher,” from 1900, reached $45,600. His “Moët & Chandon,” from 1899, was claimed for $31,200. His radiant 1896 “Job,” estimated at $15,000-$20,000, soared to new heights, realizing $29,520.

Additionally, the collection boasts locomotive whistles, dozens of railroad lanterns, some with colored glass, and many other train-related objects of interest.

After Maiher had acquired everything he ever wanted in the railroad category, he became interested in fire alarms, buying antique productions from as early as the 1860s and through to the present day. “There are around 40 alarms in the sale,� said Sammet. “Some of them are really great looking, especially the early ones with gongs and unusual shapes. They’re both mechanical and decorative.

There are also some old castiron ones from the 1910s and ’20s that came from either firehouses or buildings that were alarmed for safety.� A prime example is a 52-inchlong Gamewell Excelsior electro-mechanical fire alarm with a 24-wheel transmitter and 15inch gong. Its housing is a handsome oak case with a bonnet top and beveled glass windows that reveal its substantial inner workings.

Every aspect of railroad culture can be found in the Maiher collection. Take, for example, the rare and coveted drum heads that were typically seen on North American trains during the first half of the 20th century. These removable signs with interior illumination were mounted to the rears of passenger trains and showed the name of either the railroad or specific train. The auction’s drum head selection includes 19 outstanding examples with ads for The Meteor (Frisco), The Pennsylvania Railroad’s Airway Limited, the Illinois Central Square Club (with Masonic logo), ErieLackawanna Limited, several from Wabash trains, e.g., the City of Kansas City, the Banner Blue, Follow the Flag, and more. Estimates range from $1,000 up to $6,000.

Renowned in train, fire and petroliana collecting circles, the Maiher collection was amassed from decades of attending shows and networking within the hobby and was displayed inside and on the grounds of the Maihers’ spacious Ohio residence. Firsttime visitors to the couple’s home couldn’t have been prepared for the astonishing sights that awaited them, including the centerpiece of Brian and Jill’s collection, an original 1890s P.J. Cooney (St. Louis) fire hose-reel carriage that took stood proudly in the foyer.

The maroon and gold fourwheel horse-drawn carriage was originally purchased for use by the fire department of Leadville, Colo., a prosperous Old West gold and silver mining town where a well-equipped fire department was of utmost importance. Almost entirely original, the carriage is accompanied by two books about Leadville’s history in which it is depicted. The pre-sale estimate is $100,000-$150,000.

Vintage Comic Book Collecting In The Year 2020

attempt to invest in this market. One such development that has been occurring in the vintage comic book market is that every time a new movie is announced from either Marvel or DC Comics, demand for the characters that appear in those movies rises. This causes certain vintage and sometimes not so vintage comic book prices to accelerate in value. Ironically, this is generally the worst time to invest in these books. Investors are better off waiting for any movie hype to die down before buying most of these books. Smart long-term investing in any market tends to reward those who go against the trends. For instance, I am amazed at what some key issues that aren’t overhyped can sell for when compared to others that are.

Some keys issues have even lost a little bit of value. One such example is Batman Adventures #12 in CGC 9.8. This book features the first key appearance of Harley Quinn, who happens to be the Joker’s narcissistic girlfriend in the Batman universe. The book was published in 1993 and is by no means a rare comic book. The book sells for over $1,500 in CGC 9.8 grade, but has dropped a little in value due to some of the DC Comic movies featuring Harley Quinn that were not well received.

This is an example where comic book speculators must be careful. Just because a new

It has been awhile since I took the time to comment on what is happening in the world of vintage comic book collecting. Vintage comic book collecting has gone through several transitions over the last few decades and is currently one of the hottest pop culture collecting markets.

And while the market for vintage comic books has been facing serious competition from other up and coming pop-culture-based collectibles (“Pokemon,” “Magic: The Gathering,” and even video games are stealing some of the spotlight) comic books have still achieved some record-breaking prices as of late. Now we have $90,000 vintage “Pokemon” cards, $100,000 “Magic: The Gathering” cards, and even $50,000-plus vintage video games. It should also be noted that these items can now be third party graded and encapsulated. But while these collectibles seem to be stealing some of comic books’ thunder are good overall, truly scarce high grade vintage comic books show no signs of slowing down, with some exceptions. It is the exceptions that I wish to discuss here.

In order to understand how we ever got to a place where certain third-party graded vintage comic books are now selling for over 1 million dollars, we have to look to the past. It wasn’t that long ago that comic books were seen as disposable pieces of newsprint that may have some value to the average comic book collector. In the 1990s, you could have bought most of the highly coveted key issues from the golden, silver, and bronze era for less than 10 percent of the prices they

had a vision to bring a lot of their comic book characters and stories to life on the silver screen. Emerging out of bankruptcy due to mass hysteria and speculation that nearly collapsed the modern era comic book market back in the 1990s, Marvel would be sold to Disney. Disney had the means to bring these comic creations to life, and both casual enthusiasts and hardcore collectors took notice.

This was just the spark the vintage comic book market needed to bring in the average speculator.

All of these catalysts converged to create a collectibles market so strong that it has become one of the most established markets in all of pop culture collecting. Only vintage and antique toys come close to dethroning it, and still to this day, there are very few toys that regularly cross the auction block at prices similar to what some vintage comic books are routinely selling for.

Unfortunately, the rise of prices in vintage comic books has caused some investors and speculators to be blinded of the potential risks. Now that the market has been going strong in most cases for the last decade or more, trends have started to emerge. Vintage pre-1975 comic books that feature a key issue or development are definitely ones worth considering if one is going to

are now achieving. This didn’t happen by accident, as there were several key developments occurring at the turn of the millennium that caused vintage key comic book prices to skyrocket.

The first was the development of third-party grading.

Comics Guaranty Corporation (known as CGC in the trade) was launched right around the year 2000, and it instantaneously transformed the market. Buyers and sellers could now buy vintage comic books and have confidence in what they were buying. CGC was the first highly respected thirdparty grading company to encapsulate and grade comic books just like coins.

The second key component that needed to occur in the vintage comic book market was the willingness of deep pocketed investors and speculators to enter the market. Manipulation in the collectibles market is not new.

Big money got together, and the dealers followed. The auction houses came next, with Heritage Auctions pioneering a large stake in the vintage comic book market as well as ComicLink coming on the scene to add even more credibility. Record-breaking sales were being reported en masse on a regular basis, and prices were rising, but it didn’t end there. Something else needed to ignite the spark to get collectors to keep paying.

Marvel Comics has always

Speculators and investors just need to understand that there are risks to buying some of these key issues at their current prices, and a correction in this market is long overdue.

Still, I don’t see the market dropping on truly scarce comic books that have stood the test of time, and those are the books long-term investors should be buying. Until next time Batman, same Bat time, same Bat publication!

Collector Anecdotes And Antics

movie or series is announced featuring their favorite comic book characters does not mean the movie or series will be well received by fans.

Harley Quinn was well played by talented actress Margot Robbie, but the newest movie to feature her, called “Birds of Prey,” was not favorably received at the box office. As a result, many collectors consider the comic book in which she premiered to be overbought and overhyped. This is just one of the many risks in attempting to invest in overhyped books.

In conclusion, it is nice to see a collectibles market still going strong after all this time, especially with fierce competition from other pop culture collecting categories.

It happens quite often when I perform a house or estate contents appraisal. A client brings out an item with a note from mom, dad or the grandparents that basically says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is extremely valuable,â&#x20AC;? or, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is worth X.â&#x20AC;?

Usually this â&#x20AC;&#x153;valueâ&#x20AC;? was obtained from a well-intentioned individual with little or no expertise in the category and is nowhere near todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s realistic value.

Often itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a piece of cut glass, artwork or print, furniture item, Limoges plate or vase, china set, or perhaps a run-of-the-mill Chotchkee. The other day it was an antique and very primitive workbench that was 10 feet long, weighed several hundred pounds, and the young owner had been told it was worth at least $1,000 by a family member. I doubt that it would have brought $5 at auction.

Frequently itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to me to break the bad news regarding value. And a sad reality today is that few in the younger generation want most antiques and collectibles the same way their parents or grandparents did.

When anticipating leaving treasures to loved ones, remember that there are actually two totally different types of value. â&#x20AC;˘ Sentimental Value This encompasses all of the stories, memories, family lore, and history associated with the item. Who owned it? Where did it came from? What makes it so special? Why should it remain in the family? Sentimental value can be valuable to family members who want to carry on the family legacy and share details with loved ones and future generations. If someone important or famous was

party can protect you or the executor against undue criticism. Either way, you need to remember that sentimental value and cash value are two totally different entities, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only fair that you leave both to your loved ones.

R062697

SHOW & FLEA MARKET CALENDAR

associated with it, value can increase exponentially. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x153;provenance.â&#x20AC;? But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend â&#x20AC;&#x153;sentimental value.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Cash Value This is completely different from sentimental value. This is what someone can sell it for if they wish to convert it into cash. And unfortunately, all too often those who are left these â&#x20AC;&#x153;valuableâ&#x20AC;? items want nothing to do with them and are disappointed when they hear how little theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually worth today.

My advice is that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to leave some â&#x20AC;&#x153;treasuresâ&#x20AC;? to family members and loved ones, you need to do three things: First, make sure they actually want it. Second, create a written â&#x20AC;&#x153;sentimental valueâ&#x20AC;? legacy of the items you wish to pass on, which leaves no room for misunderstanding or confusion. Third, get a professional and impartial appraisal or opinion of â&#x20AC;&#x153;cash valueâ&#x20AC;? from a knowledgeable individual who has no interest in buying it.

After all, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaving your family treasures to your loved ones. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important and only fair that you leave them with an accurate history as well as realistic value expectations.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it worth? We perform many â&#x20AC;&#x153;equitable distribution appraisalsâ&#x20AC;? for clients who wish to avoid any family disagreements after their passing. Some prefer to leave specific items to specific loved ones. Others simply want their heirs to understand value so they can more equitably divide items among themselves. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precisely what an equitable distribution appraisal can accomplish.

Another benefit is that values provided by an independent, unbiased, and impartial third

A Look At 19th-Century Red Earthenware Figures Made In Pennsylvania

By Justin W. Thomas

sold through Samuel T. Freeman & Company in Philadelphia on June 28, 29, 30 and July 1, 1920. The catalog reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;The early history of the people of Pennsylvania was the hobby of the late Governor Pennypacker. His collection of rare imprints from the first presses through eastern Pennsylvania was just celebrated, and while that part of his collection is better known, especially among bibliophiles, yet his interest as a collector was not limited to the output of printing presses. His accumulation of Pennsylvania Dutch and German pottery among other areas of interest is worthy of special attention.â&#x20AC;?

Many of these objects are unusual, and many difficult to attribute to a specific potter, but there are instances where the history of these pieces are known. Among those names are the Bell family of the Shenandoah Valley; Anthony W. Baecher (1824-89) of Adams County, Pa., Thurmont, Md., and Winchester, Va.; George Wagner (1816-1896) of Carbon County, Pa., and even the folklore of a traveling hobo potter.

Museum Collections of Red Earthenware Figures In my travels, I have been lucky to see many of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best museum collections of American red earthenware and stoneware, both on

It is difficult to know for sure when 19th century pottery figures manufactured in the mid-Atlantic region first caught the attention of American collectors and museums, although, these types of playful and decorative objects were already popular with potteries in England, especially in the 18th century.

This type of production was not exclusive to the midAtlantic region, as there is some evidence of figures made in New England, such as a red earthenware beaver and cat owned by the Dyer Memorial Library in Abington, Mass., made by John Henry Benner (1728-96), a German immigrant potter, who may have worked in Germantown in Quincy, Mass., before he arrived in Abington in 1765. Moravian potters located along the East Coast also produced figurals, including bottles in the form of animals made by Rudolph Christ (1750-1833) in Salem, N.C., ca. 1804-29.

Among the most skilled of all the American figurals may have been the wares made by Cornwall (1814-90) and Wallace Kirkpatrick (1828-96) in Anna, Ill. For example, the most prominent of these objects may be a stoneware temperance jug made as a thank-you gift for caricature artist Thomas Nast (1840-1902), who published cartoons in Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weekly, exposing the corruption at Tammany Hall in New York City in the mid-1800s.

Today, the piece is on display at the New York Historical Society in Manhattan, N.Y. This was a type of creative production that went far beyond any given potterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everyday household wares and is often considered much rarer, based on the number of examples that survive and the amount of time that it must have taken to create these objects in comparison to simpler pots and pans.

Early Postcards Of The Lion That Started A Zoo

By Christopher Moor King Dick ruled Wellington Zoo in New Zealand for 14 years. The yearling lion king was the first of the animals to arrive at Newtown Park, taking up residence in June 1906, a few days before the death of Premier Richard John Seddon.

He was named after Seddon, receiving the statesman’s nickname of King Dick.

Seddon, a man of leonine qualities, led the government that granted New Zealand women the vote in 1893 and introduced means tested old age pensions for those age 65 and over in 1898, two social reforms that were world firsts.

Dick was one year old when gifted to Wellington city

by Bostock and Wombwell’s Circus and Menagerie. He was born in South Africa on Feb. 28, 1905, and raised by Marco, a lion-tamer at Wirth’s Circus.

King Dick was among the most beloved animals in the city during his lifetime.

King Dick seen in full cry in “Dinner is Late,” the Tanner Bros. postcard no.

98.

Plans to mate Dick with a young lioness fell through in 1909. The zoo returned her to Wirth’s Circus. A new two-compartment lion house was under construction and was not ready yet for her occupancy.

Early in 1911, Mary, another lioness, joined King Dick in his enclosure. They watched one another through the bars of their cages, deliberately kept apart for a few days in case they mauled each other. Soon after the divider was removed, the pair showed they got along very well.

Mary gave birth to two cubs, George and Maud, in February 1913. George would die from pneumonia in June 1914. Twin sister Maud was mated with Briton, a lion loaned to the zoo, and had four cubs by him in 1915. Her mother, Mary, had also been on loan to the zoo, and seemed set for a return to Wirth’s after giving birth to George and Maud.

Wellingtonians raised £100 ($200) to purchase her from the circus and keep their favorite animal family together.

Sadly, Dick was euthanised at the age of 15 years on Dec. 18, 1920, after he had lost the use of his rear legs. His body went to a taxidermist, where he was mounted and stuffed

One of the lesser known King Dick postcards is the Tanner Bros. no 99.

Dick’s mounted form then went into the collection of the Dominion Museum, now the Museum of Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa) after the Newtown Museum’s closure in the 1930s.

The mounted King Dick is now on loan from Te Papa to the Wellington Museum, where he can be seen in The Attic (third floor) in a display case he shares with Rusty (1977-97), another lion that lived most of his life at Wellington Zoo. King Dick was featured on several postcards in his

lifetime. Some are now extremely rare, produced for sale in a country with a population of roughly 1.1 million people during the early years of the 20th century. An atypical example amongst the landscapes is a portrait-style card of a sitting Dick photographed and published by Wellingtonian Harold Plimmer, ca. 1909.

Tanner Bros had been the most prolific publishers of King Dick-theme postcards.

With an office in London and postcards printed in Saxony (Germany) pre-WWI, Tanners’ publications appear to have been sold outside of New Zealand, as King Dick postcards were sent to loved ones

by Allied POWs captured by the Germans during the first world war.

The oldest postcard discovered while researching this article was mailed in 1907. A young King Dick is shown facing out from behind the bars of his cage with the information; MSB has written to Mifs (Miss) Wilson of Dunedin,

Fall Edition Of Fishersville Antiques Expo Cancelled

By Ray Stokes After the disappointment of having had to cancel the 66th edition of the Fishersville Antiques Expo in May, the folks at Heritage Promotions had hoped the risks of the coronavirus would have subsided and the fall edition of the show could go on. However, after much deliberation and detailed examination of the CDC and Virginia Department of Health guidelines and restrictions, organizers concluded there was just no way they could present the quality show to which people are accustomed while ensuring the health and safety of hundreds of dealers, thousands of customers, and staff and Augusta Expo work crews.

In spite of some early indications of mitigating the spread of the virus in the

spring, the current surges and expanded spread of the virus makes it impossible to proceed in planning for the fall show, which, regretfully, must also be cancelled. This was not an easy decision for the organizers to make, but they are confident it is the right and only reasonable decision for the safety of all concerned.

That said, Heritage Promotions will not “fold the tent” but will move forward with planning for the third attempt at presenting the 66th edition of the Fishersville Antiques Expo in the spring of 2021. Attendees are encouraged to add the Fishersville Show to their calendars for Friday and Saturday, May 7 and 8, 2021.

Linda And Dennis Moyer Estate Sale Simmons Bird Tree Sets New Record, Selling For $103,700, And Drissel Slide-Lid Box Brings $137,500

By Karl Pass Downingtown, Pa., auction house Pook & Pook Inc. sold the estate collection of Linda and Dennis Moyer on July 10 and 11. The Moyers of Zionsville, Lehigh County, Pa., amassed a collection of Pennsylvania German decorative arts largely through farm sales over the decades in and around the Lehigh Valley.

Collecting this way is a method that has long since ended and an era not returning. The material has dried up as the old farmsteads have had their contents dispersed over the generations. Very few large groupings of this level of material, having been put together through hundreds of on-site country sales and private purchases, remain in private hands.

The two-day sale grossed $1,382,590, including a 22-percent buyer’s premium, 25-percent for online bidding. There were 104 phone bidders, 132 live and absentee bidders, 916 on Bidsquare, and 755 on Invaluable.

A lot of the Moyer collection was also sold through Pook & Pook’s online-only sales earlier in the year.

Auctioneer Greg Somers of Coopersburg, Pa., is also

handling part of the estate.

Tremendous anticipation and hunger was evident for this auction. The pool of buyers may be smaller than it was 20 or 25 years ago, but upper end quality Pennsylvania country antiques are very much in fashion in today’s marketplace. “You can say fewer buyers are there, but it’s encouraging to see people have no trouble spending and stepping up,” remarked Jamie Shearer of Pook & Pook following the sale.

A new auction record was achieved for the Simmons bird tree selling as the first lot in session one, going to a Pennsylvania private collector in the salesroom for $103,700.

It was underbid by the trade bidding by phone. Standing 20.5 inches tall with eight birds (one lower branch with bird broken and deattached), it was purchased privately by

Fraktur is a very popular collectible art form. A Northampton County ink and watercolor “Man in the Moon” fraktur birth certificate for Elisaveth Leibenguth, b. 1810, 15.75-by-13 inches, illustrated in Pastor Fred Weiser’s “Fraktur: Pennsylvania A pine tavern table with round top and German Folk Art” in 1973, realized worn rough paint realized a strong $18,300. $21,960.

The Moyer property in Zionsville, Pa., was listed for sale in the amount of $425,000. It has sold.

Moyer in the 1960s, having descended in the family of Amos Kline.

Well-heeled folk art collectors realize these bird trees are rare, do not come around often, and that it could be many years until they see another.

A Pennsylvania painted poplar apothecary cupboard, 19th century, with three upper shelves above 16 drawers, resting on straight bracket feet, sold for $11,590 to a buyer in the salesroom.

As a whole, fraktur did well. This Bernhard Misson (active 1808-24) Bucks County ink and watercolor fraktur birth certificate for Hanna Luis, b. 1808, with angels, birds, tulips, and columns, with some restoration, sold for $12,200. For more on the artist, see Cory Amsler’s “Bucks County Fraktur,” pages 221-225.

It’s not easy to be an appraiser in today’s market. In fact, it is an impossible science, so to speak. Likely early 20th century in origin, this carved and painted wooden double-sided cat figure caught more than the little critter in its mouth. It grabbed the attention of some heavy hitters in a bidding war, selling for $26,840, going to the trade representing a customer.

Moyer Estate Sale Continued from page 9

Even more so than the cat carving, the stunner of the sale was this lot of 10 fabric birds, selling for $21,960 to a buyer This embroidered table runner with tulips and stars, 23-by-40 inches, sold for in the Midwest. $2,928. scratch decorated period chicken eggs, many initialed and dated, sold as one lot going for $17,080.

Such lot groupings can scare off some collectors and can be seen as geared for dealers, yet, a collector bought A fine red and white Princess Feather crib quilt, 44-by-46 this group of inches, sold for $1,464. eggs. I doubt they would have brought more if sold individually.

One odd ball result (there were several) was a lot of 10 Pennsylvania fabric birds selling for a strong $21,960. They went to a buyer in the Midwest. Such birds are near impossible to age, many being early to mid-20th century. The underbidder clearly did not wish to quit either.

Some fine fraktur sold in what was really a fun sale for people who love Pennsylvania stuff. The fraktur market appears to be on solid legs. A very rare David Kriebel (active 1787-1848) Schwenkfelder ink and watercolor fraktur reward of merit sold to a Philadelphia collector for $13,420. For

reference see Dennis Moyer’s “Fraktur Writings and Folk Art Drawings.” A Northampton County “Man in the Moon” decoration fraktur taufshein with green and yellow birds and floral work sold for $18,300; and a Bucks County reward of merit of a bird with tulips sold for $7,320.

Another highlight was a Pennsylvania paint-decorated watch hutch with floral border on a darkened yellow ground, selling nearly double high estimate for $11,590.

Pook & Pook made a wise move eliminating its $500 minimum starting phone bid for this sale, so people who did not feel comfortable attending the sale or bidding online could participate on lower price point lots.

The Moyers loved folk art carved wooden canes. One attributed to “Bally Carver” illustrated in “Just For Nice” with a bearded man and vines on the hand grip brought $976. It sold for $556 at the Machmer sale in 2008. One attributed to Simmons with a dog head on the hand grip, also included in the 1991 book “Just For Nice,” sold for $1,250.

It once came out of the Forgedale Store in Washington Township, Berks County, Pa., and sold for $11,590 to a couple in the back of the salesroom.

Piles of homespun fabric, small groups of butter prints, and excellent quilts and coverlets sold. If categories within the textile market are currently soft, some areas exhibited promise. I’m sure losses occured with some of the homespun and coverlets, but were made up for with just the bird tree and slide-lid box.

Collections are a sum of the total.

A rare child’s size jacquard coverlet (fringe loss) sold for $1,000, and a New England linsey woolsey quilt brought $4,880.

auction in Lower Milford Township. Another slide-lid Drissel box sold for $83,780 to Philip Bradley on Aug. 4, 2012, at the Rick and Terry Ciccotelli sale held by Northeast Auctions. That box was once owned by Dick and Rosemarie Machmer. It brought $49,140 on Oct. 25, 2008, at Pook & Pook.

Many readers of this paper will remember the larger example from the Ruth Bryson estate sale (May 4, 2018, Vol. 49, No. 18). That Drissel slidelid box (Peter Nehs) belonging to Dorothy and Eugene Elgin sold for $82,500 on April 3, 2004, at Conestoga to Bryson, and brought $18,750 on April 14, 2008, at her estate sale.

people figures were also produced in a number of forms, including Native Americans and historical figures, as well as houses, historical buildings, Conestoga wagons and so many other styles. Some were produced with an intended purpose like being used as a bank, while others were strictly ornamental and whimsical, sometimes even manufactured as a toy rattle.

More recently, some of these original objects have served as a means of inspiration for 20th and 21st century Pennsylvania potters, especially Lester Breininger (1935-2011), whose pottery produced a wide variety of figurals in Robesonia, Pa. He had a deep appreciation for this type of pottery.

This Pennsylvania tradition is special to the state’s rich and diverse 19th-century red earthenware industry, largely

dominated by potters of Germanic descent. It is unquestionably among the most cherished brands of what we today call American folk art and has been celebrated by collectors for over a century.

King Dick and Mary are seen here in an unnumbered version of Tanner Bros no.

Printing these postcards in the German state of Saxony would have ended after the declaration of WWI on July 28, 1914.

Tanners’ no. 96 has King Dick and his mate Mary on a framed sepia card from the Maoriland series, again printed in Saxony. A glossy brown, borderless version has what looks like “Post Card” from a rubber stamp impression on the reverse side, indicating printing during WWI. The same reverse treatment appears on Tanners’ unnumbered “Christmas Wishes” postcard of the Dick and Mary photo.

“Dinner is late” is King Dick in full cry on Tanners’ postcard no. 98. The photo featured on a British printing for Tanner Bros of a Christmas card with verse, no. X 63, and on its no.
