Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) October 02, 2013 -- More than 30 earthenware creamers shaped like cows sold at a recent Massachusetts auction. See a Staffordshire sponge-painted cow creamer with calf that went for $1,440, and others in "Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles" October issue, available now in print and online. Effanbee Patsy and Patsy-related dolls are loveable, ageless and on the "want" lists of lots of doll collectors. Kovels reports on more than two dozen sold at a Maryland auction, with pictures and prices of Patsy Mae, Patysette, Patsy Jr., Patsykins and Patricia. Well-built 20th-century furniture that copies classic styles can be a good buy and a Cleveland auction sold more than 100 vintage tables, chairs, sofas, cabinets and chests. Kovels' newsletter pictures a Georgian-style dining table made by Kittinger that sold for $3,360, along with other examples of reasonably-priced reproductions.
