Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles September 2014 Newsletter Available
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) September 01, 2014 -- Comic Schäfer & Vater porcelain figurals are featured in “Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles” September 2014 newsletter. More than 200 pieces—bottles, nodders, flasks, pitchers and more—were sold at the Arizona auction. See a silly blond woman nodder with a bug on her exaggerated nose that sold for $222 and a cartoonish red-headed pin holder that went for $138, as well as other figures with funny features or pithy phrases. A New York auction included more than a dozen antique and vintage advertising items urging people to buy gum. A Beeman’s Pepsin Gum tin store display promoting gum chewing as a healthy habit—good for your tummy and your teeth—sold for $127. Kovels’ September newsletter has pictures and prices of other chewing gum ads and displays from the auction. Close to 50 vintage toy racecars sold at a summer New Jersey auction. Many of today’s collectors love the toys they played with and prices had a strong finish. Examples are featured in the September issue.
Toy rings that also conjured up childhood memories were sold in an online auction. They were originally offered decades ago as cereal premiums to fans of bygone radio or TV shows. The most expensive was a Superman secret chamber ring from a 1941 “drink milk” campaign that sold for $4,592. Other character rings are also pictured. Dedham Pottery’s crackle glaze plates with blue and white border decorations of animals or flowers have been collector favorites since the first plate was designed in 1891. Dedham plates sold at a recent Massachusetts auction and are pictured with prices. And collectors interested in accent tables scored some bargains at another Massachusetts auction, where small, useful antique and vintage tables sold for very reasonable prices. Pictures, prices and descriptions of various styles are included in Kovels’ September’s newsletter.
