See pictures, descriptions and prices of buttons, banners and bandanas advertising 19th-century presidential candidates that sold from $400 to over $8,000. Also included are tips on what to collect from the 2016 campaign. Furniture designed by George Nelson & Associates was among the midcentury office and home goods sold at a Chicago. Find classic Nelson designs like a Marshmallow sofa that brought $17,500, a Kangaroo chair that went for $7,500, and even a set of Nelson-designed fireplace accessories that sold for $5,000 in Kovels’ latest issue. Coco Chanel is famous for her stately, simple fashion designs, but she also created bold costume jewelry and other accessories. Kovels’ November newsletter reports on pre-owned handbags, necklaces and other baubles, many with the designer’s “CC” logo that auctioned in Dallas.
More than 40 pieces of colorful antique Russian cloisonné (enamel decorated metal objects) from a single collection were sold in Maryland, where a dish by a Fabergé workmaster topped $20,000 and a cloisonné cigarette holder went for $150. And colorful carnival glass was included in two Virginia auctions, where a red and amberina Dragon and Lotus ice cream bowl sold for the highest price, $632. More shimmering carnival glass pieces and their prices are pictured in Kovels’ November newsletter.
