Kovels on Antiques & Collectibles April 2017 Newsletter Available
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) April 05, 2017 -- Sugar shakers attracted collectors looking for a little something sweet at a Virginia auction and they are featured in a sale report in Kovels on Antiques & Collectibles April 2017 newsletter. A common sight on a Victorian-era table, shakers were made in many pressed glass patterns and colors. Find pictures and prices of “spot optic,” “bubble lattice,” “medallion sprig” and other pressed glass examples that sold from $100 to $380. Collectors were on a mission for Stickley furniture sold at a New Jersey auction that included a dozen rare chairs, loveseats and settles. Most seating went for over $2,000 and examples are pictured with prices in Kovels’ April newsletter. Figural holders meant to display pocket watches are usually hard to find, but an Iowa sale offered more than 250 pocket watch holders that were part of a private collection. Kovels’ April issue pictures an Art Nouveau-style tower and an English Bobbie holder, as well as others that do double duty like the top lot pen stand with ink bottles and watch holder that brought $400.
Captivating cast iron banks from a single collection were on the auction block in Pennsylvania. Mechanical, still and tin registering banks all were available. A painted iron Jonah and the Whale mechanical bank took top honors at over $115,000. Others sold from the hundreds to five figures. Examples are in Kovels’ latest issue. And collectors gathered up baskets at two winter auctions, where basket prices ranged from $35 to $655. Baskets with different names, shapes and purposes, along with their descriptions and prices, can be found in Kovels’ April newsletter.
