Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) February 27, 2014 -- Mardi Gras is New Orleans’ biggest party and revelers celebrated early at three New Orleans auctions, where a large collection of Mardi Gras memorabilia sold for solid prices. Examples of jewelry, parade favors and ball invitations are pictured with prices in “Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles” March 2014 newsletter. A Trifari “jelly belly” fish pin sold for $100 at a Chicago costume jewelry auction, where some of the best pieces by well-known designers and companies topped $1,000. Vintage necklaces, earrings and pins by Chanel, Miriam Haskell, and others are pictured with prices in Kovels’ March issue.
