Auctions: Pricey Confederate flag; seasonal bat lamp

Tuesday 27 September 2011


Pook & Pook Inc., a two-day sale the first weekend in Downingtown has a large number of important and expensive objects: Confederate flags civil war battle of the 19 st century fraktur birth certificate Montgomery County, and oil on canvas Fox hunting scene of Charles Morris Young, starter batteries, each of which is expected to sell the five digits.

But it also has more gay, and objects at an affordable price suitable for the Halloween season, including an Art Nouveau table lamp with the bat with its shades of glass, and an original Charles Addams cartoon.

The cartoon, which depicts two missionaries in front of a jungle witch dance, which obviously reduces the size of a doll, is a batch of about 300 in the first session, from 18:00, Friday alongside the gallery at 463 E. Lancaster Avenue. One of the 100 lots of a descendant of the Dodge, which has an estimated presale price of $ 2.000 to $ 3.000, according to the sales catalog (also available online at www.pookandpook.com). Will be familiar to readers of the New Yorker of a certain age, but lacks the legend that he probably felt.

The cartoon was one of several pieces of art of illustration in the session. Two oil on canvas by Frank E. Schoonover made in 1915 for a history of Scribner sheet are each expected to receive $ 5,000 to $ 10,000.

An illustration of a commercial hunting scene with two African-Americans and a skunk out a newspaper, made by Irving R. Brown Winchester Firearms Co. - and it would be socially unacceptable by today's standards - should bring $ 5,000 to $ 8,000.

Other, but not exactly a picture, is an oil on canvas by George Rodrigue contemporary dog ​​with yellow eyes, nose, white skin and blue against a group of men sitting ($ 3,000 to $ 5,000). We think the term conservative Blue Dog Democrats in the South, but Blue Dog Rodrigue has created a book with that title in the self-discovery that he and co-author Lawrence Freundlich published in 1994.

Next session on Friday, also will host Young fox hunting ($ 20,000 to 30,000) and several important paintings. They include three Walter Baum, including Snow Bound Brook ($ 10,000 to $ 15,000), five Chester County Rubincam Barclay scenes, including the construction of the bridge showing the construction of a covered bridge over a stream in rural areas ( $ 8,000 to 12,000), and a scene of a cabin of African-American family of William Aiken Walker ($ 14000-18000).
