No yard sale-ing for me, but a project off the list
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
This past weekend, I did something I haven't done in a long, long time: I
turned down the invitation to go yard sale-ing. And I would do it again,
too. You see, I had a huge project sitting in my dining room that I
really needed to get taken care of.
About a month ago (gosh, has it been that long already?!) my husband
was checking out the auction bill for an auction in Plainfield, Wis.,
which is a little over an hour away from our house. He asked me that
morning if I wanted to go, and I said I couldn't because my daughter
was having friend over early that afternoon. He told me they had over
2,000 books at this auction (which caught my ear) and brewery
memorabilia (which is right up his alley).
I said it sounded like an awesome auction, and that I had a feeling
that the books would go dirt cheap. I didn't need any books ... my
library was already stacked and packed with books lined up to read ...
but I think you have to take advantage of opportunities like this when
they arise.
That made up his mind. He said (and this is word for word, folks): "I'll take the truck and see if I can get you some books."
Some books. He came home with a truckload of books and it cost him a
whopping $30 ... no exaggeration on the amount of books or the price! I
couldn't believe it. I expected a few box lots, but not a truckload. I LOVE auctions!
So, I had to sort through all these books. I've been working on it here
and there, but the bulk of the boxes still had to be gone through. Yes,
there were the seemingly requisite collection of Readers Digest
Condensed Books and "vintage" Harlequin Romances... but I have to
admit, there were relatively few that I wanted to part with.
But I did it! I got them all sorted and the "keepers"—15 boxes worth of
"keepers"—put in storage. (We'll see just how tough those Plano
snap-together shelves really are.) A shame to have to store them, yes,
but until I get more bookcases, it will have to do.
... now I just have to move out the "senders"—and there are nine boxes
of those—and my dear husband won't have an excuse why he can't start
putting the tin ceiling in the dining room.
Hmmm. I wonder, did he get the books for me? or for him (to buy some precious procrastination time to start that project)? I guess it doesn't matter; either way, it was a win-win.

Snapshots of history
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
 They
say a picture is worth a thousand words – and I don’t doubt that for a
minute. Take a read through – and look through – our cover story and I
bet you’ll agree.
Life magazine, the second version of it, was the first all-photography
U.S. news magazine and dominated the market for more than 40 years. The
magazine sold more than 13.5 million copies a week at one point. People
couldn’t live without those pictures. Were the images powerful enough
to change history? Not necessarily. But they definitely captured
snapshots of time, of significant events, of our history.
If I say, think of Alfred Eisenstaedt’s shot of a nurse in a sailor’s
arms, snapped on Aug. 27, 1945, as they celebrated Victory Over Japan
Day in New York City, is there a person out there who can’t visualize
that photo in their mind? Not likely.
I am a big fan of photography. As a mother, of course, I take hundreds
of pictures every year to eventually scrapbook. But as an observer, I
am drawn to gripping images that move me to tears. Move me to think.
But also enjoy photos that bring an immediate smile to my lips or a
laugh in my belly. Photography is quite powerful.
I recently got my hands on anniversary compilations from two large news
magazines. The subject matter: 1968. With war abroad, riots at home,
fallen leaders and lunar dreams, Time magazine is calling it “The Year
That Changed The World.” And here I thought it changed because I was
born that year (you do the math). I figured something good had to come
of that year – though I am no competition for landing on the moon!
The special publications are an emotional read. The history is
incredibly interesting but the photos can tell the story, no matter how
celebratory or tragic, without words. That’s why I plan to keep these
“anniversary” magazines. I’m not building a collection. I don’t care
about their potential worth. For me, they hold a piece of history. A
snapshot of the world the year my history began.
And that’s one of the reasons people held onto their Life magazines and
others. One glance and they are transported to a different time, a
different place. They recall once again where they came from and see
how far they’ve come.
Antique Trader would like to know if you collect something – vintage
magazines, books, posters, you name it – that evokes emotion or serves
as a historical reminder or a personal one? Please share them with
other readers by e-mailing robyn.austin@fwpubs.com, or post a reply here.

A pretty penny expected at auction for first edition 'Emma'
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
Just a tiny mention here at The Press Association regarding the upcoming London sale of a rare three-volume first edition set of Jane Austen's "Emma," inscribed by the great woman herself to her governess.  I will plead ignorance here and tell you I've never read "Emma," or seen any of the film, PBS or BBC adaptations of it. Austen just isn't my thing, really, but I respect her place as a huge and enduring literary figure, and actually do regret the gap in my literary knowledge. Back inmy early 20s, when I was working a night job at Shakespeare and Co., on lower Boradway in NYC, my focus was really on Faulkner, Nabokov, Cormac McCarthy, Russel Hoban and a plethora of great Russians. Perhaps when my daughter gets a little older, and I have time to read a real book in large chunks, I'll pick up Austen. Oh well. The books are expected to bring about 50,000 pounds, or $100,000, depending on the exchange rate when the sale takes place June 24. antique | Antique Blog | Antique News | Antiques | Antiques Auction | Antiques Blog | Antiques Blogs | Antiques News | Auction | Ephemera

Not just a Jewish girl - The Jewish girl! Anne Frank postcard found
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
This story has made the various rounds of media - electronic, tv and print all - about the discovery of a postcard from Anne Frank - she of the famous diary bearing her name - to a friend just before the family went into hiding from the nazis.  I've held back from writing about it for various reasons. One was to let it make the rounds and see what sort of life it took on. Then the gem of the Web presenting me with exactly what I was waiting for. This headline: " Card from WWII Jewish girl discovered in Dutch shop." It comes from the Chinese Xinhua news agency - which I like to frequent for just this reason. Here's a word to them, though: Anne Frank is not just a Jewish girl. She's the Jewish girl. When I was growing up, Anne Frank was revered everywhere. School, my home, my synagogue, and at the Jewish Community Center, which decided to honor Anne the year I was 14 by producing the play version of The Diary of Anne Frank. I was up for the part of Peter - Man, how I wanted that part! I would've been great, too! - as the director, his name was Fred if I recollect correct, tried without gusto to find a younger Anne, he eventually cast the older pretty boy in the part. I think Fred later offered me a part in the "ensemble" cast of the JCC production of Grease, but I never even called back. My acting career was over by then. This good thing was gone.  Anyway, the postcard... It's a wonderful piece of ephmera, and a testament to the longevity and continued relevance of a Anne Frank's story. It is a tangible link to a girl whose unyeilding faith in the goodness of humans, even as they sought her destruction, has continued to inspire countless thousands of people more than 60 years after her death in a German concentration camp. It's a shame she is not alive to see how inspirational her brief life and writings have been to so many. It's interesting to ponder if it would still mean the same had she lived. antique | Antique Blog | Antique News | Antiques | Antiques Blog | Antiques News | Ephemera | Historic Preservation

Auction of recently uncovered Arbus photos abruptly canceled
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
Wrote about this a few weeks ago. A dealer in NYC sold a box of pics he found in a box lot for $3500. Turns out there was a trove of unknown Diane Arbus photos in there - very interesting ones, to be sure - and they're worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The dealer who sold them is suing the dealer he says duped him out of the find of his life. The sale was supposed to have happened yesterday, I think. Turns out it was abruptly canceled. Both the New York Times and our friend Kristi Roberts at Here Be Old Things have been covering this pretty well, so I'll leave it to them. Kristi was going to the sale, and even went by the showroom to get a sneak peak. I know that a lot of times it's buy and sell at your own risk in this business, and that they seller should have known that he was giving away a fortune at such a small price - the first clue should have been when the buyer who bought the box said, "there's nothing in there worth much at all, but I'll give you $3500 right now for the whole thing, no questions asked. 'kay?" Money is money, I suppose, and there are no rules that say you have to play fair. Or are there? The speculation is that the original seller may just hve succeeded in his lawsuit. We'll see later. antique | Antique Blog | Antique News | Antiques | Antiques Auction | Antiques Blog | Antiques Blogs | Antiques News | Ephemera | Modern | Modernism | pop art

Lincoln letter goes for more than $3M

And to think that I was willing to take a triceratops over this, if given the choice...  I love Honest Abe, but I stand by my decision. Besides, I just spent that last $3.4M on a new yacht. I'm a bit tapped at the moment. This is the Yahoo story, just breaking.

Papa's Brand New Bag on the auction block
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
When James Brown died on Christmas Day 2006, he left behind a lot more than one modern music's greatest catalogs of work, he left behind a life filled with turmoil and an estate that has been the subject of constant wrangling between his family, his adult children, his ex-girlfriends and his ex-wives. Finally, Christie's has stepped in and said, "That's enough!" I actually don't know if that's what Christie's did, but either way, t he venerable auction house will be auctioning of the possesions of the Godfather of Soul sometime this summer. This sale will include Brown's awards, instruments and all kinds of various posessions.  No matter what you think of the man personally, his influence on music was, and is, undeniable. He blended together many sounds and came up with something that was totally original, and musically, in his prime, there was absolutely no one more important. The interlocking parts of his songs were pure genius and made countless millions of people understand not only how music worked, but that they too could follow a few simple rules and enjoy playing music. For that, I do have to say, I miss Brown greatly. To see him covered with a jacket and walked, exhausted, off stage accompanied by one of his crew, only to ruh desperately back to the mic for one last chorus, or word - then to hear the crowd shriek with delight - makes you understand that he truly was... the hardest working man in show business. And I'd love to get me one them guitars...

Who can resist a rampaging ape? King Kong poster rages to $345K
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
Really, aren't we all suckers for monkeys? This massive and very cool King King poster recently brought $345,000 at a Profiles in History auction, and it's a real beauty. At 81-inches x 81-inches, it's also about the size of the big simian himself. I love the detail on this poster, and Kong just looks like he's about ready to rip everyone a new smile. What I don't like is that they have Fay Wray running in terror with Robert Armstrong and Bruce Cabot. We all know that Kong and Fay shared an unforbidden love that the world wasn't ready for back then. the studio could have, at least, put a hint of empathy in her eyes as she watched Kong destroy Manhattan. I still say the humans deserved it... The new owner of the poster isn't mentioned, but I'd be willing to bet it's a heavy hitter, if not S teve Geppi himself, who has the greatest collection of rare movie posters in the world at his museum in Camden Yards in downtown Baltimore, MD. antique | Antique Blog | Antique News | Antiques | Antiques Auction | Antiques Blog | Antiques Blogs | Antiques News | Auction | Ephemera | Historic Preservation | pop art

Atlantique City Day 2
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
Howdy folks. We made it through Day One of the March 2008 Atlantique City Antiques Show and, if I may speak for the staff and crew of Atlantique City - and I reckon that I can - Day one was pretty fantastic.
By the 9 a.m. early opening we had at least 2000 people lined up outside the door, many of them grabbing copies of Antique Trader and our various publications at the show, and the trafic flow was steady all day. While official numbers aren't available yet, I'd say we had at least 5,000 people come through the convention center and they seemed interesting. Quality is high, and uniform, and we heard some good comments from dealers.
The appraisal event went very well, too, highlighted by a superb Judy Garland dress, straight off the MGM lot, that ended up in - of all places - Milwaukee, WI. We have to wait and see if the pics cvame out, but I'll post them if I will.
At the end of the day we also hosted a gathering to fete Ellen Schroy and thank her for all her hard work - 28 years worth - on the Warman's Price Guide. Nice stuff, and Ellen is a great lady. She'll be missed on Warman's, but it's a good opportunity for Trader to get her byline in the paper, as we did with the 4/9 issue.
Sunday is usually a bit slower at shows, but there can be some serious buying going on, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for our dealers and ourselves, for a good day today, a smooth load-out tonight, and a nice easy flight home tomorrow morning. Last October we got delayed in Philly for 12 hours. Yuck.
Looking forward to getting home, getting back to work and regular blogging, and seeing my family. I love the East Coast, and have a lot of good memories from these shows and my childhood summers spent here, but I want to get back to Stevens Point, WI - wide open spaces, nice people and great beer - and get back in the swing of day-to-day life and work.
See you there.

Atlantique City - At last!
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
Howdy!
After a long week of vacation last week - agonizing, as you can imagine, spending so much time with my lovely wife and daughter in Phoenix and Las Vegas - I got into Atlantic City last Wednesday night. Travel was 13 hours from Vegas, with a few nighmarish waits in TSA lines at all airports.
It's time for good antiques and the Atlantique City Antiques Show.
We have spent two exhausting days getting the show ready, but as I write this morning, the show floor at the Atlantic City Convention Center looks beautfiul, there is a crowd of 2000 people waiting outside the door and we are hoping for a good show. We know it looks good, and quality is ubiquitous. Now we are waiting for the buyers.
The weather here is a bit chilly and overcast, which means good weather for antique buying, and the attitude seems to be optimistic, which is half the battle when there are such problems with the economy. I don't, however, have to tell any Trader readers that.
What I can tell you is that I'm excited for the opening of this show, proud of the hard work we've done and ready to see this thing come off a success.
If any of you out there are coming today or tomorrow, or go this weekend and read this later, give me a holler and let me know what you think.
I'll post more later today, hopeufully with some pics, but no promises...

Postcard collecting is alive and well!
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
From Sandy … not Noah or Karen! Postcard collecting is alive and well That was the feeling I got when I attended the 30th annual Michiana Regional Postcard Show on March 15 in South Bend, Ind. The doors opened at 9 a.m., and by the time I got there about 10:15, the aisles were already crowded with shoppers. It sometimes took quite a while before a dealer could break away from customers to chat with me.

Trader Question of the Week: What's the single most valuable antique you've ever bought at a show?
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
I guess it's only fair to open this question up to a broader range of sources, so let's say then: What's the single most valuable antique you've ever bought at a sale of any kind? How's that? When I go to a shop or a show, I tend to forget value and buy with nostalgia. This doesn't take me back too far, to the 1970s and early 1980s, so I always end up with a beaten-up Star Wars action figure, or dog-eared football card of some Dallas Cowboy I loved as a kid. Once, though, on a lonely Sunday while waiting for a movie to start in Downtown Waupaca, WI, I wandered into an antiques store to try and find something for my daughter. After an hour of looking, and believing I would leave empty-handed, I came to the last booth and saw it: A Lawson Wood print of two monkeys and a bear with the caption, "A good story, well told." I loved it immediately. The giggling bear, one wise ape scratching his chin with amusement, and one more monkey telling the story with an arm draped over the bear and a casual hand about to make the final point. The ground is littered with apple cores, nuts and banana peels. Simply awesome. Monetary value? Who knows? Sentimental, seeing my daughter's face light up whenever she looks at it and points, then says, "Papa!"? There's no value that can be placed on that. So, what's the single most valuable antique you've ever bought at a sale of any kind? Send your answer to me at noah.fleisher@fwpubs.com, or post your answer in the comments below.

Amazing Helen Keller pic found
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
I heard this on NPR this morning as I drove into work, then saw it again on the front page of my Web browser when I logged on. This is a link to the Yahoo story, but you can find it almost anywhere.It is a newly discovered picture of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, taken at the beach when Keller was eight. In it, as you can see, Sullivan stares intently at her puil, who seems totally at home and content, holding her tecaher's hand and - most importantly - a doll, the first word she was taught. I have always been especially moved by the story of Keller and Sullivan, and not just because Keller became one of the great humanitarians of the 20th century. This photo makes a good argument for the inherent intelligence a person is born with, and the human need to communicate, even when - to the outside world at large - it seems as if there is no way to do so. Keller was born blind and deaf, and was seeimingly a lost cause because of a terrible temper and being prone to violence as a child. Now, I would have been, too, if my perfectly functioning brain had no way to process or express information, yet there was an inherent understanding there. If ever there was an argument for Noam Chomsky's theory of language as a priori, then Keller is it. All it took was a little patience from Sullivan to bring it out in the girl, and one of the great humans in history was allowed to flower. What a moving and interesting story it is, and made all the more remarkable for such a great photo. As for the photo itself, taken casually in 1888, and stored in a family collection for almost a century, it is - almost - a masterul composition. The print is a bit faded, but the black and white are nicely contrasted, and the viewer is immediately drawn to the tenderness of Sullivan's gaze and, subsequently, to the placidness of Keller's. There is a great love and respect between the two, and it is only later - almost an afterthought - that we see the two holding hands just above the doll in Keller's lap. It is not hands in the midst of communicating, just simply touching and communing. Any of us who have ever had our own children or grandchildren hold our hand in the same way know of the intimacy and familiarity of this lovely touch. Truly, it's a beauty of pic, made more astonishing for its subjects. I do not even want to degrade it by speculating what it could bring at auction, as it probably will never come on the block and is priceless for what it conveys about two of history's most remarkable women. As an important peice of material culture and history, it is indeed a masterpiece and indeed without peer. The photo is in the hands of the the New England Historical Geneological Society. Here is a link to the press release and the photo, as pictured above.This is one of those unexpected, and moving stories that comes around out of the blue, and for which I am very grateful. Check it out.
