An assemblage of collections found in the Massachusetts towns of Haverhill, Groveland, Georgetown, Ipswich and Newburyport will all come together in an online-only timed auction planned for Thursday, November 7th, starting at 7 o’clock pm Eastern time, by John McInnis Auctioneers, based in Amesbury.

Five outstanding and specific collections will come up for bid, totaling more than 300 lots, all of which will be sold without reserves (to the highest bidder, regardless of final price), and all bidding starts at just one dollar. Collectors in the following categories need to mark their calendars. A chance like this might not come again to add to their collections. Here they are:

- Circus Posters. Around 30 rare and vintage circus posters will cross the auction block, mostly from the 1930s and ‘40s. These include full sheet, half-sheet, double sheet and triple sheet posters, featuring more than one of the famous Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Mr. and Mrs. Gargantua the Great “gorilla” poster (one a triple-sheet).

- World War I posters. There are about 20 of these, in varying degrees of condition.

- Railway and Trolley Items. This collection has an emphasis on buttons and badges, and will really appeal to ‘vecturists’ (collectors of rail tokens). Included in the collection are uniform buttons, hats, clothing items, badges, photos and postcards – a collector’s dream.

- Local Postcards. Multiple offerings of well-known local postcard collectors will all converge, with a heavy emphasis on Haverhill, Mass. and Essex County, but with other Massachusetts towns included. There are hundreds of postcards, some of them mounted and framed. Also offered are other memorabilia, to include an 1832 map of Haverhill.

- Antique and Vintage Padlocks. Many people may be surprised to learn that padlocks, are a category of collectible, but they are, and this lifetime collection of around 50 padlocks (many with keys) contains mostly 19th century examples, but with some dating to the 18th century and some from the 20th century. Some padlocks boast fine brass work.

Lot #1 is a triple-sheet example of the “gorilla” circus poster, with a starting bid of just a dollar. For those who would like to inspect the items prior to sale, there are two live, in-person previews scheduled, both in the John McInnis Auctioneers gallery located at 76 Main Street in Amesbury. They will be held Friday, Nov. 1, from 2-6pm; and Saturday, Nov. 2, from 9am-12 noon Eastern.

Next up for John McInnis Auctioneers after this auction will be the sale of a book collection dedicated to alchemy; and a three-session sale at the gallery that will focus on Americana, paintings, and more of the usual turn-of-the-year items. Both sales have dates to be determined.

Beachwood, OH, USA, November 1, 2024 -- A Bvlgari 18K white gold and pave diamonds Serpenti viper ring more than doubled its high estimate to finish at $11,685; an Hermes Ebene Clemence Birkin 42 shoulder bag realized $8,610; and a men’s Rolex Sea-Dweller Deep Sea wristwatch rang up $6,765 in Neue Auctions’ online-only Property of a Gentleman auction held on October 18th.

The tidy, 191-lot auction featured a single-owner’s collection of luxury items, jewelry and art. Most of the artwork was purchased from galleries in California over the last 20 years. The luxury items, including fine watches and jewelry, were in nice condition, some with original box and papers. Very few items had reserves. The Friday noon start is now standard for Neue Auctions.

The dazzling Bvlgari Serpenti viper ring in 18K white gold boasted 1.74 carats of brilliant-cut pave diamonds. The ring, one coil, came with the original boxes and weighed approximately 9 grams. It easily blasted through its $3,000-$5,000 pre-sale estimate to be the auction’s top lot.

The Hermes Ebene Clemence Jean Paul Gaultier designed Shoulder Birkin 42 bag, with Palladium plated hardware, lock, keys, clochette, dust bag and original box, sold within estimate. Another Hermes bag, a Birkin 40 bag, Ebene Barenia Faubourg, in brown leather with palladium plated hardware, full leather lining, dust bag and original box, brought $6,072.

The men's Rolex Sea-Dweller Deep-Sea stainless-steel watch with oyster case, style 116660, had a rotating bezel, a domed synthetic sapphire crystal and titanium alloy case back, a helium valve at 9 o'clock, and a black dial with white hands. It came with the original box and papers.

It wasn’t the usual Neue Auctions sale, and the numbers bore than out: 71 percent of participants were first-time bidders with Neue Auctions, while the remaining 28.4 percent were returning bidders. Bidders came from 20 different countries (although 93.3 percent were in the U.S.). Second and third runners-up were Canada and the UK. The farthest away was New Zealand.

“This was a different sale for us, as we usually handle antiques and older works of art,” said Cynthia Maciejewski, a manager at Neue Auctions. “We’re hoping to receive more auction consignments like this in the future. It's a competitive market and there are several auction houses in our area. Fortunately, we've been able to stand out amongst them in our industry."

Following are additional highlights from the auction. Internet bidding was facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Prices quoted include a 23 percent buyer’s premium.

A Cartier Panthère de Cartier white gold, diamond and emerald ring, so-named because it’s in the shape of a panther, set with about 72 brilliant-cut pave diamonds totaling 0.68 carats, went for $5,658. The ring had inset emerald eyes and a black onyx nose, plus two original boxes.

A book titled David Hockney, A Bigger Book, published by Taschen (2016), a collector’s edition packed with pages of artworks by the renowned artist, on a tri-color metal and Plexiglas stand, achieved $3,690. The book, number 6905 of 10,000, was signed by Hockney on the frontpiece.

A Cartier 18K white gold 'Juste Un Clou' bangle bracelet, size 19, a hinge and clasp bracelet in the form of a nail, marked Cartier, with original box, exterior box and booklet, hit $4,305.

There were several surprising sleeper lots in the sale. One was an assortment of 18K gold and sterling charms by Tiffany & Co., Pink and Monica Rich Kosann. The group had a total approximate weight of 90 grams and sailed past its $300-$500 estimate to garner $1,599.

Another was the Hermes sterling silver Chain D'Ancre link bracelet with 14 links, stamped AG.925 with hallmarks, weighing 2.60421.ozt and 81 grams. The 9-inch long bracelet was listed in the auction catalog with an estimate of $500-$900, but it ended up settling at $1,599.

Lastly, and more whimsically, a contemporary blue metal dragon figure, 28 inches tall, in very good condition, was supposed to hammer for $75-$150, but bidders pushed that to $861.

Next up for Neue Auctions is the sale of the Charles Hartman & Associates Collection, Curated by Time & Taste on Friday, November 22nd; and an American & European Antiques auction on Friday, December 13th, both online-only, with start times of 12 o’clock noon EST.

An untitled (Countryside Landscape View of a Church) pastel on paper painting by Hughes Claude Pissarro (French, b. 1935), signed lower left and measuring 10 inches by 14 ¼ inches (minus the fame, which measures 16 ¾ inches by 20 ¾ inches), is expected to change hands for $3,000-$5,000.

A Louis Courvoisier (1758-1832), Courvoisier & Cie, Louis XVI period 'Pendule' D'Officier' carriage clock, the ormolu case applied with embossed rosettes and boughs of oak in a wreath, with a hanging ring motif of a snake biting its tail, plus paw feet, should hammer for $2,000-$4,000.

An English, circa 1820 Regency (or William IV) mahogany and mahogany veneer sideboard, having double sarcophagus-form pedestals with inlaid doors, lift-top cellarette, four-drawers, and rising on front paw feet, 41 ½ inches tall by 85 ½ inches wide, should command $2,000-$4,000.

New Hamburg, ON, Canada, October 26, 2024 -- An outstanding single-owner collection of vintage and antique toys, many of them rare German and Japanese examples, plus Canadiana and historic objects, will come up for bid in two days of online-only auctions slated for Friday and Saturday, November 8th and 9th by Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd., with different start times for each day.

The November 8th sale of toys, 208 lots in all, featuring the Phil Barnett collection, is an online-only auction with no live webcast portion. Lots will close in sequential order beginning at 5pm Eastern time that day. The November 9th sale of Canadiana, Toys & Historic Objects will close via live webcast starting at 9am Eastern time that day; more than 360 lots will come up for bid.

“The Phil Barnett collection affords collectors of toys, Canadiana and oddities a rare opportunity to pick from his treasure trove,” said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions. Ltd. “Phil is a great storyteller. Every object he collected tells a story and he took pride in his toys. From Bing to Bandai, you’ll find rarities like nowhere else, with condition that only a trained eye could vet.”

Many of the higher-dollar lots can be found in the November 9th session. These will be led by an extremely rare circa 1920 lithographed tin eight-man scull with coxswain toy made by Gunthermann, one of the elite German toy companies. The magnificent large toy (29 inches in length) depicts a racing team in blue and white uniforms on a light brown scull. It has the same synchronized rowing action as a real scull and carries a pre-sale estimate of $10,000-$12,000.

All prices quoted in this report are in Canadian dollars.

Equally scarce is the circa 1905-1910 lithographed tin toy depicting a Coupe Gordon Bennet No. 5 race car made by the Siegfried Gunthermann Adolf Weigel company. The toy retains the original toy and passenger and is in very good original condition, with the chain-driven clockwork mechanism tested and working. It’s a toy that rarely comes to auction and is found in some of the world’s best toy collections and museums. It’s expected to bring $8,000-$10,000.

An American Kentucky flintlock rifle made by Nicholas Hawk (1782-1844, Monroe County, Pa.), .46 calibre, with a barrel length of 31 ½ inches (and overall 47 inches long), should hit the target for $6,000-$8,000. The barrel is signed “Nicholas Hawk Gunsmith” in script on a brass inlay and the stock is tiger maple. Hawk built a reputation for producing high-quality firearms detailed with intricate brass and silver engravings and inlays, and this rifle is a fine example.

A Canadian Pequegnat “Nelson” Hall clock with a quarter cut oak case, made during the Berlin period (1904-1916), is considered the rarest of the Pequegnat Hall clocks. Only a few are known to exist. Features include a key, original pendulum stick and bob, original finish (with overall crazing), original beveled glass, original acorns on chains, original weights, a Berlin signed movement and a full label on the rear door. The 81 ¼ inch clock should realize $3,500-$5,000.

Switching over to November 8th, a German 1930s lithographed tin T-694 toy motorcycle with sidecar, made by Tipp & Co., a company known for their high-quality and realistic toys, has an estimate of $2,000-$3,000. It’s a great display piece, boasting excellent gloss and color, and is tested and working, in very good original condition. It’s marked “Made in Germany” below the driver’s left foot and “Dunlop Cord” on the wheels. The Tipp & Co. logo appears multiple times.

A German 1930s lithographed tin delivery cart made by Saalheimer & Strauss, in very good condition, should roll away for $2,000-$2,500. The company boasts in its 1932 catalog: “Our motorcycles are steerable and with dust-tight built-in rear wheel. The coaches are removable.” The toy is marked “Made in Germany” to the driver’s left and “Dunlop Cord” on the wheels.

A Japanese lithographed tin toy Ford Edsel made by the Asahi Toy Company is expected to reach $1,200-$1,500. It’s in very good to excellent original condition and the friction motor is tested and working. Asahi was a major post-war manufacturer of mechanical toys with an emphasis on scale-like models of then-contemporary vehicles. They had a Santa Claus logo.

Also up for bid on November 8th, several lots are expected to finish at $600-$900. Included is a 1950s German lithographed tin toy Arnold Mac 700 motorcycle, marked “Made in U.S.-Zone Germany.” After World War II, when American authorities occupied certain parts of Germany, toys, in order to be exported out Germany, had to be marked, “Made in U.S.- Zone Germany”. This toy is marked “Mac 700” on the gas tank and “Arnold” on the wheels and top front fender.

A 1950s Japanese-made Packard Patrician toy car, made by ALPS, considered one of the quality Japanese toy makers, has an estimate of $1,200-$1,500. The 16 ½ inch vehicle, marked “ALPS made in Japan, is tested and working, even retaining the original hood ornament. The Packard Patrician was more prestigious than the regular Packard. It was built for the upper class, the elites, as a way for Packard to keep pace with luxury auto makers like Cadillac and Lincoln.

A German 1930s four funnel tinplate windup toy ocean liner, likely made by Carette or Arnold, is a great display piece showing a good overall patina. It’s 9 inches in length (est. $600-$900).

A Japanese 1950s lithographed tin toy Edsel with the original box, made by HAJI, is estimated to hammer for $600-$900. HAJI produced primarily toy cars for only a short period, from 1951 to the late 1960s. Their toys were of high quality and today are highly sought after by collectors. This example is tested and working and is in very good condition. It’s marked “HAJI” on the box and the rear of the front seat bench, “Edsel” on the rear side panels, and “E” on the hubcaps.
