The David and Marlene Howard antique collection will be auctioned on March 19th by Woody Auction

DOUGLASS, Kan. - Feb. 23, 2022 - PRLog -- The lifetime single-owner collection of David and Marlene Howard of Ohio – hundreds of quality antiques gathered over many decades of dedicated searching – will come up for bid on Saturday, March 19^th, at 9:30 am Central time, by Woody Auction, online and live in the Woody Auction auction hall at 130 East 3^rd Street in Douglass. In all, more than 450 quality lots will be sold.

"This collection is well above average because of the care and diligence the Howards spent finding only the best items," said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. "What makes it special is its sheer breadth, and this auction barely covers half of it."

Two lots could easily top the $10,000 mark. One is a gorgeous bowl marked R.S. Prussia, 10 ½ inches in diameter with a portrait décor and a lavender and white satin finish – the only known example of a Spring Season bowl in the Carnation mold. The other is an incredibly nice Regina upright music box, serial #3500107, fully operational and functioning with good sound. The music box, with 22 15-inch discs, has a mahogany case, curved glass, the original Regina label, double comb and a dial selector.

Many of the items are highly desirable glass pieces. There are many quality vases, to include these:

• A signed Daum Nancy French cameo art glass vase, 15 ½ inches tall, boasting a yellow, white, orange and amethyst mottled ground, fabulous cameo carved chestnuts and enamel highlights.
• An American Brilliant Cut Glass ("ABCG") vase in the Othello pattern by Clark, exceptionally well cut, 20 inches tall and weighing over 17 pounds, with a thick blank and huge hobstar base.
   
• A plated amberina art glass trumpet vase by New England, extremely rare, 9 inches in height.

A fantastic example of a chocolate pot marked R.S. Prussia (Iris Mold, Spring), 11 ¾ inches tall, has a rare keyhole spring season portrait décor and iridescent Tiffany ground with heavy gold highlights. Also offered is an R.S. Prussia chocolate set with ribbon and jewel mold, a dice throwers scenic décor and dazzling gold and opal jewel highlights. The set includes a pot and four matching cups and saucers.
