An R.S. Prussia bowl and a Regina upright music box lead the way at Woody Auction's March 19 auction

DOUGLASS, Kan. - March 28, 2022 - PRLog -- A gorgeous Spring Season bowl marked R.S. Prussia in the Carnation mold soared to $24,000 and an incredibly nice Regina upright music box, fully operational with good sound, brought $15,400 at the sale of the lifetime single-owner collection of David and Marlene Howard of Ohio held March 19^th by Woody Auction, online and live at Woody Auction's auction hall in Douglass.

What made the R.S. Prussia bowl so desirable to bidders was the fact that it's the only known example of a Spring Season bowl in the Carnation mold. The bowl, 10 ½ inches in diameter, featured a portrait décor and a lavender and white satin finish. The Regina upright music box, serial #3500107, came with 22 15-inch discs, a mahogany case, curved glass, original Regina label, double comb and dial selector.

"Having the opportunity to sell the collection of David and Marlene Howard, who regularly attended Woody Auction events since I was a child, was truly exciting," said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. "Any time you get to sell the only known example of an item means you are part of history – and a very small club – and that's very special. The Howards spent time finding only the best items."

Mr. Woody added, "This auction barely covered half the collection. The other portion, with a spotlight on children's dishes, will be featured in the coming months. That will be an online-only auction, slated for later in the year." Mr. Woody said the Howards were frequent attendees at Woody Auction events through the years. They only recently made the difficult decision to downsize and sell their collection.

Following are additional highlights from the auction, which had a grand total of 470 lots. Around 50 people attended the sale in person (30 were registered bidders); 903 others participated online (via LiveAuctioneers.com). They placed a combined total of 2,105 bids. All items were offered with no reserves and there was no buyer's premium, so long as a bidder in attendance paid by cash or check.

A table lamp by Pairpoint, 20 ½ inches tall, with a Venice shade having yellow and white panels with a large pink rose décor, electrified, with a signed shade and marked base, went for $7,700. Also, a signed Daum Nancy French cameo art glass vase, 15 ½ inches in height, boasting a yellow, white, orange and amethyst mottled ground, fabulous cameo carved chestnuts and enamel highlights, commanded $3,450.
