: A strong two-day Americana auction took place this past weekend,
May 21-22, at Pook & Pook Inc.
A Bucks County landscape by Harry Leith-Ross led the way. The
painting, estimated at $18/25,000, was actively bid by numerous
telephone bidders and several in the gallery, with it ultimately
hammering down at $131,500.
Other top lots included a George Stapf carved and paint decorated
spread winged eagle with shield and flag that sold for $52,900, a
full bodied carved eagle on ball and base by John Bellamy went
out at $46,000 and a paint decorated Schwenkfelder dower chest
realized $43,700. A complete review will appear in a future
issue.
