Dealer Wins $132,250 Basket at CRN

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.
: A fine Chumash basket left the auction room spellbound when it sold for $132,250 at CRN Auctions' May 7 sale.

Part of an impressive assortment of merchandise offered at Carl Nordblom's Annual Spring Auction, the tightly coiled basket was made of juncus, sumac and grass and measured 91/2 by 12 inches.

Action came from the telephones and several in the room with it finally selling to the trade in the gallery.

Another top lot was a carved and painted eagle attributed to Maine carver John Bellamy that sold for $34,500.

A complete report of the sale will appear in a future issue.
