:A rare blue painted box with yellow and red foliate decoration
was the top lot at Cyr Auction Company on August 3. The auction,
a two-day sale featuring the collection of New Hampshire dealers
Tom and Nancy Lindsey, featured a large selection of Americana on
Wednesday and was followed the next day with a selection of
Native American and rustic items. Cyr reported large crowds for
both sessions as well as active phone bidding and a host of
absentee bids.
Bidding on the rare box, measuring 16 by 36 by 13 inches, was
brisk with the lot selling to a Maine collector present in the
room for $23,000.
