: An Eighteenth Century silver salver by Myer Myers surprised many
as it became the top lot at Skinner's Americana sale this past
Sunday, November 6. The 81/4-inch circular tray with scrolled
edge and shell decoration and supported by short cabriole legs
ending in pad feet was made in New York City, circa 1746-1776.
The lot generated a frenzy of phone bidding and sold on the phone
for $99,500, well above the $20/30,000 estimates.
A full report of the sale will appear in a future edition.
