Applebrook Auctions gathered a collection of folk art, carnival fare and Midcentury furnishings for its September 24 sale, offering the Gary and Christi Manne collection.

Borenstein characterized the sale as good, with solid attendance and phone and absentee interest augmenting the in-house bidders.

Even before the sale, a Nineteenth Century oil on canvas painting of six cows †three white and three brown †grazing near a watering hole in an open field was getting a lot of interest, he said.
