DOWNINGTON, PENN. — Three lots hit the top selling price at Pook & Pook’s sale of the collection of Paul and Rita Flack on Saturday, October 13. The first to bring the top price – $39,040 – was the cover lot, a rare and possibly unique Conrad Gilbert watercolor full-page drawing of a gentleman. It went to a phone bidder who purchased the next of the top lots, a Charles Hoffman watercolor landscape of the Lunatick House of Northampton County. The third of the top lots was a fraktur attributed to the Oley Township artist of Berks County with mermaids that had been in the Dietrich collection. It sold to a trade buyer in the room.
