COLUMBUS, OHIO — Garth’s January 7 Americana sale included collections of architectural models and windmill weights, along with Illinois furniture from a 40-year collection assembled by an Illinois doctor. Included was a group of decoys from another collection, along with folk art, Native American material, painted furniture and more. That it was a varied sale was demonstrated by the fact that of the top ten lots, only two could be considered similar to one another. A seagull confidence decoy flew to $6,000, an unusual small Sheraton worktable made $5,700, an architectural model of a Lancaster, Penn., church found a new home for $2,760, and a third phase Navajo chief’s blanket earned $3,375. The windmill weights included salesmen’s samples, the Native American material included weavings and the folk art offerings included gameboards along with carvings. Prices quoted include the buyer’s premium as reported by the auction house; watch for a more extensive sale review in a future issue.
