This New Hampshire birch dressing table was offered
by Arborfield Americana Antiques, St. Louis, Missouri.
Jan and Tony Leone are the proprietors. The table
features a “rolling pin” style backsplash and is raised on
tapering ring-turned legs. Its price was $1950. The brass
candlestand was tagged $1200; and the small circa 1820
Windsor stool with bamboo-turned legs and in original
green paint was priced at $750.
This shelf of pink luster ceramics was offered by Bill Shaeffer of
Shaeffer’s Antiques, Glyndon, Maryland. Among the offerings
were a bright quintal form bud vase for $525; a circa 1850 figural
candlestick tagged $150; a large 1820-30 pitcher, decorated with a
hunting dog on point, marked $475; and a smaller version of the
same pattern for $350.
Peg Lockwood of Zuni, Virginia, displayed an
18th-century oak shelf/plate rack. The top two
shelves of the rack contain
examples of English
delft plates. The plates
were marked $145 each.
The lower shelf displays
Chinese export items.
Those examples ranged in
price from $145 to $225.
The shelf itself was marked
$495.
Marc Witus of Gladstone, New Jersey, offered this
bucket bench, a very desirable form, featuring an
upper galleried shelf with three drawers below and two
fielded-panel doors concealing the lower storage space. It
was marked $3250. Along the shelf the large stone fruit
ranged from $195 to $695. The hourglass was marked
$495, as was the brass candlestand. The mixing bowls
ranged in price from $85 to $145. Witus also offered
several 20th-century miniatures by Pennsylvania artist
Frederick W. Walther (active 1925-50). The miniatures
ranged in price from $395 to $1250.
The “Miscellaneous” menu board just makes you
smile. Who could pass up “Frankfurts and Beans”
for 25¢? Bud Hughes of Bud Hughes Americana
& Folk Art, Stratham, New Hampshire, said that
the sign is likely from New York. It was priced at
$475. The firkins were marked $550 each, and the
crock with its nice brush design was tagged $225.
At opposite ends of the upper bench, the carved
wooden horse and the folk art climber were each
marked $125. The painted tin box was priced at
$115. Bud stated that the benches were not for
sale. He can always find a use for them when
setting up his displays.

Pennsylvania, offered on the top shelf an iron candlestand with
rush clip, $525; a Rhode Island pewter teapot, $250; and a
