Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles July 2009 issue is now available in print and online. In this issue Terry Kovel writes about the brand-name vintage clothing sold at a recent auction in Pennsylvania. Successful bidders took home outfits designed by Christian Dior, Oleg Cassini, Bill Blass and Pauline Trigere, many for under $1,000. Other picture-price reports featured in the July issue are Classic bicycles, Hector Aguilar Sterling Silver Service, Cracker Jack Toys, Herter Brothers Furniture, Walking Ware Pottery, and Modern Table Lamps. Also included are maker’s marks on Walking Ware Pottery and Terry’s comments on the right time to sell your collection, as well as hotlines, collectors’ questions, and the popular list of 50 up-to-the-minute prices.
