Woody Auction will step into spring with an American Brilliant Cut Glass auction on Saturday, March 16th. The sale will feature outstanding single-owner collections and will be held online and live in the auction hall located at 130 Third Street in Douglass, Kansas. Start time will be 9:30 am Central time. The March 16th sale is nicknamed a “Presidential Auction Weekend” because it features the collections of two past presidents of the American Cut Glass Association (and because it’s sure to make headlines). The collections of Wilbur and the late Mary Bluhm (ACGA president, 2006-2008) and Leon and Carol Torline (ACGA president, 1998-2000) contain some of the most profound pieces of brilliant cut glass. “These dedicated collectors spent decades collecting some of the finest examples of ACG out there,” said Jason Woody of Woody Auction, adding, “This is an event not to be missed. It will be highlighted by a rarity beyond description – a centerpiece in the Crystal City pattern (aka Wedding Ring) by J. Hoare, with a sterling ring that takes your breath away.” The lot has an estimate of $20,000-$25,000. Here is an online link to the catalog: www.liveauctioneers.com/woody-auction-llc. Bidders are encouraged to register 48 hours in advance. Absentee bids will be accepted with a written statement indicating the amount of the bid. The deadline is noon Thursday, March 14th. Absentee bids will be charged a buyer’s premium of 15 percent of the selling price plus shipping (10 percent when paying by cash or check). Telephone bidding is available for lots with a low estimate of $1,000 or greater for the March 16th auction (low estimates can be found on LiveAuctioneers.com).
