More than 500 items from the collection of a legendary Midwest rock radio DJ were auctioned in Indiana and examples of his rock-‘n’ roll memorabilia are featured in Kovels On Antiques & Collectibles November 2022 newsletter. Pictured with prices are prize items from rock luminaries like Led Zeppelin, KISS, Pink Floyd, the Doors and others, as well as a vintage “On Air Quiet Please” light-up sign from the radio station.

With the Thanksgiving holiday in mind, the Kovels searched a New York City auction for pieces to create a “collector’s Thanksgiving table.” Find an elegant Herend dinnerware set enhanced with Empire style candelabra, silver flatware and serving pieces, and even a whimsical Lettuce Ware tureen with their auction prices in the November newsletter.

A St. Paul, Minnesota, auction featured fine art and furniture from all over the globe, but it was the work of late-19th-century French cabinet maker Gabriel Viardot that caught the Kovels’ eye. Collectors who love curious curio cabinets to display their treasures bid high on intriguing examples with unusual shapes and Chinese- and Japanese-inspired details. Kovels’ pictures the top Viardot seller, a towering cabinet with glass sides, asymmetric shelves, and intricate bronze details that auctioned for more than $16,000, along with other Viardot cabinets and tables.

Moser has been one of Europe’s finest glass companies since the 1850s, with a colorful history of beautiful pieces and royal clientele. An Ohio auction featured 175 pieces of Moser glass, some dating back to the late 1800s. Experience its rich story in Kovels’ latest newsletter, which pictures a dazzling assortment of cut, cased, carved and enameled Moser glass, some with applied decoration, which sold from the hundreds into the thousands.

And last, but certainly not least, a bumper crop of farm advertising was auctioned in South Carolina. Kovels’ November issue pictures vintage agricultural signs and promotional items from “down on the farm” with eye-popping prices that prove they are collectible gems.

The Kovels go “on the road” to coastal Maine and share some quirky finds from the Maine Lobster Festival and local antiques shops. The November Dictionary of Marks identifies marks used by companies that made Amphora pottery in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Collector’s Gallery answers reader questions about a mixed media diorama scene of Amish life, an unusual English teapot, a Stickley Bros. hutch, and a set of German porcelain busts. And more than 70 antiques and collectibles are listed in the November Buyer’s Price Guide.
