Locati LLC of Maple Glen, Pa., presented its October online-only sale from Oct. 7 to 21. With over 400 lots, this sale featured estate jewelry, fine art, furniture, silver and more from various collections and estates from Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Among the auction highlights included were a Guerman Von Bohn (German 1812-99) oil-on-canvas, which realized $2,100, and a 19th-century French cut-glass clock, which sold for $1,000.
"Unusual items always do well at auction. Two examples in this sale were the pelican bookends by Cowan and the plaque by the New Jersey Architectural Terracotta Company, in Perth Amboy," explained Locati. "We always do well with small Chinese gems. One example is the lot of three snuff bottles that sold for a strong $2,300.
