Potter & Potter Auctions is pleased to announce the results of this 477 lot event held on Oct. 25. The auction had a 94 percent sell through rate. All prices reported include 20 percent buyers premium. Our final sale of material from the Dawes collection brought closure to a century-spanning career in academia and the magical arts. Eddie Dawes was a consummate collector, but also a respected authority on the history of magic and its allied arts. Were thrilled with the strong results for the items from his storied collection (offered by us across some four auctions) and happy, too, that other collectors showed such great enthusiasm for Eddies treasures, according to Gabe Fajuri, president of Potter & Potter Auctions. The top lot in this sale was a poster titled Leon & Co., the Wonder Workers Present Fire and Water. Estimated at $10,000 to $20,000, it delivered $28,800. This framed, linen backed poster measured 87-by-39 inches and was published in London by Haycock-Cadle around 1910. This very scarce example is the only known full-color lithograph advertising The Great Leons whirlwind vaudeville show. The poster Chung Ling Soo / Has Reached the Highest Pinnacle of Fame was estimated at $4,000 to $8,000 and sold for $11,400. This ca. 1915 linen backed, color stone lithograph was illustrated with Chung Ling Soo (b. W.E. Robinson, 1861-1918) standing atop a mountain at sunset with a sword in his right hand and his left arm extended. It was published in London by J. Weiner. John Gaughan and Jim Steinmeyers book The Fantastic Orange Tree was estimated at $100 to $200 and traded hands at $7,200. This publication, a prospectus for Gaughans reimagining of Robert-Houdins incredible effect, was inscribed and signed by the authors inside the front wrapper. It was published in Los Angeles, Calif., around 1988. A suitcase of magic apparatus, music, and ephemera from the British performer Stanley Collins (1881-1966) was estimated at $800 to $1,200 and realized $6,600. The leather case contained conjuring materials of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. These included a set of Bakelite Cups and Balls, a hand-painted Troublewit, a card production frame, a single black wooden billiard ball, Collins own Spirit Slates, a variety of playing cards, sheet music, programs and other small articles essential to Collins shows.
