The Hess Auction Group held one of its antique specialty auctions on June 18 at its Conestoga Auction Co. facility in Manheim, Pa. Online bidding was available through Live Auctioneers and HiBid. The sale consisted of 545 lots from many consignors, but most came from an estate in Marietta, Pa., Gary Gladfelter of York, Pa., and Sam Stayer (deceased) and Lee Stayer, formerly of Mount Joy, Pa. The items ranged from stoneware, china, artwork, textiles, furniture, and over 40 lots of music boxes, phonographs and related items from Gladfelter. Prices reported include an 18-percent buyers premium. The highest selling lot was a rare Jacob Eby Sheraton mahogany shelf clock, which sold to the Manheim Historical Society for $30,680.
