Witman Auctioneers Feb. 20 multi-consignor auction in Manheim, Pa., had no internet bidding. There were 214 registered bidders. The father and son team of Luke and Clarke Witman are off to a strong start this calendar year. The following are a few of the items that sold. All prices reported include a 10-percent buyers premium. An Abner Zook 3D diorama winter scene with red covered bridge sold for $25,300, and an Aaron Zook 3D diorama of an interior quilting scene brought the same amount. The former used to hang at the now defunct Heritage Center of Lancaster County. A Hattie Brunner (1966) summer/fall scene with a large stone house and horse-drawn carriage in foreground sold for $10,450. A winter scene (1971) with a red covered bridge, farmhouse, and horse-drawn sleigh brought $9,900; a winter scene (1970) with a church and locomotive in foreground sold for $9,350; and a (1971) winter scene depicting a pond with ducks realized $7,700. Brunner (1889-1982), of Reinholds, Pa., is today first known for her primitive watercolor farm scenes. It is hard to imagine she has been gone for nearly 40 years, but for decades she was better known as an antiques dealer, a very influential one. Beginning in the 1920s, Brunner bought and sold some of the finest Pennsylvania German folk art in existance. Material from her business (her shop was called The Tulip Shop) is in most major American museums today. She had a nationwide coast-to-coast customer base. Among her customers was Dr. Albert Barnes, founder of the Barnes Foundation. A retrospective exhibit on her career took place in 2010 at the Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley in Ephrata, Pa. Her artwork, which she began to paint ca. 1958, especially active from 1965-75, is in great demand in todays market. In fact, it is a red hot market. Another highlight was a collection of early touch marked silver flatware selling for $19,250. A group of four Ken Payne bronze southwestern statues in the style of Frederic Remington sold for $7,350. A 120-piece Herend Hungary raspberry pattern china set went for $2,300. An Eames mid-century chair and ottoman realized 2,100, and a Henkel Harris breakfront cabinet, $2,100. A Hamilton U.S. Navy Chronometer watch sold for $1,320, and a 1992 Olympic Medal coin set, $1,100. A U.S. Springfield rifle sold for $605, and an Ansonia statue clock, $495. It was a strong sale across all categories. For additional information, call Witman Auctioneers at 717-665-5735.
