(PRWEB) July 02, 2015

Antique music boxes auctioned in Ohio are featured in a sale report in "Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles" July 2015 newsletter. See pictures and descriptions of magnificent music boxes that sold for high prices, including a Swiss singing bird automaton music box that brought more than $24,000. Hundreds of perfume bottles sold at a New York auction for $100 to over $67,000. See eye-catching figural perfumes—a Dior dog-shaped bottle with its silk dog house box, an airplane, tank, wine barrel and leather-coated dandy—along with their fancy prices in Kovels' July issue. And four recent online auctions included insulators, those "glass things" that topped wooden telephone, telegraph and power lines years ago. Insulators are prized by collectors for their color, unusual designs and history. Prices peaked at $3,850 for a fiery opalescent insulator made in the 1920s by Fry Glass Co. A sampling of insulators is pictured and priced in Kovels' latest newsletter.

Kovels' July issue reports growing interest in garden furniture. A Philadelphia auction offered many antique garden pieces that compliment modern gardens. Top lot was a pair of French cast iron and enamel planters with lion mask handles that sold for over $10,000, but there were tables, benches, gates and chairs for any budget. And Kovels' takes a bike ride down memory lane with pictures and prices of bicycles auctioned in New York. An 1888 Pony Star high wheel safety bicycle topped $16,000, while other 19th- and 20th-century models cruised from $11 on up into the thousands.

Kim Kovel reports on the Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art. The popular illustrated Collector's Gallery answers readers' questions about a pixie cookie jar, a 1970s streaker poster, an old ice crusher tool and Red Wing Kashmir dinnerware. The July Dictionary of Marks lists marks used by California's Pacific Pottery. And prices of dozens of antiques and collectibles are listed in the Buyer's Price Guide.
