Auction and new Continental photo




Updating the auction information: the sale will include 100s of pieces of vintage aluminum gift wares from the collection of Dan & Hope Overmeyer.


The companies represented include a wide range of makers including these:


 Wendell August Fordge, Palmer Smith, Buenilum, Everlast, Continental, Arthur-Armour, Bruce Fox, Cellini-Craft, Shup Laird,J. Braun, Guildcraft and more.
Wendell August vases w/La Mirada
ceramic insert.







The ball feet indicate this is
Palmer-Smith


These tall flower candlesticks are 
NEKRASSOFF. The accepted 
knowledge of  his work is that 
he did not work in aluminum.



The candle snuffer, lower right, is Cellini; upper right is J braun.
Several companies added these bakelite type touches of decoration
to their wares, including Shup Laird.



These Everlast pieces are more familiar!
I was given a link to the auction company's website but have found no information on getting a catalog. Perhaps in the next update.

NEWS:
Two names have been added to the HACA page; also a few prices on the Sale page. Additions to a page of photos has some problems.

While checking over some of the items pictured I was reminded of an unusual on the Continental ice bucket in the Corduroy pattern. See below.



More auction photographs soon and perhaps some information on their catalog.
