Owning George Washington: The Auction

of the collection is able to keep it to-gether, said Carol Borchert Cadou, thevice president for collections at GeorgeWashingtons Mount Vernon Estateand Gardens. Its fairly rare to have a

large amount of material survive to-gether in family hands. An object, if itcan be divided, often is. A piece of fab-ric, for example, might be divided intofive pieces, and the one piece that sur-vives is tiny and frayed.

There is a thriving market for any itemsintimately connected to Washington,

Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jeffer-son, Mrs. Cadou and other expertssaid.

Theyre going to do very well at auc-tion, John Reznikoff, a Westport,

Conn., dealer in presidential relics anddocuments, said. It happens that fam-ilies keep things for a long time, hesaid, but what doesnt happen is that itbecomes shared with the rest of theworld, these things connected to ar-guably one of the greatest personali-ties of our time. Washingtons

surveying tools alone could easily gofor six figures, Mr. Reznikoff said.see Washington, page

of both outsize and ordinary Americansin pivotal centuries. Part of the collec-tion, the Bushrod Washington Familypapers, includes correspondence, legaldocuments, land deeds and other

items, among them letters from andabout the widow of Alexander Hamil-ton, inventories of slaves, and a recipefor cement sent to Washington atMount Vernon. In a family that includeda Supreme Court justice (Bushrod) aswell as the first president, there are let-ters from George Wythe (who signedthe Declaration of Independence) andRichard Peters, Washingtons secre-tary of war. They are being offered byHeritage Auction Galleries.

It is quite remarkable when a steward

There weremore tangible connections as well:family papers going back to 1662, toolsGeorge Washington used in his earlyyears as a surveyor, even bits of hiscoffin. Now, after generations of safe-keeping, the family is selling its treas-ures at auction starting Thursday,creating a buzz of excitement among

Americana experts.

Not only is such a sale by an old familyunusual, those experts say, but the size

Real estate auctions A sign ofour times

In todays real estate market we seem tobe hearing a lot about real estate auctions.In general, people have a lot of questionsincluding, how auctions work?, Can I get abetter deal by buying at Auction ? Who arethe sellers? How Long Does the Buyerhave to close? Are the titles to the proper-ties free of liens & encumbrances, and ahost of other questions.

It should be understood there are typicallytwo types of real estate auctions. First,there are Bank Forced Auctions where theproperty has gone into foreclosure and it isthen sold on the court house steps. Thisauction is used by Lenders to legally take

back the property from its owner, once indefault; usually these properties are pur-chased by the banks or mortgage compa-nies.

The second type of auction is a Self Di-rected Auction. This is used by sellers andbanks as an alternative marketing methodto generate activity on a specific property.This auction is usually a win/win situationfor both the Seller and the Buyers.

Sellers use this auction to accomplish twothings. First, it is used to establish the fairmarket value to establish the fair marketvalue of the property which the public isready, willing and able to pay in todayscurrent market. Second, it is used to sellthe property quickly without a lot of contin-gences, which eliminates holding costs

and expenses.

Buyers generally participate in Real EstateAuctions with two goals in mind.

SATURDAY, MAY 28th at 10:00 A.M.Rusty cars that could be worthmillionsIt seems too good to be true. A car thatwas abandoned and forgotten in agarage for decades is discovered --and it's worth a mint!

Case inpoint: Thiss u p e r -c h a r g e dB u g a t t iw a sparked in agarage by its then-owner in the early1960s and, for some reason, simplyleft there for half a century.

In February, 2009, this unrestored car

was sold at auction for $4.4 million.

But how is it possible that a car worth$4 million can go unnoticed for somany years?

In some cases a car that may notseem particularly exciting to its ownerat the time is parked in a barn orgarage and forgotten about, said TomCotter, author of "The Cobra in the

Barn" and several other books aboutthis phenomenon. Only later, when aknowledgeable person finally cracksopen the barn door, is its true worth re-

vealed.Then it's known as a "barn find," and it'srare. For car buffs, it's an almost myth-ical concept. But, unlike Big Foot andMermaids, barn finds really do exist.Today's car collectors often prefer theircars unrestored, in what is called "pre-served" condition, looking every bit asold as they are. "A car's only originalonce," said Cotter.

This Shelby Cobra, parked in a shedin the early 1970s and left there until2004. Purchased and restored by anew owner, it's value was listed bythe auctioneers at Gooding & Co.between $525,000 and $625,000

Willard tall clock tops Converses auctionat $32,900

MALVERN, Pa. A gorgeous early19th century Simon Willard tall-caseclock, signed Warranted by S.Willard on the dial, sold for $32,900

at an estates auc-tion held April 23by Gordon S. Con-verse & Co. Theclock was thesales top lot.

The Simon Willardclock was ex-pected to do well,and it did not dis-appoint. The dialwas attributed to

the workshops ofCurtis and Nolen

in Boston and was attached to aneight-day bell strike clockworks. Thehood was surmounted by three brassball finials. The clock was housed in aFederal solid and veneer mahoganycase, with flared French feet, giving ita majestic stance at 93 1/2 inchestall.

Willard clocks overall are highly de-sired by collectors. It was BenjaminWillard who first began making clocksin his small, rural Massachusettsworkshop, in 1766. His youngerbrothers Simon, Ephraim and Aaron

learned the trade and began athree-generation clockmaking legacythat endures today.

Simon is best known for inventingand patenting the so-called banjotimepiece in 1802.

A 16 1/2-inch mystery clock made

circa 1835 and at-tributed to RobertHoudin (French,1 8 0 6 - 1 8 7 1 ) ,boasting a gilt

bronze and glasscase and the orig-inal carved gilt-wood stand,brought $11,750.The clock is so-named becausethe hand appearsto move aroundthe glass dialwithout any form of assistance, mak-ing it a mystery. But to Houdin, a ma-gician, it was no mystery at all.

In reality, a rod was run up throughthe pillar and was connected to a fur-ther one going along the right hand ofthe top of the case. A worm screwwas attached to this and was con-nected to a second invisible glass dialset behind the main one. The handwas attached to this through the frontdial, thereby turning as the rear glassturned. It was basically a clever opti-cal illusion.

But illusion was Houdins game. Hewas so revered a magician that HarryHoudini took his name for himself.Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin (theHoudin part was his wifes maidenname) was the most famous illusion-ist of his time, having given perform-ances for Queen Victoria andNapoleon. While he was a great in-ventor and a pioneer in applying elec-tricity to horology, mystery clockswere his trademark invention. Somehad an enamel dial, others a glass

dial.

Bernie Madoff's booze goes onthe auction blockOnline auction will include pricey Chateau Mouton-Rothschild

wine and stained mini-bottles of liquor; Proceeds go to victims

(CBS/AP) NEW YORK Pair yournext filet mignon with a red wine fromdisgraced financier Bernard Madoff'sexclusive cellar.

The U.S. Marshals in the Southern Dis-trict of New York announced Mondaythat Madoff's wine and spirit collectionwill be auctioned online. Proceeds of

the sales are togo to his vic-tims.

The auction isscheduled forWednesday.

Madoff is serv-ing a 150-yearprison sentencefor mastermind-ing a multibil-lion-dollar Ponzi

scheme that robbed hundreds of vic-tims around the world of their invest-ments.

The online auction Wednesday was

expected to raise $15,000 to $21,000,Reuters reported, with proceeds goingto victims of Madoff's Ponzi scheme.

"It is an eclectic collection," KimberlyJanis of Morrell & Co Fine Wine Auc-tion, which is conducting the auction,told Reuters. "There are some lots thatare truly good wine, but there are itemsthat aren't typical of wine collectors,and are of more interest to people look-ing for Bernie Madoff memorabilia."

The pickings range from a case ofChateau Mouton-Rothschild, a Bor-deaux from 1996, valued at more than$3,000 to mid-range wines and even a

lot of the two-ounce liquor bottles soldon airplanes and in hotel mini-bars.

The U.S. Marshals have also an-nounced that they will be holding a liveauction of the contents of Madoff's for-mer mansion in Palm Beach, Florida,on June 4.

The Marshals have previously heldseveral auctions selling off Madoff'spossessions, extravagant and mun-dane, in the same fashion.

In November, an anonymous bidder

paid $550,000 for a 10.5-carat dia-mond engagement ring that belongedto Madoff's wife, Ruth. Ruth Madoff'sFrench diamond earrings fetched$135,000.

The man who became a symbol ofgreed and deceit on Wall Street alsohad a lavish collection of watches. Oneof his vintage steel Rolex "MoonPhase" watches sold for $67,500, top-ping a $60,000 minimum estimate.

The Manhattan sale was the last ofthree auctions in New York of Madoffbelongings. Another was held inFlorida.

In 2009, an embroidered Mets jacket inwhich Madoff was often pictured, soldfor $14,500.

Madoff was arrested more than twoyears ago and quickly admitted hisscheme. Investigators said he used bil-lions of dollars in cash from new in-

vestors to pay old ones, cheatingcharities, celebrities and institutional in-vestors.
