DENVER, Pa. - Ask any collector of Halloween, Christmas or other seasonal antiques and they'll tell you that every day has the potential of being a holiday, whether the calendar says so or not. On September 11th, Morphy Auctions will offer collectors 890 reasons to celebrate in a fantastic Holiday Auction featuring rarities from several renowned specialty collections. Internet live bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com.
The first 42 lots in the sale are from a wonderful collection of Halloween candy containers and lanterns assembled over the last 20 years by Connie and Jay Lowe of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The rare, early German-made items in this collection are of superior quality and are completely fresh to the market.
"Having the opportunity to acquire pieces from a collection as fine as Jay and Connie's does not come along very often," said Morphy's CEO, Dan Morphy. "There are so many highlights, it's hard to predict which ones will do best on auction day."
