March 12th & 13th, 2012
This auction was touted as including three historic collections. (1)The renowned Robert Howard Collection. Mr. Howard was one of the great collectors of the 20th century having an expansive, diverse interest in firearms for all periods, ranging from flintlock to 20th century arms. This collection was renowned for its condition, rarity and value. (2)The Dr. Lucie Collection of Bill Scagel knives and items. Considered to be one of the finest, if not the finest, collections of its type in the world today. Dr. Lucie is the recognized scholar on Bill Scagel and his items and recently completed a definitive book on Scagel. (3) The Wes Adams Collection of extraordinary Winchesters and Colts. Wes Adams’ collection, regardless of whether they were Colts or Winchesters, were a reflection of items of spectacular condition, rarity and value. His Winchester collection is considered to be perhaps the finest collection of its type to ever come to auction. In addition to these three historic collections was an offering of other outstanding items drawn from numerous other collections in the states. The response and participation was one of the greatest that the Julia Firearms Division has experienced in many, many years, which included a much larger crowd in attendance and double the number of absentee bids normally received. But as they say, “the proof is in the pudding” and the results clearly tell the whole story. The total low estimate of the items sold was a little over $10 million, but the gross realized (including 15% buyer’s premium) equaled almost $18 million. This landmark sale produced the highest gross every attained for any firearms auction in history and broke the previous record set by Julia’s of $12.7 million in March of 2008. The results are even more significant when including the results of the Poulin Auction Company that took place next door just preceding the Julia auction. The Poulin Company generated sales of $2.1 million. The combined total of the two auctions in this five day event equated to approximately $20 million!! The depth of quality, rarity and value was enormous in this sale. In fact, this unprecedented gross of $18 million was realized from the sale of less than 1100 lots! The average sale price per lot of all things sold was around $16,500! There were over 180 lots which sold for $25,000 or more; over 100 lots realized $50,000 or more; and 36 lots sold above $100,000. Regardless of how you measure it, the sale was a monumental success for not only Julia’s and all of the consignors but also sent a very strong and convincing message to the firearms collecting fraternity and the world as a whole that the firearms collection fraternity is still extraordinarily strong, active and positive. Julia’s next auction scheduled for October, 2012, will include Session II of the extraordinary Wes Adams Collection, together with other important collections. A special hardbound catalog will be produced on Robert Howard Collection only, within the next month or two. Price (with prices realized): $100 A special hardbound catalog will also be produced on the entire Wes Adams Collection after the March, 2013, and will include all of the items from the Wes Adams Collection, including Session I, II & III. Price: $225 Consignments are now being accepted for our important Fall 2012 Firearms Auction.

As the economy continues to rebound, the auction world is seeing increased optimism and stronger, pre-recession results. Julia’s recent two-day, 650 lot toy, doll & advertising auction saw tremendous activity and rocketed to a nearly $1.4 Million total against a pre-auction estimate of $1.2 Million.

Firearms Division
March 14 & 15, 2011
The clear message from our March 14th & 15th, 2011 firearms auction is that firearms collecting world is rebounding very strongly. Some extraordinary record prices scattered across a vast array of firearms niches, together with an ever-increasing number of bidders returning to the chase with a renewed enthusiasm and excitement, all bode well for the firearms collecting world. The low estimate of everything sold was a tad over $7 million and the total realized was just under $10 million. But despite record prices and a number of strong very healthy prices and lots of enthusiasm, there were still plenty of bargains and for serious collectors this is an excellent time to be expanding on their collection(s).

Some highlights of the sale were lot 2034, the engraved and gold inlaid 73 deluxe Winchester, estimated at $50,000-$100,000 which, after a furious bidding battle, ended up at $391,000! A set of three, gold-inlaid Kornbrath engraved Colt single actions, estimated at $300,000-$450,000, and realized $345,000. The much touted Westley Richards, .577NE which had belonged to renowned author Ernest Hemingway, carried a presale estimate of $150,000-$200,000 and went out at just about $340,000. A spectacular sterling silver Tiffany swords presented to General Lewis Merrill (from the Fred McDonald Estate) went to auction with a low estimate of $85,000 and a high estimate of $125,0000 and sold for just a little over $240,0000. Another exciting bidding battle was for the J.M. Small flintlock rifle with carved stock; estimated at $45,000-$65,000, it was a rare find and finally hammered down at $184,000; believed to be the highest price ever attained for a Kentucky rifle at auction. A Spencer carbine, forensically proven to have been used at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, was offered at $85,000-$125,000. Despite the selling price of $138,000 it was a very good buy; there are only a handful of these guns forensically proven to have been at the battle field and of the few in private hands, our firm has sold four of them in the past and most of them brought well above this in fact, one brought a multiple of what this one realized. A Fabbri best sidelock over/under .410 gauge shotgun from the Robert Petersen Estate, estimated at $80,000-$120,000, went out at $97,750.

The storied President Theodore Roosevelt Fox was a showpiece in the auction gallery and a record breaker on the bidding floor. Touted prior to the sale as “the most historic and most valuable American shotgun ever offered at public sale” this Fox gun, about which Pres. Roosevelt himself espoused that “ no better gun was ever made" indeed made history and proved the prediction right by selling for $862,500, becoming the MOST expensive American shotgun ever sold at auction! James D. Julia, Inc. now owns the American shotgun record books by consistently topping itself (ahead of the 2nd, 3rd & 4th expensive American shotguns sold at auction: an A-1 Parker Special made for the Czar of Russia that sold for $287,500 in March 2007, an L.C. Smith Deluxe, which realized $235,750 in March 2008, and Nash Buckingham’s beloved Bo Whoop which brought $201,250 in March 2010 all sold by James D. Julia, Inc.) But the tremendous results and successes weren’t exclusive to the shotguns! With over $10 Million in sales, Julia’s Fall classic was abound with stellar prices from the Winchester 1st Model 1873 "One Of One Hundred" at $373,750 to the $80,500 for the Rare Singer 1911 A1, the Spectacular Daniel Fraser brought $132,250 and the Colts of course made their presence known with a Rare Colt-Ehlers No. 5 Texas Paterson bringing $172,500 and a Cased Engraved 1860 Army & Sword achieving $149,500 and the three #10 Engraved Marlins from the Rohal Estate Collection featured on the 28th Blue Book of Gun Values realized $112,125. From Class 3 to historic Civil War and Confederate items, the quality and diversity could not be denied!! The sale showcased many fine, renowned collections and estates providing collectors of all levels ample opportunity to take part in the heavy bidding. With an average sale value of almost $12,000 per lot James D.

With the world’s economies still floundering, it is very hard to predict what auction results will be in today’s world. We came into this auction with thoughts of pride, anticipation and trepidation. Pride; for the extensive and diverse offering of fine art glass and lighting. Anticipation; because of the considerable amount of monetary value being offered. Trepidation; because of uncertainty of how the economic conditions might affect buyers. We are very pleased and proud to announce that the sale was a wonderful success totaling nearly $2 Million! Tiffany remained very strong with the highlight being the Tiffany Geranium table lamp estimated at $30,000-$40,000 and sold to the winning bidder for $63,250.

Our June 30 & July 1 Toy, Doll & Advertising auction was a tremendous success, grossing nearly $2.1 Million!  (nearly a half million dollars over a presale estimate of items sold of approximately $1.6 Million). The Bergmann Santa and sleigh pulled by goats brought a phenomenal $161,000 making it the most expensive American tin toy sold in the last 15+ years! It is also the most expensive toy of any type sold at auction in the last 2-3 years anywhere in the world. We and our consignors are absolutely elated with the results.  The Malcolm Deisenroth collection of early American tin toys was touted as the finest and most significant of its type to ever come to auction (and sales results certainly confirmed that). The collection brought approximately $1.04 Million against expectations of approximately $870,000. In addition to Deisenroth’s fabulous collection were other quality consignments including mechanical banks, coin-op, fine dolls, salesman samples, antique advertising, and more, many of which performed admirably including an all original Caille upright double slot machine that sold for $80,500 (est. $45-65,000).  In our present economy, it is very difficult to predict what auction results will be, but this sale proved that fresh to the market, quality goods that are reasonably estimated are still bringing strong money. See the Selected Highlights for more of the outstanding prices realized. Despite the great success, some items did not sell. Why not check the list of no-sales and contact Andrew Truman or Julie Killam if you wish to make a reasonable offer on any of the unsold items?  All offers made are subject to our buyer’s premium.

Bo-Whoop, Hair-Trigger Meldrum, and Nicholas Noel Boutet where some of the great stars in our March 15th & 16th auction. The sale grossing nearly $8.5 million , against a pre-sale estimate of approx. $7 million, was a tremendous success.
Nash Buckingham’s long lost and beloved Bo-Whoop shotgun, recently consigned to Julia’s became the 3rd most expensive American shotgun ever sold at auction when it realized $201,250 (the most expensive American shotgun was an A-1 Parker Special made for the Czar of Russia, sold for $287,500 by J.D. Julia in March 2007. The second highest American Shotgun was an L.C. Smith Deluxe also sold by this firm, in March 2008, which realized $235,750.) An extremely rare gold inlaid and engraved Colt Single Action, at one time presented to Robert Meldrum by the Tomboy Gold Mine Co. in Telluride, CO, sold for $258,750. The biggest star of the auction was a collection of extraordinary high-art gold and silver mounted flintlock pistols by Nicholas Noel Boutet. This cased set saw a great deal of bidding action and finally hammered down at $437,000. There were many other pleasant surprises throughout the auction and in general, as is the case with all auctions in this new economy, there were bargains scattered throughout, but most importantly there was strong bidding activity and in general all categories did quite well overall.

Our November toy, doll & advertising auction was a tremendous success, helping to make 2009 a stellar year for Julia’s. Thanks to our customers and clients and some spectacular collections and consignments, strong (and sometimes record) prices were realized for fresh, quality goods that were estimated conservatively. Our recent auction realized approximately 35% over low estimate and included highlights such as a rare Jumeau 211 screamer that brought $37,375. A salesman sample ice cutter sold for $7,130 against a $1,000-1,500 estimate. A scale model locomotive exceeded its $3,000-5,000 estimate to sell for $10,350. A rare Hoyt’s clockwork animated picture sold for $9,200 against a $4,000-6,000 estimate. A Lehmann “Busy Coolies” toy estimated for $2,000-3,000 sold for $4,312. A Yellow Kid gum vendor brought $12,075 over its $5,000-10,000 estimate and a “Whiffs of Fragrance” perfumer brought $9,200 against a $5,000-8,000 estimate.

Along with a capacity crowd, active internet participation and a telephone bank that, in several occasions showed 16 people standing, bidding was very active and proved that fresh conservatively estimated quality goods are still in demand and can fetch strong prices.

Our June 26th Toy & Doll Auction Pre-Sale Estimate was $796,000, but the price realized was $1.3 Million!! The very first lot, #1000 was estimated at $800-$1,200 and sold after a brief, but brisk bidding battle for $1,207. Lot #1001, the very next lot estimated at $3,000-$4,000 sold for $14,350. Lot #1002, estimated at $2,000-$3,000 hammered at $3,450. And so it went all the way to a very impressive total of $1.3 Million! The performance of the sold items was 63% over low estimate. A most impressive sale indeed. The best results for a Julia Toy & Doll Auction in the last two and a half years. Despite the declining economy, not only did their Glass & Lamp Auction the week before perform at $1.8 Million but it was also the finest offering to date this year at a Glass & Lamp Auction anywhere in the world. The Firearms Auction performed equally and admirably in March grossing $11.5 Million and was probably one of the finest offerings of antique firearms ever. None of this is a fluke. Late in 2008 with the declining economy, the Julia management team made a decision to take a somewhat radical approach to the depressed economy. Their new business model: “charge less and give greater service to both the buyer and the seller.” The success of this new model as exhibited by the past three auctions is unquestionable. The Toy & Doll auction was extraordinarily appealing for diversity, outstanding condition, rarity and most importantly reasonable estimates with few or no reserves. This auction was a buying opportunity and boasted one of the largest crowds present at a Toy & Doll Auction in recent years. The much touted “Julia Stimulus Plan” featuring the most competitive commission structures in the industry (and a series of amenable benefits to both the buyers and sellers) has proven to be just what customers are looking for in this down economy.

The talk in the art glass world for weeks prior to our June 19th & 20th auction was that based on quality, rarity, diversity and value, this was the finest offering of rare lamps and art glass to take place this year anywhere, and indeed it was. There was a breath-taking array of superb items and the response, despite the economy, was simply terrific. As was fully expected, with this downturn in the economy, not everything sold and there were more bargains than there were 1-1/2 to 2 years ago when the economy was very upbeat. But the really exciting news about this auction was that A) the sale produced over $1.7 Million in sales; B) it was the largest crowd in attendance at a Julia Lamp & Glass auction for many years with bidders flying in from as far away as Israel to attend the sale, but C) most excitingly was some of the results. Some of the rare things saw tremendous participation and extremely strong prices. Whether you have one item or an entire collection, contact us immediately.

Another extraordinary auction in extraordinary times. The gross sales result of $11.5 Million Dollars was obtained on $8.7 Million Dollars worth of low estimate or $2.8 Million Dollars over low estimate. 45 items brought over $50,000! 12 items brought over $100,000! 9 items brought over $200,000! Three items brought over $500,000!. The phenomenal Murphy collection was extremely well received with lots of bidding competition and high prices on these rare and extraordinary items, but the Murphy collection was not the only thing that shined as great prices were obtained for many of the fine shotguns and sporting rifles, civil war items, great Winchesters, Class III and 20th Century Military items. Of course, not everything brought extraordinary prices, as was to be expected, there were a number of very good buys in this auction, and one of the strongest reasons in the world for passionate collectors of firearms to stay active in these particular turbulent times. This is the first time in ten years that collectors have had an opportunity to attain some true bargains and smart perceptive buyers will continue to pay particular attention to both auctions, gun shows, and gun dealers offerings. Just as there are great opportunities in our country today, in businesses and stocks and real-estate, there are great opportunities in the collectible field. The results of the October 2008 and now the 2009 March sale, once again reflect the tremendous passion, resilience and confidence of collectors of antique and collectable firearms. Our industry is still doing well, none of us are in line looking for bail out money, nor do we have to be concerned about egregious bonuses, Ponzi schemes and stock frauds. Kudos to the passion and enthusiasm of the gun collecting fraternity!

While the economic downturn has undoubtedly affected every aspect of American business, we are very pleased with the outcome of our fall Lamp & Glass auction totaling over $1.6 Million. It showed once again, that very high quality art glass and lighting have certain immunity to negative economic conditions. Highlighting the sale was a fantastic Tiffany Studios red tulip table lamp estimated at $70,000 to $100,000 and sold for $109,250 also in the area of fine lighting was a spectacular Gorham leaded table lamp of very large size and spectacular color. The lamp sold for $47,150. Handel reverse painted lamps were extremely strong with strong competitive bidding running the prices to very strong levels. An outstanding Handel Jungle Bird from the Gaba Estate sold for $15,812 against an estimate of $10,000 to $15,000 while a Handel blue Chinese Pheasant table lamp sold for $27,600 against an estimate of $15,000 to $20,000. Quality art glass also showed strong values with a spectacular Tiffany Studios pastel candlestick setting a new World Record for a piece of Tiffany pastel at $6,612.
