C1907 OIL PAINTING OF 

JAMES J. CORBETT

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT 

BOXING CHAMPION 1892-1897

 Sold for $1,920.00 

incl. premium in Legendary Auctions

 

This should more aptly be under Carlton's "Latest One That Got Away". I found this 1907 oil painting of James J. Corbett at the last minute. I had received the inaugural Legendary Auctions catalog about a week before it closed. However I'd been so tied up with my new Sports Antique of the Week feature that I never had time to look thru it. Although I had done a cursory of the auction on-line, I missed this painting. On April 30, 2009 I was in a restaurant thumbing thru the catalog as I ate when I came across it about 1:00PM the first day of the auction. It got my attention enough that I scrambled to the front of the catalog to see when the close date was. To my surprise it was closing that day.  I called right there on the spot and asked what lot they were on. The guy explained it wasn't a live floor auction and the painting wouldn't close until late that night....he said the latest bid was $750.00, and so I hit it at $800.00 and immediately got out bid by a left ceiling bid. I hit it again at $900 and to my surprise was top bidder....that night I had to hit it again at $1,300.00. But got shot down later....that's where I folded. With bidders premium it sold for $1,920.00. 

 

I have no regrets, it just didn't hit the gotta have it level for me to keep chasing it. However I will say any good  boxing painting from that early is very rare, they hardly exist. Much less one of a world champion. I've never seen one before. And the quality is formidable...enlarge it and look at the face and hair....that's a heck of a painting! Plus it has a period/likely original frame. There is no mention of an artist signature in the catalog; but not having a signature can be overlooked if the work is of exceptional quality, and this painting would qualify.

Corbett in exhibition with Peter Courtney

 

James Corbett won the World Heavyweight Championship from John L. Sullivan Sept. 7, 1892 in New Orleans Louisiana. The bout was also historical for being the first World Championship fought under Marquess of Queensberry Rules, and for being the first time boxing gloves were worn.

This is the greatest basketball painting I've ever seen. I've not even heard of anything like it, so it may be the world's greatest. The colors, the lighting, the size, the realism of the environment, are what galvanize it. The back says it all regarding it's age, if you click the photo on the left. I believe the elevated bleachers are typical of  Y.M.C.A's in the eastern United States. Interestingly, there were only three bidders...my piddly $1,800.00, plus two floor bidders, one for $3,500.00 and the $4,250.00. This is a classic example of greatness I like to bring you on this site. -Carlton

PORCELAIN DECANTER PITCHER 

12 INCHES TALL

I was the under-bidder on this Yale baseball pitcher at $888.88, but got sniped. I have a mug with the same illustration, so I believe it originally came as a set with  probably 6 or so cups. The seller advised in the listing there was no makers mark, however my mug is marked on the bottom the "Laughlin Art China" I don't recall ever seeing this pitcher before, so I know it's rare. I believe I have seen another mug like mine for sale though, I think it was on eBay. What a great piece. Sure I wish I'd gotten it! Click here for more detailed photos

I attended the Grass Valley Old West Antiques Show, in Grass Valley California on Saturday May 13th 2006. The show is incredible and one of the best antiques shows in the country. I was too pressed for time to do a story on this years show, however I'll post a photo of the best thing I saw...an 1899 bicycle race poster from Carson City Nevada. I was so taken I forgot to measure it, but it was big, framed it was about 40 inches tall by 30 wide. It sold to renowned collector Peter Sidlow of Las Vegas for $4,500.00. It was not only the best thing I saw, but probably the best bicycle poster I've ever seen. Congrats Peter!

Circa 1890 Edwin J. Gillies 

football coffee tin at top center

 

I did find one item at the show....a circa 1890 Edwin J. Gillies coffee tin with an illustration of a football game. My friend John Bounaguidi was set up, and had gotten gotten two of these tins, one white, one red, out a a Hunt's auctions a year or so ago. He had the red one at the show and offered it to me for what he gave, which was $considerable$. I think it's a little faded, as I've seen another red one that wasn't. I couldn't make up my mind, so John told me to take it home and see how it works in my collection. I worked it in with my other tins and it looks pretty nice, plus my girl friend Barbara thinks I should get it, so darn I guess I'll have to now...it'$ only money!

 

If you can believe it, the Gillies Coffee Company is still in business, and they have a website with they're history. Seems they were a major player in the coffee business in New York City starting in 1840. Click here to read they're interesting story.

 

I've only seen a few examples of this tin in 18 years, and always wanted it. I'd sort of like to wait for one in a little better condition, but they're so rare I suppose I better bite the bullet while this one's available. Not only are the football graphics really nice, but it's American...not Canadian, not bloody English! On top of that it's one of the best depictions, of 19th century American football used for advertising, and I think it's the only tin with 19th century football.
