 and rounding out the top pieces was Lot No. 25, a 6" X 13.5" two-part salad set by J. Hoare in their unusual and extremely heavy, blown-out Wheat pattern that sold for $10,000.

There were also 19 other lots that sold between $2,000 and $10,000 and 36 lots between $1,000 and $2,000. The remaining 289 lots sold at an average of $245 each. The higher end pieces, as usual, attracted very competitive and spirited bidding and some fine bargains were had by the watchful bidders. Every purchaser went home with their treasure carefully wrapped to add to their collection. No buyer’s premium was charged at this auction, so all prices reported are the total cost of the piece purchased.

As we expected the Woody family did an excellent job, with John and Jason Woody leading the auctioneering with many other Woody family members helping out. No next auction date was announced.
