Kovels’ June 2023 newsletter features sales reports on Danish mid-century modern furniture, petroliana porcelain enamel advertising signs, majolica and industrial design. Be sure to check out the Letter to Lee that announces change and celebrates the legacy of Terry Kovel.
We’re fans of industrial design. You’ll see why when you take a look at these devices and their sale prices.
A check for $175 is now worth over $100,000! How does that happen? Historical significance, pristine condition, and a famous — and famously rare — signature.
Q: I have a Jiffy Kodak Six-20 Series II camera. Printed on the box is: Made in United States of America by Eastman Kodak Co. Rochester N.Y. # 294. It is in fair/good condition and the size is approximately 6 inches by 3 inches. The box is not torn; however, the corners are worn. What can you tell me about it?
