THE 25TH ANNUAL 2006 FALL 

SAN FRANCISCO ANTIQUES SHOW  OCT 26-29

&

THE 13TH 2006 ANNUAL 

SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL POSTER FAIR OCT. 27-29 

FORT MASON

These show are both in the same complex on the same weekend and they are both exceptional shows. As usual I didn't see a lot of sports display antiques, But here's some shots of what I did

Michael Ogle of American Garage of Los Angeles was set up with a power booth of great American folk art. He had this incredible bicycle which is actually signed and dated J. Browne, Bedford, MA Nov. 2,1866. I can't imagine a greater example of an early American bicycle. Has the original paint with pin striping, and the original seat. Price: $27,000.00 . Michael said he got this out of Pennsylvania, and that he's had it in his bedroom, and that it'd be going back there if he didn't sell it.

I also saw a very rare George Bellows "Stag at Sharkey's" print offered by John Berggruen Gallery of San Francisco for $185,000. Very rarely will you ever see an original Bellows print at an antiques show, and that just goes to show how high quality this show is. I don't keep an eye on the print world, but I don't think I've ever seen an original Bellow's boxing print offered, even in a catalog., in the twenty years I've been in the hobby. I'd seen them in books, but this was my first opportunity to examine one in person, up close. Interestingly, it was hanging on the outer wall of the dealers booth, totally out of view of the dealer...$185,000.00 print! I asked the lovely young ladies in the booth if they'd had this print before. They said it was the first one. This is exactly why I always try to make this show, anything can happen in this environment.

I came in the last couple hours of the poster fair and only saw this one piece I was taken with. Not very athletic, but what a great piece. It's a 39 1/2" wide by 13 1/2" tall print produced in Italy c1900, of men on a hill in the process of launching gliders. Price: $1,800.00 without arm wrestling.I didn't get it but sure looked hard.
