Lot 1143		Shalom Moskovitz: Published Under Shalom of Safed. Six (6) Vintage Lithographs of Biblical Stories (1896-1980) Six very colorful, whimsical interpretations of Old Testament stories. These particular lithographs were signed in stone and published in NYC The lithographs themselves within the black margins are in wonderful condition with vivid colors. Just outside the black lines a gallery "whited out" "Shalom of Safed, Signed in Stone Doron, N. Y. C." Attempts to remove the liquid paper correction fluid helped mitigate three of the lithographs, the others haven't been touched. Lithographs were previously matted with mounting tape discoloration at top left and right corners evident on each lithograph. All these issues are reconciled with fresh mats and framing and well worth the effort! Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000 View details and enlarged photo	Unsold

Lot 1148		Supremely Rare Oversized 1904 Coca-Cola Card Stock Sign of Lillian Nordica in Remarkable Condition. One of the most highly sought after and important pieces of Coca-Cola advertising from the early 20th Century. In the 1900s Coca-Cola aligned with the most popular opera singers of the time to market their product. It was felt these women brought the beverage the class and distinction to rise above other beverages. Lillian Nordica was selected for her acclaim on stage and opera where she proved a formidable force. In 1904, this dramatic and very Victorian style portrait was produced in several sizes. The 18 x 24 image is the one that has appeared in several auctions in the last 20 years. But this large 43 x 28.75" poster has not appeared in some time. Condition: Outstanding. The poster has had no restoration whatsoever. There is very tiny flecking pretty much limited to the lower portion of the wardrobe screen with roses and the ribbon on her dress, and there is a hairline paper split in her face. Consignor was well aware of the leading paper conservation studios in California but decided to not engage in any touch-up, irrespective of how discrete. The result is an artifact from Coca-Cola's earliest days, supremely well kept, unrestored and going on nearly 120 years! This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the single most premium examples of Coca-Cola's marketing history. We will be shipping without its frame to maximize safety in transportation. Estimated Value $10,000 - 15,000 View details and enlarged photo	Realized $10,313

There are just a minimum of tiny pits scattered throughout and just a very few scratches. The verso exhibits overall oxidation and two small spots can be seen on the right side outermost rim. Also on verso, consignor has a thin wire to hang tray using to small dollops of adhesive which proved quite fine way to display. This is by any definition a treasure worthy of any level of collector.
