Harold Newton's work

Sometimes the unexpected comes out of hiding.

Here's an example of that, posted on eBay just this morning.
Usually when I write about eBay, I point out forgeries and alterations, as they do exist.

This time, I can see that this is absolutely genuine and I know, although the seller has no feedback as of yet, that he is a legitimate seller .........
............as well as an appreciative collector of Harold Newton's work.

I make it my business to know who's who and what's what in this market.
Roger is a guy you can trust, gentle readers.

Here's what I wrote to him just now:
Dear floridaartauctionsinc2010,

Roger, this is very cool. Of all the HN's I've seen, this is my first time for this scene in these colors and such brightness. Nice rare size, too.

This piece must have kicked Willie Daniels off and running. I've seen his virtually exact copy of it hundreds of times.

I'm going to post it in my blog. regards, BOB

Now I'm not going to give you advice on other people's merchandise very often.
After all, Roger and I are competing for your available dollars, but I was struck by the similarities and I just couldn't let it go unnoticed.
