Seeking glass with class? It's coming, Mar. 27 at Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates

MT. CRAWFORD, Va. – The future for glass at auction is clear – not to mention colored, striped and spotted. Renowned glass and Americana authorities Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates have announced dates for their 2010 specialty auctions to be held in conjunction with LiveAuctioneers.com.

The buying opportunities are set to begin on March 27 with a one-day cataloged auction of important kerosene lighting featuring the 30-year collection of noted lighting author J. W. "Bill" Courter of Calvert City, Kentucky. More than 300 especially choice selections from the Courter collection will be offered, as will part two of the lamp collection of Charles and Jane Knox of Copake, New York. Auction Central News will be running a detailed preview of this sale in the near future.

Other upcoming sales for 2010 include a Variety sale (April 23), Early Glass & Lighting (May 22), Americana & Fine Antiques (June 26) and two Antique Sewing auctions (Aug. 28 and Dec. 4).

Jeff and Beverley Evans have provided expert services to collectors, institutions, estates and the trade for more than 30 years. Jeff Evans is the former president and senior auctioneer of Green Valley Auctions, Inc. (1979-2008) and the head of GVA's specialty/catalogued auction division (1995-2008).

Effective January 1, 2009, Jeff and his wife/business partner Beverley withdrew their catalogued auction division from Green Valley Auctions and launched their new company, Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates, Inc. A newly constructed state-of-the-art auction gallery was completed in June 2009.  From their new facility located just across the parking lot from the old location, the Evanses continue to conduct the quality catalogued auctions of Americana and fine antiques that brought national attention to Green Valley Auctions over the years.

Their leaping-stag company logo is inspired by the decoration found on the circa-1800 Shenandoah Valley of Virginia hanging cupboard that brought the highest bid price in the history of Jeff Evans' cataloged auctions. Boldly painted by Johannes Spitler in red, white and blue, and featuring a six-point buck bounding diagonally across the door panel, the cupboard achieved a record price for American painted furniture when it sold on Nov. 13, 2004 for $962,500.

The fully illustrated catalog for Jeffrey S. Evans' March 27 auction will be available to view soon at www.LiveAuctioneers.com, where visitors may also sign up to bid absentee or live via the Internet during the sale.
