JohnnyCrystal piece was purchased a few months ago in Birmingham from an estate sale company (-----). The estate was the final estate for Mr. Mr.s Adolph Henry Meyer of Birmingham Michigan. I have a warehouse about 6 miles away. Their Americana Collection was sold through Sothebys bringing over 11 million dollars with a Townsend kneehole desk bringing 3.4 million dollars shattering a record that at that time was about $900,000...anyways this company had the sale of which it was kept low key meaning they advertised it as an Antique sale. Wefound this out just a few weeks ago that the house was the actual house and contents that Sotheby\'s did not put through their sale from about 17 or 18 years ago. So we got the things that were left over! The estate sale company would not let us know who the estate belonged to...it was a nice house although on a wonderful rural setting is somewhat modest compared to others. One of the ladies said that it was a prominent family that rubbed shoulders with the Fords..but we hear that all the time.....This is how I found out exactly I was standing in line about 2 weeks ago when I overheard a fellow stating that he got a signed book from an estate sale titled \"Masters of Americana\" (The collection of Adolph andGinger Meyer) I heard him say that when he opened the book to look at it and pictures inside the book was of the interior of the house he was standing in...minus the furniture ..of course...so that the book meant something as it was signed and dated and dedicated to the family....furthermoreand the estateoriginally had some worldclass collection of Important Americana. When I had overheard this I asked him what sale was it and he said (-----)estate sale in Birmingham with all the great primitives etc. he replied and I had told him that I bought bucket loads of stuff from the house......anyways to make a long story short Israel Sack along with Jes Pavey put the collection together...

Here issome info regarding the sale....The January 14, 1996 issue of Britain\'s The Independent reported- \"The sale next Saturday of the best collection of American furniture to come on the market for 20 years - the Mr and Mrs Adolf Henry Meyer collection - is a big event. The sale at Sotheby\'s New York is expected to generate fierce competition between aficionados. Adolf Meyer and his wife Ginger began to collect in the 1950s. They had just moved into a house furnished by Ginger\'s aunt (in Victorian style) when Ginger stopped off in Birmingham, Michigan, at the antique store of one Jes Pavey, an American furniture enthusiast. He saw some fake antique fire irons in the back of the car and pointed them out. \"What can I do?\" asked Mrs Meyer, horrified. Pavey sold her a genuinely old set. Two days later, she rang Pavey and said, \"Would you hurry over?\" he recalls. \"She said: \'Mr Meyer is here and getting ready to go to the office. Come over and drive in the driveway, so he can\'t get out.\'\" Before Pavey left, he\'d been commissioned to redo the house in American style. \"Meyer told me, \'When you find something you think fits in this house, we\'ll discuss it and send you a cheque.\' He wanted the best.\" According to the Meyers\' grandson, Pavey was 99 per cent responsible for the collection. Adolf Meyer was born in Michigan in 1893, the son of a German immigrant carpenter. Leaving school at 15 he joined Detroit\'s motor industry and founded two hugely successful companies, American Screw Products and Vulcan Forging, which made him his first and many more millions. The realisation that he couldn\'t have made a fortune from scratch in this way in any other country brought on an acute attack of American nostalgia. In 1960, the fever gripped him to the point of establishing the \"Americana Foundation\", a channel for buying and donating to public institutions (tax deductibly) antique American furniture and decorative arts. The White House and the reception rooms of the American State Department in Washington have been the chief beneficiaries of the foundation\'s generosity. Jackie Kennedy got a Federal mahogany dining table, a Simon Willard lighthouse clock, and a Federal mahogany settee with four matching chairs. She held a dinner party at the White House in honour of the Meyers. Pavey was a stickler for original condition before it became fashionable and all the Meyer pieces show signs of wear and tear. A striking example is the Philadelphia Chippendale-style walnut armchair of around 1750, estimated to fetch $40,000-$60,000. It has a robustly carved back, nicely curved arms and claw-and-ball feet, but its greatest glory is the leather upholstered seat from which stuffing is now liberally escaping. \"It even has 18th-century rose-head nails,\" enthuses Lesley Keno, Sotheby\'s expert.\"
