Other standouts in Scott’s booth, many of which were perfect for the holiday shopping season, included a circa 1900 Christmas linen banner of Washington Crossing the Delaware advertising Interwoven Socks, an early Belsnickle ice cream mold, a late 1800s horse pull toy that was found in the Alsace Lorraine area of France and was used as a display rdf_Description in print ads for Harden Furniture and a circa 1900 hand-carved, red oak American eagle that was made by either James or George Huntington, who were ship carvers from Randolph, N.Y. As a customer paused to study the shelf and confirm its sale, Scott commented that she could have sold that particular rdf_Description several times over the course of the weekend. Early on in the show, Scott, who also holds the distinction of being the president of the Bucks County Antiques Dealers Association, sold a pair of brass candlesticks and a wall shelf (that handsomely held a grouping of pewter teapots, mugs and plates). It was not surprising that Eleanor Scott from Penns Park, Penn., who trades under the name The Red Sleigh Antiques, should sell an early sleigh that was reupholstered by Scott in, you guessed it, a reddish colored fabric. And on November 29-30, the Delaware Valley College in Doylestown (Bucks County), Penn., also proved to be a “prize” location for some fertile sales as attested to by the 43 dealers who participated in the 74th Bucks County Antiques Dealers Association Show.
