Rafael Osona Auctions’ Annual Spring Daffodil Weekend Sale Highlights 1948 Red Willys Jeepster & Nantucket Specialties
Apr 27, 2024 09:30 EDTThe Annual Spring Daffodil Weekend Auction from Rafael Osona Auctions will take place this April. The sale features a 1948 Red Willys Jeepster. The Jeepster has the original four-cylinder Jeep motor that runs smoothly. The other components like the carburetor, fuel pump, and generator appear to be functional. The exterior is Luzon red. Up front, it has a bright chrome bumper and bumper guard. In the back, it has a spare tire with a cover. After World War II, Jeep trademark owner Willys began producing “CJ”s (Civilian Jeeps) for farmers, foresters, and workers with similar utilitarian needs. The Jeepster was a crossover from their “utilitarian” trucks to the passenger automobile market. The Jeepster was only made for three years by Willys-Overland Motors, making it a rare collectible.
Robert Stark Jr.’s oil on canvas titled Fast, depicting night surfcasting, is another notable lot. Robert Stark Jr. (1933 – 2014) was an American post-war and contemporary painter. Stark was mostly known for his luminist paintings, principally in oil on canvas and panel depicting the Nantucket landscape, sailboats, and coastal life. Another notable lot is a hand-knotted, sky-blue Caucasian vegetable-dyed woolen carpet with 200 knots per inch. The sale also offers a Nantucket basket cocktail purse and other collectibles.
