David Bennett,Amber Mare

Signed,Unknown Year, Blown glass into and caged metal form, 24h x 12w x 20d • David Bennett, born in the Dalles, Oregon, 1941, has an impressive and diverse background. He was Captain in the United States Army from 1966-70. From there he became a lawyer from 1970-95. In 1991, Bennett established his personal glass studio, Bennet Glass, Inc. • He was on the Board of Trustees at Pilchuck Glass School from 1994 through present day. Then from 1998-99, he was President of Pilchuck Glass School. • Artisans have been blowing glass into metal forms for two thousand years. Bennett prides himself in pushing the technique even further. He makes complex forms in glass and bronze that he could not complete in either medium alone. As he’s stretched the technical process of blowing glass into metal, he has had more artistic freedom. His figures are lighter and wilder in their motions, and he’s been able to manipulate the glass around its armatures in increasingly playful ways. Photo by Jeff Dimarco

Fr. 2404* $50 1928 Gold Certificate.

This new to the census example is one of only three $50 Gold Star Notes to be graded higher than AU 58 by both services combined. The finest of the trio is a PCGS graded Gem Uncirculated 65PPQ example which we sold in 2014 for over $176,000, and the lowest of the trio of a PCGS Choice 63 example lacking the PPQ modifier, which has never reached the marketplace. This fully original and beautifully bright specimen fits right into the middle as the second finest known, and, coincidentally, displays the consecutive serial number to the PCGS Gem 65. Any estimate here is simply a surmise, but we will be as conservative as the graders were and say…
