The upcoming sale at Doyle will feature fine art, Asian antiques, and furniture from the Montgomery County Lady Collections. Among the top lots is an 1887 painting by Susan Catherine Moore Waters. Susan Waters was among the first American women painters who specialized in painting portraits and animals as a profession, visiting towns to get commissions, a method more typical of men during the 1800s. Unlike her female contemporaries, Waters signed her paintings using her name or initials in legible, cursive writing. Her paintings usually featured detailed settings but also depicted figures in stylized positions and poses. The available work, titled Guarding the Sheep, is an oil on canvas and is signed by Waters on the lower side. Other notable works of fine art in the catalog include an 1876 oil on canvas painting by John Charles Maggs, titled A Coach Driving Across a Bridge. The artist gained fame for depicting the energy and tensile motion of moving horses in his portraits of English coaches and hunters. The offered piece is dated and comes with the artist’s signature in the lower left corner.
Another lot of interest in this auction is a reverse-painted glass chandelier by Danish-born glass artist Ulla Darni. Her pieces are unique works of art depicting the artist’s original designs on hand-forged ironwork. A thumbprint and Darni’s signature appear on each piece.

Among the top lots is an Edison stock ticker from circa 1900. This piece comes to auction on a cast iron base. Atop is an ink box, paper spool, and glass dome. A plaque on the ticker shares the following history: “This authentic old self winding stock ticker was designed by Thomas A. Edison in 1870. It was used for about eighty years for receiving stock and commodity quotations from the nation’s leading exchanges.” American inventor E. A. Calahan created the first stock ticker in 1867, aiming to minimize the inefficiencies of having messenger boys rush between offices with stock market information. Edison built on and improved Calahan’s invention by making it smaller and smoother to operate. It was one of Edison’s first inventions, and it helped catapult him to fame.
Elsewhere in the catalog, bidders will find assorted arcade games and mechanical curiosities. This includes a fortune telling arcade machine featuring a silk-clothed donkey that spins a ship’s wheel to tell the player’s fortune.
