Auction number 15 «Quinta Decima» company «Znak." Brief statistical overview
on 19 November, the firm "Znak" held an auction number 15 "Quinta Decima".
Overall impression — pleasure of the ensuing action.
But — in order. The auction was held in the hotel "Marriott Royal Aurora" — a place convenient and in a sense traditional. Saturday afternoon, cars with flashing lights in front of the hotel in two rows. To say that it was visitors to the auction, one hundred percent not take, but it seemed to me.
there were few Visitors, about thirty people, mainly serious men over forty. "A little bit" — an abstract value, akin to the question "What is the heap?". The usual situation, where the auction itself involved 10-15 percent of those who sit in the hall. At this auction-то bought almost everything, and if you look at the attendance from this point of view, it had a lot of people.
the Trades were well organized before was the opportunity to look again at lots in person. Directory — thick book large format hardcover (400 lots no joke) and great quality. A good leader and correct Seating of Manager phones. All the tunes on an interesting spectacle — and it took place.
Sold 53 percent of lots, of which nearly 30 percent of the serious bargaining. Five or six steps of Torg — common, 15 and 25 steps is not an exceptional case.
had the feeling that the present interest is primarily caused not even the individual lots, and the whole Thong. And interest (or inattention) to a particular directory partition fueled a great mood in the hall.
so, a little statistics. Not call the fight this time sections: "Foreign orders and medals" (from the 8 lots sold 2, without bargaining), "Award medal" (out of 26 lots sold 9), "Booms and securities" (18 of 47 lots sold, and almost all absentee rates without bargaining with the parties present in the room).
Increased demand for the several sections, in particular "Order". Sold more than 50 percent, and all with a serious struggle. The most expensive purchase — lot # 24 "the badge of the order of St. Prince Vladimir I degree with swords" (hereinafter, a detailed description of the lots given in the General catalog). The sign went for 11 million rubles for the start, was bought without haggling over the phone.
usually traded at the same time several people in the room telephone absentee bid. Dramatic exciting was the auction for lot # 63 — "Silver medal Romanowski decorations "For works on agriculture" III degree".
From the start of 1 400 000 rubles for the 25 steps the price rose to 7.5 million. They fought several people in the room and two telephones, a 25 step phone took a pause that lasted 5 minutes, the room froze. After a difficult meditation phone refused, and defeated people in the room.
Great interest was the section "the Signs and tokens of the USSR": 31-го lots sold 20 — and all with a crazy passion for wrestling.
for Example, the sign "Svir'stroy 1928-1934" for 11 steps 20 thousand rubles increased by fourtime and left over 80 thousand, were traded for the "Svir'stroy" 3 people in room and telephone.
Most bitter struggle broke out for the signs of the "Supreme Soviet" republics of the USSR. For example, the mark "the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR" from the start 30 000 reached 210 thousand, and sale sign "the Supreme Council of the Udmurt Autonomous Soviet socialist Republic", which, starting with 10 thousand rubles, in the end went for 110 thousand, a hall and is met with applause.
When it came down to section "Awards white movement", my assumption is that in the audience were connoisseurs of the Soviet period of our country, is not true: all the awards of the white movement, too, was sold.
Photos of records did not put, a weak interest only genre scenes, mostly parades, and buy them in the price range of 20-30 thousand rubles, portraits business size demand not used.
was a Very popular section "the Commemorative medal". Of the 94 lots were bought by 80, and almost all with starting prices in excess of two — three times. Bought all — from the medal on the occasion of "150-летия the Imperial Academy of Sciences in 1876" to "the world's First cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Star city. Of the USSR".
Results and the process of trading is encouraging. There are in our country, no matter what, and collectors who have the means for their collections, and investors. Were these bid and those and others. For the first such auction — is an opportunity to Supplement their collection of rare things, for the second — safe to invest in liquid assets. In addition to store and transport (especially in transport, times-то difficult) these items easy. In the bidding excitement and desire to win sometimes clearly outweighed pragmatism and mathematical calculation — and, therefore, not by bread alone Russian people.
