Legacy Auction House -
The Estate of Mary Martha Johnston Online Auction presents an unusually broad and thoughtfully assembled collection of fine art, Catholic liturgical and devotional materials, collectible books, jewelry, vintage accessories, decorative arts, and household treasures.
Featured offerings include a striking framed Madonna and Child painting, a vintage Omega Seamaster automatic wristwatch, sterling silver and inlaid jewelry, a Montblanc Meisterstück Classique ballpoint pen, vintage Sheaffer, Parker, and Cross writing instruments, and a signed Robert Eickholt iridescent art-glass paperweight. European craftsmanship is represented by a handmade Müller GmbH German incense smoker, depicting a Scottish bagpiper dressed in traditional Highland attire.
A major portion of the auction is devoted to an extensive Catholic liturgical and devotional collection, including missals, hymnals, chant books, sacramentaries, theological works, priestly items, religious textiles, crucifixes, incense pieces, devotional art, and a vintage priest’s Mass kit. Highlights include the St. Andrew Daily Missal four-volume set, The Liturgical Year fifteen-volume set, Liber Usualis, Graduale Triplex, Gregorian Missal, and other works connected to Catholic worship and scholarship.
Bibliophiles should take special note of the signed, numbered, and limited-edition works designed or illustrated by Frank Kacmarcik, several with personal inscriptions to Father Leo Piguet. The collection includes religious fine-press books, Christmas publications, papal addresses, works associated with Thomas Merton, and other examples of mid-century liturgical design and printing. First-edition literary titles, poetry, spiritual works, cookbooks, children’s books, local history, and vintage reference books round out the substantial book offering.
Additional highlights include vintage Chanel No. 5, Guerlain Shalimar, and other collectible fragrances; vintage Mary Kay cosmetics and beauty products; fine porcelain and European pottery; a Belle Brummel clutch purse; Levenger leather desk accessories; vintage binoculars; art glass; Christmas collectibles; Department 56 pieces; origami sets; sheet music; sewing notions; decorative crosses; and an assortment of distinctive estate curiosities.
From fine art and collectible books to jewelry, devotional objects, vintage fashion accessories, fragrances, porcelain, holiday décor, and practical household pieces, this auction offers something for collectors, decorators, readers, and treasure hunters alike.
