CINCINNATI – The collection of Claude “Henry” Withers and the John Baldwin Trust led the way in Hindman’s $1,185,656 April 15 Native American Art auction. Copper items from the Withers collection received significant interest from bidders, packing Hindman’s Cincinnati saleroom and achieving top prices. Revered collector and author John Baldwin’s collection also shone, with lots such as a grizzly bear claw necklace selling for $37,500 against a presale estimate of $20,000-30,000. Textiles from the collection of Bruce and Claire Montgomerie also were among top performers.
