GLASS CUP PLATES AND ASSOCIATED REFERENCE VOLUMES, LOT OF SIX, comprising Bourne, Public Auction, The William J. Elsholz Collection of Early American Glass, three-volume set with price sheets; Lee/Rose, American Glass Cup Plates, third edition, signed by Rose and inscribed "To the Parkes, / with best regards, / Jim Rose"; Burns, Glass Cup Plates, A Guide to Collectors, 1921; and O'Reilly's Plaza Art Galleries, Important Collection of Cup Plates Assembled by the late Mrs. Mary Myers Parker of Westfield, Mass. Auction Sale, 1953. Together with a set (unknown completeness) of Marbles' cup plate collection photographs, and assorted archival material, including four James Rose cup plate sales lists. Hard and soft covers.
Catalogue Note: This copy of AGCP was the personal copy of the Parkes, and was inscribed to them by Rose. As best we can surmise, they collected during the early 1960s, from antique shops and shows in the New England area, and also ordered through the mail directly from Rose and other dealers. They heavily annotated the book throughout, with notes about auctions they attended in 1960-1961, sale prices, etc., many items written in code, with a guide in the back. It seems they assembled a respectable collection of around 50 good plates, the entirety of which was purchased by Hardesty in 2019, and which is now offered throughout this auction as part of the Hardesty collection. Plates from the Parkes' assemblage will be noted as "ex-Parkes collection" in their provenance, where known. Their AGCP copy offers a unique source of insight into the glory days of cup plate collecting, which may be of great interest to cup plate collecting archivists.
