[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1322145, member: 5066"]And, as if on cue, this arrives this morning in my email box. " Rare and important: This is the 26th example of Sussel-Washington fraktur, just discovered and identified." We don't know who this artist was, he/she gets their name from the Arthur Sussel Collection & the fraktur of george & martha washington. He operated in Berks county PA in 1770-1780s and is the most famous & valuable american Fraktur artist. Is this example real? I dunno but, If it is a genuine Sussel-Washington Fraktur, this estimate of 20k-25k is way low, it'll go for twice that or more.
