Or perhaps a sterling silver seagull pin engraved "To Bert from Ayn" [Rand] piques your interest? (Its estimate is $3,500). There literally is something for everyone at this sale.

New York Week Preview, Part 1: Heritage
By Rebecca Rego Barry on April 3, 2011 8:00 PM |
To kick off a week of previews relating to this week in New York City -- two major auctions and three fairs -- I sat down this weekend to conquer the Heritage Auction Galleries' catalogue for its April 7th live auction at the Fletcher Sinclair Mansion (2 E. 79th St., where lots are on view Wednesday & Thursday). It is not quite the Sears catalog in heft, but close. There I sat, diligently, with my set of lavender sticky notes to mark pages of interest. I quickly realized this method was futile when I had used twenty notes in the first forty pages.

According to the full catalog, she was Bertha Krantz, copyeditor for Atlas Shrugged. BB and Heller interviewed her for their biographies.

Thanks, Peter! I should have checked that myself, as I am registered with Heritage, but I got the link from another admirer of Ayn Rand, who happens to be a publishing person, which is how she saw it in the book news website, and I left it at that. I appreciate the enlightenment.

Who was "Bert"?
