About the Item

An Assembled Group of Seventeen Sitzendorf Porcelain Monkey Band Figures, Charming as a collection or themed dining table decoration. Priced per figure. Property from the Estate of Fred and Estelle Spector, Chicago, Illinois Fred Spector began violin lessons at the age of five with his uncle J.B. Mazur, concertmaster of the Czar’s Imperial Orchestra in Saint Petersburg. A lifelong Chicagoan, he attended Hyde Park High School and Chicago Musical College. He was a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 47 years (1956 – 2003). He was actually hired into the CSO twice. The first time was in 1948 but the music director was fired shortly after he was hired, and the symphony did not honor any of the contracts of the recently hired musicians. Eight years later he was invited to audition again. At that point, he was conducting Top Banana staring Phil Silvers on Broadway. He chose to return to Chicago to join the symphony and start a family with his wife Estelle. A chamber music enthusiast, he also performed with numerous ensembles in the Chicago area and was a member of the Chicago Strings, the Chicago Symphony Quartet, and the Chicago Arts Quartet for many years. He was also assistant conductor of the Highland Park Music Theatre. He was a collector of all violin and string instrument related objects. His vast collections of objects included unique and special violins and figurines. He even invented a violin mute that carries his name.
