Acting on an anonymous tip, police raided a house Monday and found 50 paintings, furniture and two grandfather clocks. A few of the paintings were ripped or water-damaged.
Eighty Royal Doulton figurines in the collection, valued separately at about $100,000, still had not been recovered.
The most valuable piece, an oil painting by noted American painter Fred Wagner, was among the recovered items.
George Winns, in whose house the items were found, was charged with burglary and receiving stolen property, police said.
The entire collection, valued at $1 million, was stolen from a nondescript, working class home in north Philadelphia earlier this month while the elderly owner of the collection was in a rehabilitation hospital after being hit by a car.
Harry W. Lownsbury, 75, was expected to view the recovered items Tuesday and determine exactly how much of his collection, if any, was still missing.
