HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Happy Holidays to our customers, clients, staff, family, auctioneer friends and everyone else who helped us have another successful year in the auction business!

Jennifer and I are not getting much of a break this year as we are working on several online-only auctions for the New Year!  We also have a couple of Live Auctions that we need to start work on, so the file cabinets might not get purged for awhile!

One of our first online-only auctions of 2013 will be a large Baby-Boomer Collection of model trains - the majority being Lionel!  This collection is from the same Wisconsin collector that we have sold for in the past - he is now ready to let go and give someone else a chance to enjoy his collection.  The majority of the model trains are in near-mint to mint condition, several never having been opened!

We have been commissioned to sell some wonderful antique and vintage jewelry from several different estates and collectors, and will start off with a good quality online jewelry auction within the first couple of months of 2013.  'Planes, Trains, & Automobiles' will be the theme for another specialty auction which will feature a large amount of train memorabilia and vintage airline collectibles. This auction has a little bit of room available if you have something special in the transportation arena that you would like to consign - give us a call!

A collection of 50 wooden duck decoys will headline the online-only sporting auction and also includes fishing lures, framed wildlife art and hunting/fishing books.  Let us know if you would like to be included and we will be happy to explain the process to you!

Live auctions on the horizon currently include an indoor auction of quality antiques from long-time collectors and a live 'Bid & Glimmer' Jewelry Auction.  If you have never attended a 'Bid & Glimmer' Auction, I highly encourage you to do so - they are a TON of fun!

We had a lot of fun at our Annual Customer Appreciation Auction on November 3rd.  We filled (over-filled) the Pensaukee Town Hall in Abrams two weeks in a row!  The 1800's "Lincoln Memorial Frame" carved by a MasterCarver was the highlight on October 27th and sold for $3,850!  Sterling Silver was really hot also!  And we were SO grateful to be selling INDOORS! 

Start checking our website in early January and watch for both online-only and live auction dates!  If you ever want to bid online and are not comfortable with the process, or do not have a computer, just let us know and we will be happy to schedule a time to visit with you and answer questions.

Call or email us if you are thinking about having an auction in 2013, either live or online!  If you have items to sell but do not have enough for an entire auction, we can make that work most times also!

Please be safe during the holidays, and enjoy your family and friends!  HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
