Antiques & Collectibles Estate Auction Sale Montezumam Iowa 50171 October 6, 2012 Hull, McCoy, Cub Cadet Lawn Tractor, Crocks and so much more!

Public Auction for the Rex & Evelyn Pitman Estate Of Montezuma, Iowa 10:00 October 6th! Just east of town! 1760 Highway E 85, Montezuma, IA 50171

Here's a link to my website for more info and pictures!
We will have the Rex & Evelyn Pitman estate near Montezuma Oct. 6th. Folks, this is another unique sale! The home has been in the family since 1947. Dad was a WWII vet and and had friends stationed in occupied Japan. While there, they would send many gifts.  I have not seen so much occupied Japan items in one place in my entire life! Not only was Mrs. Pitman a good shopper, she had very good taste in what she bought. The family told me, she went to auctions and garage sales for decades. It’s all there! McCoy, Hull, Shawnee, Haviland, Hall, Western, Noritake, Good Napcoware, Copper boiler, Red Wing. Several pieces of old dairy equipment, stall stanchions, separator, milk cans. I’ll keep adding pictures as I get them. Some of Dad’s WWII stuff, farm primitives and so much more. There will also be some very nice, higher quality vintage costume jewelry. I hope you take a moment to see some of it below in the pictures. There are some real nice pieces. I would anticipate that it will do well and what your see is only a sampling of what will be there for jewelry. This is the kind of jewelry that never goes out of style. Check out that flapper girl scarf! HA! If that’s the genre you are into, then this is a real find. It is the real deal, not a repro. The furniture is rock solid oak! The buffet, dining room table with leafs, and that commode! There are chairs for the table in excellent shape. There are few other cabinets. The gun cabinet is a real neat piece. The china cabinet is another nice find. The Murphy bed is a true find! I see it going into a number of different applications. Yes, it is still fully functional. Of course, you would put a new mattress on it and with today’s technology, you could make it a comfortable bed. I see it for a grandparent in a spare room, a B&B could really hit a home run with this one. It’s in great condition! The shotguns are pretty nice. That double barrel is a collector. I was able to walk through with Sandy, Scott and Joe (Bob is out west) and got just a glimpse of what is there. Every time we would go into another room, we would find something they had forgotten about years ago or it was a new find for them. These are the kind of sales that you won’t want to miss! Really nice folks here. Their Mom just passed on last February. It was good to hear them reminisce about their folks while we looked over the contents of their childhood home. I am so glad I’m doing what I do now. This kind of stuff enriches my life and feeds the soul. As I mentioned, they have been in this home since 1947.  It’s all there, plus a lot of the toys the kids had. This is going to be an incredible sale! Stay tuned, same Bat time, same Bat channel!

WWII Ration Books w/Stamps, German Dolls, .380 Semi Auto Pistol, Knives, James Bond Posters, Ladies Hamilton Watch, Vintage Farm Toys, and so much more!


August 18th Auction With Fine Merchandise! Antique Dolls, Hamilton Ladies Watch, Old Toys, Knives With More Coming!

I’ve set another auction date! I’ll do another consignment sale on Saturday, August 18th, at the UAW Union Hall 1813 1st St. N. Newton, IA 50208 at 10:00 AM
Call now to sell your quality antique and collectibles! I already have some very nice items lined up! Some outstanding antique dolls, this doll collection is one of the most varied collections I’ve seen! Kewpies, late 1800′s wax dolls, German ceramic dolls, piano babies, and many more, vintage professional accordions, with one being a DaVinci model mm 12, then Excelsior 243, Allegro, and a Scamdall accordion, (you may want to do your homework on this one) a Noble Atom, plus two others, more 60′s & 70′s movie posters, 1950′s doll house with furniture in excellent condition! People there is going to be a beautiful Hamilton’s Ladies Wrist Watch! This is a real gem! It has a small diamond, white gold, and 17 jeweled works! We’ve also added a very nice grouping of WWII era rationed stamp books and other documentation related to the ration books. This is a piece of our history that should be shared with future generations. Get your know, so you can share with your kids and grandkids!  The James Bond posters are the real find for this sale! Two are the original subway posters. One would have hung in the New York subway system, the other would have likely hung in Montreal, Quebec. It’s the French version. Both very rare and both framed and ready to hang! The two pulpits are early 1960′s. Both ready to go to work! In a church or re-purpose for your particular needs. A very clean, little used Russian made Makarov in .380, with holster and box. We’ve added 25 sports legends autographed photos! These have done very well at our previous auctions. The buyers have been happy with what they have been getting. There is another Ali autograph and one of the Whitey Ford’s comes with a separate photo of Whitey signing the photo. All have a COA! I’m just showing a small sample of what will be available. There are three signed baseballs. I have a list shown below. How about the two old horse-drawn plows?!?! These are getting harder to find all of the time! The wooden one is very old. The soil would flow from both sides of the blade, then the steel beamed plow would be more efficient with the soil falling to one side of the blade. An old floor model phonograph with records, old treadle sewing machine, Maytag collector trucks. How about some WCW and KISS items?!?!?! HA! It’s fun and they are collectible! There is also some Marvel items being added to the sale. They are hot right now! This is just a small sample! Mark it on your calendar! I’ll be adding more and more items and info.  AIR CONDITIONING!!!! Come on in! Here's a link to my website where you will find more info and pictures! Right HERE!
