I'm announcing the Rex & Evelyn Pitman Estate Near Montezuma, IA! WWI Occupied Japan, Shawnee, McCoy, Haviland, Red Wing, Vintage Toys, Farm Primitives, Furniture, Aladdin Lamp, Seth Thomas and so much more!

I’ve just received notice that I will handle the Pitman estate near Montezuma this summer or early fall! Folks, this is another unique sale! The home has been in the family since 1947. Dad was a WWII vet and was stationed in occupied Japan. While there, he was able to bring his wife over to Japan to be with him. She liked to shop! 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 after coming back to Iowa and their farm, she continued going to auctions and garage sales for decades. It’s all there! McCoy, Hull, Shawnee, Haviland, Hall, Western, Red Wing. Some of Dad’s WWII stuff, farm primitives and so much more. 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! I'll be posting pictures and info soon, right here! Stay tuned, same Bat time, same Bat channel!
