Rex & Evelyn Pitman Estate At Auction Antique Murphy's Bed At An Iowa Auction! Red Wing, Hull, Hall, McCoy, Haviland, Noritake, Shawnee, and so much more!

Rex & Evelyn Pitman Estate On The Farm Since 1947. Montezuma, IA. It's called a Murphy's bed, however the factory proper nomenclature is Victrola Bed # 616, patented 1903. It's a true fold-out! Beautiful as it is rare! In very good condition. There isn't a mattress and you probably wouldn't want one that old. This antique still has years of service left in it. All you would need is a good mattress that will fold well. With the mattress technology available today, this could be a very comfortable bed. It would be perfect for a B&B, as an extra bed. 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, Noritake, Good Napcoware, Copper boiler, Red Wing. Several pieces of old dairy equipment, stall stanchions, separator, milk cans. The two shotguns will be a real find for the antique gun collectors! There is the double-barreled J. Stevens A&T Co. Hammered 12ga. and the Riverside Arms 12 ga. pump. I'll keep adding pictures as I get them. As always, take a moment and click over to my main website, so you can pop me in your favorites! You will find it right here!
