Iowa Estate Sale Guns Old Diecast Farm Toys Marbles Hull Shawnee McCoy 50's Japan Old ERTL Vintage Costume Jewelry And More! Toys
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 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. I'll keep adding pictures as I get
them. 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. There also a Murphy Bed! It's called a
Murphy's bed, however the 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. 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.Please take a moment and have a
look at my main site, there may be some updates that haven't reached
here yet, besides, you need plugged in there anyway! Right here!
