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
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!
