We have contracted with a 30+ year antique collecter to sell his collections as he has decided to retire and pusue other interests. This will be the first of several auctions from a storage facility in Alexandria, Ky. We really have some nice antique furniture pieces, pottery, vintage advertising pieces and all sorts of collectibles.
