Sale Summary:
This week we are offering the Estate of Rockford E. Smith. The Smiths were lifetime Joplin residents, and had reared their family and been active in the community here. We’re honored to be chosen to see that the things they accumulated and cared for find new homes with you. We think you’ll really enjoy the range of a very interesting and exceptionally high quality things which were kept with TLC. We think you’ll find some very classy, very enjoyable things for your home or perhaps as gifts or simply to pass along to a family member or friend. If you can’t find them on your own, we’re happy to help!

The range includes current, vintage and some antique items. We have an impressive group of very nice, first quality furnishings, and of course some just plain useful everyday stuff. We’ve found some really rare collectible pieces (ever seen a 1941 Hudson Owner’s Manual?!) As usual, some things will be “ooh’s and aah’s,” some will be “take it home and use it” stuff, and some is just fun stuff. As always, if you don’t know what it is, ask us. We’ll either be glad to share what we know, or make up a cool story for it!

We’re honored to be asked to find new homes for the things that the Smiths chose with care, and made a part of their life. Those things are now ready to send along to bring tradition, usefulness and pleasure to your home!
