Living estate of Les & Sue Thompson. Les, “LMT” is well known for his over 30 years of collections offered at the Denton Mini-Mall. This fun and informative couple are moving to a new home and have decided to share a large portion of their collections with us. I have had a wonderful experience visiting with both of them and see why they are so well admired.
The home is currently being lived in by family, please do not try and contact them before the sale.
Not only are there some fabulous antiques, primitives, collectibles and jewelry items, there are also newer furniture pieces, tons of kitchen items and lovely yard décor.
Our team is once again honored to offer this estate to all of you.

They do each have a signed certificate from Ed Tripp stating they are authentic.
We are not in the business of authenticating any items we sell. All items sold as is, where is with no guarantees. Note: The framed “Field of Dreams” Autographed print has an autograph of “Mickey Mantle”, and Mr. Tripp does not believe it is his true signature.
