HIGHLIGHTS/AUCTIONEERS NOTES:
This online auction features an incredible 1920s estate collection, headlined by a beautifully maintained Model T and a massive selection of vintage books in exceptional, collector-grade condition. The auction also includes a wide array of authentic Model T merchandise and Ford memorabilia. Adding a melodic soul to the era’s machinery is a fully functional working player piano, offering a rare opportunity to own a complete, sensory piece of Jazz Age history. Also, there is some very interesting military memorabilia. Please take your time and scroll through all the lots. Everything sells AS IS. Items have not been tested unless otherwise specified. Come to the loadout prepared with what you might need, bring your own boxes and packing material, bring loadout help, tools, dolly, truck, etc. If you think you need it, please bring it. Little to no loadout help will be available.

PLEASE NOTE:
The gentleman still lives in the home, so no one will access the house. We will load out from the alley behind the house. Please use the alley. This is a one day load out only.
