THE HUDSON FAMILY COLLECTION Online Estate Auction by Crawford Auction Service Online Bidding Closes Sunday, May 10th at 7:00 PM Central Time ABOUT THIS AUCTION Crawford Auction Service is proud to bring to market the Hudson Family Collection, a 319-lot estate auction from a longtime, well-known Branson, Missouri family. The Hudsons sold their home this year, and rather than move every piece to their next chapter, they have chosen to release a significant portion of a quality collection assembled over many years of careful antique collecting.
