Elkhart Treasure Hunt Nets Antiques

MARCH 15, 2011- Please make plans to join us on April 1 and April 2 for our next auction. Friday, April 1 is our extremely popular Marketplace auction; all items are uncatalogued and sell to on-site bidders only. April 2 is our next catalogue session with fine jewelry, decorative arts, antiques and fine art. Much of the auction will consist of items from a single consignor in Elkhart, IN. The home is an 1870's Victorian, and has been uninhabited since 1980.

A real treasure hunt was conducted over a two-day period, in which we found period furnishings and decorative arts, toys, glass, porcelain, pottery and much more. Below are a few photos of the home, as we found it.

Darin - After seeing the pictures of Mama's things, I realize they barely scratch the surface of all the treasures Mama had squirreled away all these years - When I think of all the stained glass windows, the art glass, Mama's mechanical monkeys still in their boxes, my pedal car, this will be a fun sale -
    Mama & I appreciate all the kindness your staff gave to us during this inevitable phase of life - looking forward to being there too, to see her treasures find new homes - Victoria
