August Estate Finds, Collectibles, and Harley Auction

A Harley Davidson, Vintage Perfume Bottles, Pocket Knives and 420 Lots of Eclectic Estate Finds

Thursday, August 13 at 7pm Eastern

This one is genuinely eclectic. The headline lot is a 2009 Harley Davidson XL883L Sportster with just over 14,000 miles, a clean title, and recent service work completed at Bridge Street Cycle in Grand Ledge. From there the catalog opens into 420 lots of estate finds that touch nearly every collecting category, an abstract wooden sculpture, a David Clark aviation helmet, historical newspaper front pages announcing Lindbergh’s landing in Paris, and a hand painted wooden patriotic figure standing fifty inches tall. Whatever brought you to this page, there is a good chance something in this sale will surprise you.

Collectors of vintage perfume and cologne will find one of the deepest runs we have offered, over sixty factice display bottles and fragrance sets from names like Guy Laroche, Guerlain, Halston, and Bijan. Knife collectors will want to work through the thirty six lots of folding and fixed blade knives, including Buck, KA BAR, Opinel, and Olsen. Round out your bidding with a strong shelf of Lenox porcelain, etched glassware, Craftsman tools, and vintage cookbooks. Preview the full catalog and start placing your bids now.
