The Behind the Auction Scoop- July 28, 2018 Antiques & Collectibles Auction

8/21/2018

2 Comments

 
When a life long collector gives you a call and says they want to sell a few items, you say “YES!!!” And that is just how our July 28, 2018 Antiques & Collectibles Auction started. A few weeks later, they delivered the boxes and furniture. As my husband and Harry Lahr Auction’s Auctioneer Matt was unpacking, he texted me some pictures. And I started to excited. I’m always so jealous when he gets to unpack for auctions like this one.

The day of the auction it was beautiful. As customers started to come in and register, I always am interested to hear how they find out about our auctions and why they buy what they do. That Saturday was no different. We had customers from as far away as Florida, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois and from all corners of Iowa. There was a nice mix of items- antiques, collectibles, furniture, choice lots, stoneware and toys. As customers checked out that day some of them told me of items that they had been looking for and were able to add to their collections that day, items that they missed out on and wished they would be taking home and plans to set up at upcoming antique shows. Another successful auction.

Here are just of my favorite things from the July 28th Auction-
