    I usually have time to go to the previews and research pieces; however, I had to work 7p - 7a last night (nursing). At a glance, I don't see any high end pieces of glass that would sell for much more than $50 online. Do anything stand out to you? I wish there was better photos of the clocks and some photos of the fishing tackle. The last two auctions I attended (from this auctioneer), things were selling way too high. But I did attend one of his auctions earlier in the summer, and purchased some Roseville and Frankoma Pottery for really good prices. Thanks, Joe

    I like the vase in #25 but it probably isn't worth much these days. Fenton isn't. The carnival glass could all be repro for all I'd know. The jewelry is probably going to sell high for nothing in particular. Nothing stood out. Those Griswold frying pans however... snag 'em and cook in them yourself. Nothing beats old cast iron for frying. The cast iron dutch oven too. Those lights in shot 111 might be worth a flyer if they go cheap. It depends on who made them and what they made them for.

    Hi,
    That baby buggy goes for 100 around here. That metal caning is very popular. I liked some of the lamps. I would not even look at the depression glass it is too sad since it was my favorite for years.:(

    Photo #24 -- on the bottom left of the photo the clear glass bird with white swirls caught my eye. I know nothing about it but . . . .

    It's pretty. I love that curio cabinet with the curved glass too; I'm guessing it's 100 years old or maybe even more. I've love to know what Brad makes of it, but curved glass is harder to make and thus worth more. Maybe no easier to sell, but worth more when you can. That junk drawer lot has my nose twitching too. Not because I see anything good, but just because I love junk drawer lots. They're worth buying if they go cheap, for the fun of it if nothing else.

    From what I can see everything is saleable, but nothing is extraordinary.

    I see 3 Aladdin lamps on the roll top. They used to fetch good money here in CA, but not lately.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    If you did go today, let us know what happened!

    At any Auction, there are some good pieces that are not shown. Sometimes good Carnival Glass are hidden in the Pics.

    I passed on the auction. And yes, there are always a few good pieces that don't seem to make in into the photos. The last auction I went to, the good pieces were pulled by the family the day before.
