<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 9562078, member: 182&quot;]One of the first auctions i attended was selling a Huge collection of Fostoria American, not much else in the sale.&nbsp; The son in law was the executor of the estate and I chatted with him awhile.&nbsp; The couple had American stored everywhere and had even dedicated 2 spare bedrooms for display cabinets, tables and shelves.&nbsp; This was the time when American was still fairly valuable.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The collection included 5 complete punch bowl sets, all of the vases, dinnerware and stemware, many of the rare pieces.&nbsp; It was just massive.&nbsp; The son in law was referring to it as &quot;stuff&quot; &quot;clutter&quot; &quot;junk&quot; etc. so I told him I would see him at the end of the auction to see if he changed his mind.&nbsp; Well, the collection brought thousands and he was stunned! I thought his reaction was funny and fairly predictable.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a beautiful pattern and the most successful for Fostoria.&nbsp; I hope it&#039;s around for a lot longer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
