This is an amazing 36+ year collection of offerings from our country's
Transmissippi wilderness history – from simple everyday tools and rare
Native American artifacts to superior furniture to museum quality
early American artwork, over 60 items in all. Many pieces have never
been offered to the public - you will find this to be a once in a
lifetime opportunity to own a piece of the past. Each auction will
start on Monday evening and run for seven days.

I normally deal in jewelry, but am doing these auctions for a friend.
If you know of a collector who might be interested, I would be very
grateful if you passed the information along – I wasn't even quite
sure what groups I should advertise them in.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Nora
