LUCKY RABBIT HOPPED OVER TO NJ



Tom and I hopped over the GW Bridge yesterday to check out the most amazing house. It was built in the early 1900’s by the most recent original occupant.
The family was very prominent and viewed as upstanding members in the community. They also had very active social life in the art scene and hobnobbed with some of the most prominent families in Manhattan.
It was like taken a step back in time. Nothing had changed in the house since its occupancy way back when.
It was unique in that the woman who lived in the home was a secret hoarder of quality antiques and basically never threw anything away.
Tom and I were like kids in a candy store. We found all sorts of interesting items dating back to the turn of the century.
Loads of ephemera, furniture, antique grand father clocks, art work, musical instruments, lamps, light fixtures, wall sconces, china, and crystal. I could sit here all day listing the items we looked at!
All three floors are packed with antiques! It really was a picker’s dream house!

Wow is all I can say! We have to add 3 additional empty storage  units to this sale just to set up the 1000 or so boxes. We will have a total of seven units set up with everything from A to Z.  If you cant find what you buy, collect or resell at this sale then ill be a monkeys uncle. 

The more we dig through these storage containers, the more amazed we are by the items we're finding.
I was able to snap some pictures today of only one set-up unit. Most consisting of the art work, Vintage Sansui model G-22000 amp and receiver. Asian porcelain, statues in resin, metal, cement and hand carved wood.  antique pipes,  Two American WWI Calvary swords with scabbards known as the "Patton Sword" model # 1913, both are in real good condition. professional porcelain kiln, early American Brass fireplace tool holder. 
 Much more to come...

We haven't even opened half the boxes yet but It just gets better with every box we open. I'll keep all of you posted on all our daily discoveries. I had hoped to upload pictures today but its mot ready. I will do my best to get them up tomorrow.
