White House History, Military Aviation & a Lifetime of Collecting in Bridgemill

Good Bones Estate Sales is proud to present an extraordinary Bridgemill estate filled with presidential history, military aviation memorabilia, vintage collectibles, coins, fine furnishings and decades of fascinating finds.

This is far more than a typical household estate sale. The home belonged to a military pilot, and the family has a remarkable connection to White House service. Preserved throughout the estate is an extensive collection of photographs, invitations, programs, correspondence, certificates, keepsakes and personal materials associated with White House staff life, presidential administrations and historic events.

Many of these materials have remained with the family for decades and offer a rare glimpse into the personal side of government service and American history.

Beyond the archive, the entire home is packed with collections gathered through military service, travel and a lifetime of personal interests. Every cabinet, closet, drawer and storage area has revealed something unexpected.
