You may recall we conducted an estate tag sale for Dr. Richard Huntley last October after he had moved from his Norton Shores, Michigan home.  He downsized to a home in Grand Haven, and took all his favorite treasures with him.  Sadly, he was only in that home for a matter of weeks before he passed away on December 1, 2016.

Therefore, this sale will be to sell all those favorite items he brought with him to his Grand Haven, Michigan residence:

  • Gold jewelry with precious stones (Not on premises until sale.  Guard on duty during sale.)
  • Sterling jewelry including Native American
  • Gold pocket and wrist watches
  • Sterling Christmas ornaments (about 100)
  • Music boxes and Automaton
  • Mid-Century Modern furniture
  • Victorian parlor furniture
  • Collection of clocks
  • Artwork
  • Room size Oriental Carpets
  • Vintage clothing including Kimonos and embroidered shawls
  • Sets of Dishes & stemware
  • Lighting including Czech chandelier and hanging Victorian oil lamps (electrified)
  • Art glass including signed L.C. Tiffany decanter, Steuben hanging shade, Blenko, Millefiore
  • Black powder firearms including 19th Century Kentucky rifle
  • AND MUCH MORE.  See the photos for a better idea of what we have for sale.
