Killer Kaleva Multi Generation Sale

Killer Kaleva 100 Year Sale!!!

This Finnish family settled in Kaleva in 1910 where the grandparents met and married then moved to Detroit but returned in 1946 to buy the eighty-acre Kaleva farm where our client was raised. He grew up, got his engineering degree at Wayne State and worked in the bustling auto industry in Detroit in the 1960’s. He returned to Kaleva with his young family and eventually purchased the lovely home where our sale is set.

The inventory in this sale is representative of the generations, items from the farm, items from the adult children of our client and lots of items gathered over the years. We have new in the box (NIB) items and vintage in many categories. This is an enormous sale, with a large, varied and quality inventory. This is going to be a fun sale. Set aside at least an hour, maybe more. The house is two stories; the upstairs inventory is worth the climb. We have an attached garage and a much larger pole barn about half-way up the driveway from the street. We prefer you park safely on the side of the road, not blocking neighbors’ driveways, please. If you have walking issues, you may drive up to the house and drop passengers. We must keep the driveway open.

Lots of photos. Email with questions. When we establish prices for the vehicles and boat, we will publish them.
