ESTATE SALE BY CAROLYN & COMPANY

PLEASE NOTE: This sale was previously scheduled for the weekend of March 10-12, 2017. We apologize for any confusion this may cause.

If "vintage" is your passion, here is the sale you've been waiting for: a Saint Patrick's Day pot-of-gold, brimming with vintage items of every shape, size, and kind. This bungalow in Ballwin is packed with many great treasures including many mid-century modern furniture pieces and lamps. In the living room is a Hollywood regency style love seat and coffee table, fanciful carved french leg Shoninger spinet piano, Crown oak and black walnut grandfather clock, and a solid wood, lighted curio cabinet over six feet tall filled with bird figurines by Andrea. The bedroom contains a nine drawer dresser by Caldwell, a queen size headboard and footboard of solid wood and a mattress and box springs, many pairs of size 6 women's shoes, many name brand purses and handbags, size small and medium men's casual shirts and casual pants. There's even a vintage Brownie uniform from the early 1970's. The gentleman was a prominent draftsman and designer for the Defense Mapping Agency in St. Louis and so has many fine drafting tools, stencils, and drawing implements in a magnificent Thomasville desk with matching book cases. He worked closely with the famous St. Louis artist John Pils.
