Blue Raven Estate Sales
Description & Details
You are invited to peek into the collection of a remarkable man and friend (Pat D'Arco Hwy & Riverside Dr NE, Rio Rancho). At a young age, Sam traveled to Europe to perform tap dance and ended his adventures in New Mexico, and retired from IBM. This home is immaculate with many perfect-condition items purchased in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Unique and unusual treasures include a Japanese silverware set, vintage bar and serving ware, cool acrylic tables, eye-popping vinyl and electronics, and many bolos from artists across the Southwest.
We recommend visiting this sale on the weekend of December 8th, as the one-of-a-kind and many almost-new won't last until Sunday. We know that you will admire Sam's life as much as his friends did.
