HIghland Park Estate Sale

On occasion one of those truly old-fashioned estate sales happens.  This one is going to be fun for all because of the variety that has been collected over the more than 60 years that the family has lived in this same home.  This old-Dallas family with roots to old East Dallas, Tyler and elsewhere have done a great job of collecting and enjoying all of their purchases from the past 60 years as well as those inherited from the family. 

When you look at the pictures, you will understand what was done to set this one up.  We had to put tables in every conceivable location in order to empty the furniture, cabinets, storage pantry and closets.  Among the photos you will note:

-    China sets including Royal Doulton, Lenox, Havilland, Spode and others.

-    Silver plated and sterling serving pieces, trays, service ware and specialty pieces

-    Boxed antique fish set, sterling server set;, specialty cutlery, etc

-    Cookbooks out the wazoo

-    Pump organ or REED organ in tact and complete working order

We hope this sale truly provides the opportunity for finding that one thing that you have not seen before.
