Airplane Forney F-1A, Tools & More

Our estate sale this week is the remaining items of the estate of Charlotte LeVois & Frederick (Fred) Alan Sternberg.  Charlotte specialized in paintings, producing hundreds of portraits, landscapes, and other scenes.  She also created many designs for the Enid Collins of Texas handbag company.  Fred worked for many years in the insurance industry as a salesman for Sentry and later as co-owner then owner of his own insurance offices in San Antonio for many years.  He was an avid pilot, owning several small planes over the years.

This sale will be a little different than the usual estate sale.  We are posting the sale online and will accept bids for approximately one week.  After that a decision will be made by the Executor as to the winning offer if acceptable.  All contact will be through either email or phone call.  Only serious inquiries please.  Viewing of the items up for sale can be arranged by appointment.  The plane is located at the Robstown Airport in a Hanger.  Available for review are all documents pertaining to the airplane from the time it was built to present.

Your patience will be greatly appreciated as we proceed with the process of the sale.  Please feel free to either text or call with questions if we don’t answer just leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
