Items of Value Inc

     This sale will be a novel experience for some of you.  The house is FULL of items (that belonged to the parents) which you will find on the main floor, second floor, basement, and garage.  We have set up some tables, did a lot of dusting and rearranging, brought in floor lamps to have more light, plus one locked showcase  for costume jewelry and small items.  You will enter through the garage in back of the house.  The types of items surprised us.  We agreed to do the sale because of the variety and quantity of items there.  One of the items is a very large and very heavy white marble pedestal column.

      You will have an opportunity to purchase a formerly very expensive large inlaid stone world globe in brass stand.  If you like it but it is too big, we also have two smaller ones that you will find in the entry room when you come up the stairs from the garage.  It is there that we set up a showcase, but we could only put in about one third of the costume jewelry because there is so much.  We have US  proof coin sets that will not be displayed due to lack of showcase space, but you can ask to see them.  You will be astounded at the amount of items in the dining room, living room, bedrooms, and kitchen of the first floor.  Among the more interesting items are several modern metal table lamps with colored glass shades.  We also have a fireplace mantle for sale.  In front of the fireplace is a ruby-upholstered chaise lounge.  For those of you who lived or traveled in Germany and liked the corner table/bench arrangements you saw there, we have one for sale.  It is in one corner of the dining room.  A small antique wall box with carved door is in the middle of another dining table.

     This is a rare opportunity to acquire a 3-story furnished dollhouse, Victorian style, with open back and lift-up roof panel.  It is in the same room as a low round white table with white wood seats for small children.  The mid-century modern round Scandinavian coffee table is in another room where you will also find a fairly new zither.  Another musical instrument is the upright piano.  You will find a large stack of sheet music on the right end of the piano.  When you turn around, you can admire and buy the tall case clock.  The cast metal figures painted black show good detail.  Most of them are in the living room.  Most of the books we are able to display on tables or shelves in the first floor hallway.  Take time to go through them along with the MANY DVDs that we assembled there.  We have hung many framed items in the hallway, so turn around to look at them too.  

     Sinks, windows, building supplies had been purchased to install in the house, but the installation never happened.  So, we have them available to you.  You will find them in the basement along with hand and power tools, wood trellis panels, shelving.  Be sure to have your photo taken with the belt on of the vintage weight loss machine that is supposed to jiggle away those extra pounds.  Which one of you will buy it?  I wonder how much it would bring on ebay.  There is a metal patio set in the upstairs sun porch as well as cinder blocks that got up there for some reason.  If you like to refinish old pieces of furniture or need bookcases or a desk, this is your buying opportunity.  

      Please bring canvas satchels and empty boxes with you as we have none to offer.  Look forward to this 3-day sale as a fun opportunity to go through a lot of STUFF and buy some to use or give as gifts.  As of the dates of this sale, there are only two months of shopping days before Christmas.  Now that's a scary thought.

     We have two more sales scheduled in October, one of which is a 3-day sale near Occoquan Bay in Woodbridge, one a two-day midweek sale in a mansion in western Fairfax.  Watch carefully for our sale announcements.  We apologize to those of you who came to "The Regency" sale near Tysons but were turned away.  We had a "situation" there.  That sale will begin again at dates yet to be arranged with our client and under different circumstances of admittance for the public.
