INCREDIBLE SALE OF GIANT PROPORTIONS!

This INCREDIBLE sale represents a lifetime spent collecting the rare, the obscure, the beautiful and the iconic.  "Eclectic" doesn't begin to do it justice.  In addition to more traditional antiques, the range includes Aesthetic and Arts & Crafts furniture, an impressive number of charmingly specific sterling silver serving pieces, silver Gaucho knives from Argentina, a great many Art Deco and Art Nouveau accessories, yerba mate gourd cups & straws, an Art Deco decanter formerly owned by Andy Warhol, china & glass, a 1933 World Series souvenir bat with a Senators banner, vintage toys, a sterling silver Hebrew Holy Scriptures set with an emerald and a sapphire, and, literally, more than a thousand pieces of Coca-Cola memorabilia.  This represents only the beginning!

We are seldom at a loss for words, but this is one of those times. This sale challenges description. For every great piece described below, there are 3 or 4 more that aren’t mentioned. Too many things, too little time. To be completely trite, this entire listing is just the tip of the iceberg. This is not a sale you want to miss.
