Sale By Gale
Description & Details
An estate of a retired Foreign Service Officer with postings in Soviet-era Moscow during Reagan’s first term and later in Mexico and other deployments, along with personal ties to China and Japan.
The home has a wide range of items gathered over years of foreign travel: cultural pieces and artifacts, books (especially about history and foreign affairs), interesting posters, artwork, and décor – along with quality household furnishings and items, and a bunch of stuff in the garage.
A wonderful sale for anyone who appreciates history, American diplomacy and international affairs and the stories that come along with it.
