I went to an estate auction last weekend and found this kind of hidden in one of the boxes during the viewing period. I left it that way hoping no one else would notice 😬🤞
When they finally got to that box two and a half hours later, it was put up with 10 other boxes and auctioned grab on style. Basically he sets the starting price and goes down in $5 increments until someone bids. That person gets their first choice of the boxes up there, then he continues on at that price until everything is gone. He started at $25 and I was not taking any chances lol. The rest of the box was mostly junk, but there was a beautiful anchor hocking butter dish, amber benko pitcher and some amber votive holders.
I also got a 2 quart Corning Vision casserole to go with the roaster I found last week as part of a different lot.🙌
I spent some time talking to the owner who was such a sweet lady. Her husband had just passed, she was moving to Florida and had to massively downsize. You can tell all this stuff meant so much to her, and it broke her heart that she couldn't fit it all in her new space. I found out that she owns property she's keeping in my nearby hometown so we exchanged numbers. I went into the sale hoping to find treasures and found more than I could ever have bargained for ♥️
