Thinking of selling?

Every one of these came out of somebody’s house.

A Fabergé clock estimated at $40,000 brought $153,600. A George Washington proclamation estimated at $300 brought $47,360. Most consignors had no idea what they had. Bring it in, or send photographs — we will tell you what we think it is worth, at no charge.
