IT'S GOING TO BE A FANTANTIQUE AUCTION!  We are just beginning the unloading of the trucks and storage units, but this sale will be great fun and loaded with value and diversity. We have a couple pieces of Herman Miller furniture that I have yet to see and several pieces of like new from Leif Blodee. This fella was Danish and you can tell with his designs, very mid century/ Danish modern. Several of his household furniture are teak and we will be selling it all. Saved from disposal are all of the blueprints that he had in his study of his furniture designs. When I type in his name on the web, his name pops up with several patents. They are available. If you have any questions or suggestions, PLEASE give me a call. 4:00 outside w/tools, hardware & misc - 5:30 Inside w/ general furniture & estate Merchandise 6:30 Antiques & Collectibles.
