Auction Details

Desirable and unique “smalls” – both antiques & art -- are presented for your consideration. Items in this auction have been selected for their “size”.

All items come from estates, private collections and local museums in upstate NY.

Of special note, you will find a collection of wildlife art by “Mary Emily Eaton”, “Gustav Muss Arnolt”, and “Hintermeister”. Also, please note the advertising items and trading cards from Church & Dwight Co.
