LINDA ROBERTS FINE JEWELRY



I began collecting, and then selling Jewelry over 35 years ago in New York. Along the way, I added ORIGINAL Currier & Ives Lithographs to my collection, as well as Coins, Royal Doultons and Brooklyn Dodger Memorabilia. Growing up, I lived down the street from Ebbets Field and
went to as many Brooklyn Dodger games as possible - always sitting in the
bleachers for just 60 Cents admission! At any rate, I collected lots of Brooklyn Dodger stuff, which I will be selling along with 3000 PIECES OF FINE JEWELRY - ANTIQUE, VINTAGE, ESTATE and CONTEMPORARY!



It is now time for my husband and I to 'spread our wings' a bit, visit our children and grandchildren, and pursue other interests. And so, over the next few years, I will be selling all of my Collections including over 3000 PIECES OF FINE JEWELRY via a WEEKLY LIVE AUCTION. I DO invite you to attend my WEEKLY LIVE AUCTIONS and discover the wonderful treasures in my Collection.
