It is nearly impossible to list everything in a collection like this. We have done the listing throughout the store and have gone through some of the basement but there are boxes that have been packed for years, shelves and barrels of everything from primitive tools to wool blankets and Indian dolls and toys. Here is a listing of some of the things that will be at the auction: Plaster model of the 1949 Lincoln that Tori’s father, Rodger Ketchman, designed as well as many pieces of Ford Motor Co. memorabilia from his estate. He was the worldwide director of Lincoln Mercury & responsible for styling & production for many years. These will sell Saturday at 1 PM and we will accept telephone bids on these items. Note that there is a separate page on this model and related items. Click #395 Tori Lincoln Model at the bottom of the list to the right.

As so much of this is packed and stored it was impossible to catalog it. However, we have scheduled some items. The Ford collectibles - which include the Lincoln model and 3 or 4 bank boxes full of Ford memorabilia - books, magazines, advertising, etc. - from the 1930’s to 1970’s will sell Saturday beginning at 1 pm. We may sell some of this in a second ring and will accept telephone bids on a few major items.
Major toys will follow the Ford memorabila.
The Indian copper pot and collectible arrowheads, tools and beadwork etc., will sell Sunday at 1 PM.
We will take phone bids on the pot.
Vintage clothing will also sell on Sunday.
Each day we will finish the day with an hour or two of “farm auction” going down the rows of primitives and miscellaneous. We will also do request tables for many items to accommodate our bidders' wishes as much as possible.
There are also some pieces of furniture that are in storage and won't show up on the web site prior to the auction since we won't be cleaning out the storage units until the week before the auction.
Remember that we will be selling the shelving, large showcases, signage, etc, from the store, so bring your truck and be ready to haul.
Long Days but FUN!!!
We will be adding more photos so please check back. Be sure to look at all four pages of photos. By putting smaller numbers of photos on each page they load quicker -- especially for people with dialup or slow connections.









This is the library table made in Townsend in 1915.



Yup, all of this stuff, too.









A gorgeous service piece with a mark we haven't found yet. From an old mansion in Helena.


Neat old Shooter's Bible catalogs from 1940's

More lamps than this - these were easiest to get a picture of.
