I saw this tonight on Craigslist & thought someone here might have some interest. Doesn't sound like a bad deal.

Yes, it could well be a good deal if someone hasn't already picked over the merchandise and taken out all the good stuff.

"Cherry picking" is a common practice in estate lots of this type however. I've been hired to do it on two different watchmaker estates. The family wanted me to snipe out the best examples of highly-jeweled railroad watches, solid gold cases, etc. before the remainder of the estate was sold as a single lot.


Best Regards,

Sure seems like a deal to me. Just too far to go for pickup.

That was my thought too. If it was in the midwest, I'd be headed there right now...

Larry is someplace in Massachussetts, so I nominate him to get behind the wheel.
