Retired Antiquities Dealer private collections

   Welcome to the Ancient World! A retired antique dealer, serious collector, and auctioneer wants to liquidate his 50-year+ collections.  During his military career, he traveled the world collecting, buying, and even salvaging from shipwrecks.  Most items are from late 1700's through mid 20th century, but there are much older items, also. This sale is in his home, which is packed with rare and interesting items, and he will be on hand to discuss, explain, and educate as needed.   We are selling not only some of his private stash, but also merchandise that was packed up when he closed his retail shop and auction house. Admission to the home will be limited, and no children are allowed.  This is not your usual estate sale...no clothes, no cute chickens or roosters, no tools, no furniture...Prices are firm, no discounts, but reasonable offers may be made, and bids will be accepted. This is a fantastic opportunity for collectors and on-line resellers!

   Appointments are necessary...Please text Rusty Hilton 409 350-2334 with name and preferred date/time.  Time slots will be filled in the order that texts are received.  I will confirm with the address.
