My father-in-law collected antique dishes and furniture. He had a thing for walnut. If a piece of furniture wasn't solid walnut, he didn't want it.
He died in 1980 and my mother-in-law in 1985. My wife and I have had several auctions to get rid of surplus. We still have a lot, both displayed in our home and in storage.
If you're thinking of getting rid of any, find an auctioneer who specializes in the type of antiques you have. If you don't have enough for a full auction of your own, most auctioneers are happy to fatten out someone else's.
You have to watch it, though, and watch the bidders. I caught one lady putting a high dollar dish in with a box of nickel and dime stuff. She figured she'd buy the box for pennies and have the high dollar piece with it. I took the high dollar piece back out, sat it by itself, and watched it until it sold.
On another auction, a cut glass vase of ours sold for $385. The buyer then claimed he could see a minute crack in it, and complained to the auctioneer to try to get the price reduced. The auctioneer came over to my wife and I and said, "I've had trouble with that SOB trying that before". We called it a "no sale". If the auctioneer had run it again, it's doubtful it would have brought the same price the second time. We still have it.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
