If anyone is interested from a historical or furniture perspective, The Potomack Company held the sale recently for the estate of General Powell.
Furniture starts on page 7. Really cool other items too.

You know what is interesting, is how the auction house completely were off base on those pre-sale estimates, by a long shot. I have been to Potomack auctions many times, even bought a few pieces from them. They are knowledgeable enough to get the basics on many things, but they really miss on many specifics and take a wild guess. Lesson there is take with a grain of sale what they say something is worth - they are not experts. If you know what you are looking for, you can make quite a score in auctions houses unless you come up against another bidder who is also knowledgeable. With the Powell collection, they looked at everything as if it was owned by a regular Joe, but it wasn't. It was owned by Colin Powell and there are many ex-military with good salaries in WashDC that will pay for his memorabilia.
That was interesting to look through. But the missess on the furniture don't compare to this one, lol:

Oh wow I missed that one. I did chuckle that the Beatles collection went for more than most of the other items at $10K.
