On August 14 we conducted an auction in Rochester for Scott Van Hooser. Scott had assembled one of the largest collections of seasonal decorations that I have ever seen. Scott also had a huge collection of Dept 56 Dickens Village and New England Village houses. In addition to these items there were numerous pieces of nice old depression glass, antiques, furniture, and household decor items. We were fortunate to have a beautiful day, lots of help in getting the auction ready, and a wonderful crowd of interested bidders. We had 150 bidding numbers at the auction. We sold over 800 lots of merchandise in just under 6 hours. We averaged about 135 lots per hour, which is really moving.
