Well, these were supposedly from a local family in which the father or grandfather accumulated nice stuff decades ago and it hadn’t seen the light of day since then. Offered at a small auction house. I don’t know whether to post links or not.
Frankly, auctions suck ever since the internet. Anyone with a wallet and an internet connection can play the game.
It was so much better when the bidders usually were only those within the four hallowed walls of the auction house and you thought it dirty pool of someone who wasn’t there left an absentee bid.
