Antiques and Collectibles can surprise one as to value. Ask questions of people you trust as to what they think,if not bring in a Auction Service's with no commitment. If you decide to go that route,remember,they will charge up to 30% commission.

We help family members in your situation, found a local Auction Service who came in and did a fair estimate and we later had the same People do the clean out with the proceeds of Sale at 20%. Always look at it this way,if it seems to go to throw,well,some ones trash could be some ones treasure.
