Together, he and Lola built a home and a life full of the things they loved. Now offered at auction, this auction presents a lifetime of carefully gathered personal property to the public for the first time. This auction delivers an exceptional cross-section of American antiques and collectibles, headlined by a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver gravy ladle dated 1871 in its original Union Square presentation box - a standout piece by any measure.   Precious metal buyers will find plenty to pursue, including an 18K gold Byzantine chain necklace and bracelet set (~33 grams), a 254-gram sterling silver lot, and 133 pre-1965 silver dimes.   Glass collectors won't want to miss the extensive Seneca Glass holdings in the red Driftwood pattern, Blenko, Morgantown, carnival, and depression glass, complemented by a large accumulation of Spode Christmas pieces spanning platters, wine glasses, dishes, mugs, and more. Regional pottery is well represented with multiple lots of Blacksville Pottery and a T.F. Reppert stoneware jug.   Furniture highlights include an East Lake marble-top dresser with glove boxes and mirror, large oak China cabinet, Mission style oak rocker, and a substantial 20-gun cabinet.   Rounding out the sale: primitive kitchen items, pewter including Bicentennial plates,   Directions: From 68 East to Cumberland Exit 7 857 to Airport and 705: turn left onto Cheat Rd. to Morgantown, in 1.1 miles turn right onto Point Marion Rd., in 1.3 miles turn left and the home will be on your right.   ONLINE PERSONAL PROPERTY AUCTION TERMS:   Bidding Errors: All bids are binding and final once an item has sold.
