A large portion of this month's auction has come from two antique stores in Richmond, IL. "Hiram's Uptown" and "A Little Bit Antiques". These shops had been owned and operated by Connie and Dick Blanchette who had been in the antique business for over 34 years. The amount of inventory has been almost overwhelming. Our transportation department has been at the shops packing and loading our trucks for the past 4 weeks and as of this writing we're finally getting close to finishing. Because of this, much of the sale is still to be unpacked. Not only is the inventory going to be sold but all the showcases also. The next few months will have more and more from these well known shops. Along with the shops we will also be selling the contents of several estates from the Chicago area.
