Sunny and very cold
Sunny and very cold
Invaluable Contacts Me
I'm always amazed when coincidences happen. Perhaps I'm just aware more of them, but I seem to always have them. What happened about 2 weeks ago is that I was checking out many people, and auctioneers, who have helped me out in the past. One of the these companies is Stout Auctions.
Stout Auctions promotes themselves as "America's premier auction house for Lionel, American Flyer, Ives, MTH, and other scale and toy trains". The company had granted me permission to write about them a few years ago, and this week, they were on my mind, since I am returning to writing once more on my blog.
The "coincidence" was that I received an e-mail from a very popular auction Internet company that Stout Auctions happens to use. The name of the company is Invaluable. Mr. Sam Harding, from Invaluable had written to ask if I might announce the Stout Auctions and select some noteworthy lots. I wrote back to Sam that I would for sure. Stout Auctions had been very kind to let me use their photos, and I would be happy to help out. What I like about Stout , is that they photograph their items very well. This helps to provide viewers and potential bidders with nice images to see.
Sam Harding, from Invaluable wrote that the auction would be on May 15, 16, and 30 of 2015. Sam write the following below for me to mention to you, my readers.
"Stout Auctions is proud to offer for auction an outstanding and diverse selection of trains, accessories, catalogs, books, parts and Railroadiana from various estates and private collections.
