A Return Visit to
American Antique Auctions
I hadn't written a blog post for American Antique Auctions in a long time. So I wrote to them to ask for permission to write a blog post for them. I received a fast reply from Mr.Vince Sarchese, one of the 2 owners of this excellent auction company. He gave me the permission, but took the time to write a small biography of the company and how the auction toy industry is at this point in time. His writing and description were excellent, and I replied that he should be writing a blog. Of course, he's busy enough with his company.
You're probably wondering why I included the guitar below.
The answer was that it was a beautiful guitar that was photographed
so simple, yet it made the Guild Starfire IV Guitar #1357 stand out so majestically.
Of course, I did gather a nice grouping of toys from this auctioneer.

As I checked my e-mail 2 days after I posted this post, I received a surprise
e-mail from Mr. Vince Sarches, one of the owners of
American Antique Auctions.
It was the trio of excellently-photographed
images of a Ferdinand Strauss Santa Claus with a pair of reindeers.
And so, even it is only the beginning of November,
I would like to wish each and everyone who visits
and sees this post, a Merry Christmas,
and a Healthy and Happy New Year.
