Occasionally, I'll browse these listings. A sort of jackpot revealed itself today: link I'm not selling anything but wanted to point out the opportunity for those in the Washington DC area. Lots of great looking cabinets. |

Too bad I'm not in that area, lots of interesting items. |

As you say many interesting items. Sad though, with the passing of a life. So here's to you – an unknown 4 Star General – we salute you. You had great taste, I am sure those are some original Willie figures lurking in your cabinets… perhaps you'll bump into Eddie one of these days – he'll be hidimg behind a very large schooner of brandy… |

I live 15 min from there. But of course I am in New York this weekend. I hope the sale goes well for the family. |

Murphy agreed, sad really…. |

I can't figure it. Around here, you're officially dead when the widow calls the local group to dispose of your lead. Those look WAY too much like wargame figures--most of them, anyway--for there not to have been a group. Not like a DCSLOG, which he must have been, not to have made better arrangements. I have, and my stuff isn't worth a fraction of that. |

Went there at 2:00. There was really only one shelf section left, but they were all 25mm Napoleonic's. Very few line units, and not very large ones, say 11 figures usually. Mostly French, I think, one or two units of other nationalities. Painting quality was, well, ok. If I had only know earlier. I knew about the estate sale, the signs were in my neighborhood, but not what was being sold. |

They were not mounted on any bases, so I doubt they were for war games. I'll need to find some matching figures to fill out the few units I got. |

I went at 10:00 am. He didn't appear to be a gamer (no table, terrain, trees, buildings). But he had a good run of Tradition magazines as well as a great block of Empire Eagles & Lions that I picked up. Most of the miniatures were 30mm and thus useless to me. Varying degrees of painting – some most excellent and others just with blocked in colors. There was a handful of Colonials in 8-10 man single-pose units. In the basement was a small selection of Humbrol paints and more colonial flotsam and jetsom. Tons of weird old journals too from way back including a 5 issue set of something called "Le Moniteur" which I picked up. I'm at the point where I have to be so careful buying old books because, odds are I have it already, but I did find a pair of books that were unique to me. And funny, there wasn't a single Osprey in the whole house. There was a hardback pair of Funcken Napoleonics but it was in French (I already have an English pair.) |
