Route 32 Auctions did a good job with the auctions on Thursday night and Friday and it never hurts when the auction consists of Ron Throckmorton's Collection.
One class act of Route 32 was to take time and say a prayer before each auction including asking for protection and thanks to all our soldiers around the world.
It was a lot of fun to be there in person and bidding on items that were mostly in 9-10 condition.
I sat up front with My wife Joanne and Kevin Frith and The only problems we ran into was someone sure wanted the items we did more than we did....LOL We kept joking that we must have Good taste!
I also had a nice conversation with Lonnie and Aaron Hop about us remembering that we have been going to the IG auctions for so long that we remember when nice 6 foot porcelain signs were too big to want and would sell for $25........I sure miss the old days!!!
