FAR 669 - Obenshain Estate of Botetourt County

We are pleased to present the outstanding Patricia Obenshain Estate. Patricia worked many years at the Apple Barn while her husband, Cary, owned his own Esso gas station. This couple liked to "bring their work home" evidenced by their collection of Esso and Texaco advertising and ephemera and Department 56 Christmas décor such as the Dickens Heritage Village, Billy Buttons snowmen, and Willow Tree figurines and Cats Meow collectibles. They also have quite the coin collection sifting through coins from years of working at the gas station. Patricia had very fine taste when it came to furniture, jewelry, and art. Wonderful pieces of furniture include a Lane cedar chest, an amazing antique corner cabinet and an immaculate Tom Seely cherry wood bedroom set. She also was the proud owner of some amazing jewelry including many gold pieces, diamonds, and other fine stones. Patricia had over 30 P. Buckley Moss framed art pieces. The property is situated in beautiful Botetourt County with an amazing sweeping view of the farm they owned and worked. This auction contains farm equipment used to keep this farm looking beautiful including a John Deere 1450 tractor, Ford 4610 II tractor, as well as a few trailers, John Deere hay rake, New Holland 640 Auto Wrap baler and post hole driver. Other incredible pieces of interest on this wonderful estate include a vintage Michigan cash register, a Piedmont Candy Company candy jar, secretary desks, Bassett Furniture washstand, hand stitched quilts, vintage toys, crocks and apple crates from local orchards.
