FAR 668 - The Lifetime Collection of the Vassar Family, Part 1

Farmer Auctions would love to offer you the opportunity to step back in time to experience the Antique collection of Regina and Steve Vassar. Steve and Gina were both born of families with deep roots to the areas of Bedford, Roanoke and Buchanan. Once together, Steve and Gina opened a booth at the old Happy's Flea Market building in Roanoke VA. They named it This and That Antiques. When the booth closed, they continued to build their personal collection in their historic 1880s home in Elliston. They spent their time outside of collecting taking care of numerous farm animals. While family was often invited into the home, perhaps no one knew just how incredible this collection is until now! While every piece is fantastic we would like to draw your attention to some items that stand out including Collections of Gold Coins $2.50, $5, $10, $20 Pieces, 14Kt Gold & Sterling Jewelry, Tobacco Tins, Rare Old Mill Cigarettes Advertisement.
