American Antiques Auction conducts monthly Estate Treasures Auctions the
first Thursday evening of each month. The sales are free, and open to the
public. The sales usually include: antique furniture, rugs, paintings,
jewelry, silver, glassware, pottery, porcelain, china, bronzes, and clocks.
The sales are often highlighted with various "collections." In the
past year alone we sold the Dreyfus Enameled Pocket- Watch Collection, the
Vandevender Battery-Operated Toy Collection, the Carraturo Regina Music-Box
Collection and the Minicozzi Cookie-Jar Collection to name a few. There is
routinely an early-preview the night before the auction from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. And the preview continues at 4:00 pm the day of the sale. Customers are welcome to inspect throughout the sale. The sales are conducted at the Elks Lodge, 375 Old Post Road, Edison, NJ. Public transportation is available.  October 7th, 1999
