Go to Auction

[Pat]

Hi Leslie:
This auction house is: Gilbert Auction House near Effort, Pa.  Yes, I have seen
flower vases there, but I don't remember what they went for.  Most of their
McCoy items are in excellent condition.  As I said in my first post I don't
collect McCoy, so don't pay much attention.  I will be more alert now that I see
so much interest in McCoy.
