We are excited to present another estate sale full of treasures! This is the estate of Paul Stenseth, who served in the Air Force in Vietnam during the 1960s. You will see several artifacts from the war, and these all have the provenance of belonging to Paul. This includes some military patches, Vietnam maps actually used in combat, two caps from a visit Walter Cronkite made to Da Nang in 1965. Paul was the Puplic Affairs officer appointed to this, and one of the caps is actually Walter Cronkite's (!!!!!)
It's not just military, though... There are many neat antiques and collectibles--some from around the world. Brass figurines, birthing chairs, etc etc etc==far too many to list!
Another key category is silver and gold. This includes multiple jewelry pieces, and also a large sterling silverware set.
There are also a number of nice sporting goods- items from grandchildren. This includes several goalie gear pads, gloves, helmets, etc, golf clubs, baseball gloves, etc.
