Wonderful Holidays to all you happy people. Rare-Fine and crew would like to invite you to one of the best, fun filled, extravagant Estate Sales we have ever hosted.

Extravagant due to the owner buying about every sort of woodworking tool imaginable, and often more than one. Drill presses, band saws, table saws, power drills (I think we counted eight), some almost new and all working as they should. All housed in a wonderful large “Carpenters’ Gallery”.

The house itself is warm and wonderful with extremely nice furnishings including two corner cabinets, one cherry Henkel, lots of Christmas decor, sixteen rooms all with items ready to go home with you to add to your special season’s activities. Beautiful dinning furniture and accessories, a complete walk-in pantry, artwork worth collecting, cameras both film & digital, many Asian-style carpets. The office houses not only a large quantity of office supplies and books, but several plaques awarded by the Navy. Two model ships, a copper Port ship’s lantern. Among the furnishings you will find an assortment of fine pigs, including some of heavy cast iron. Music? Wow does this house have everything you need from quality electronic components/speakers to CDs and, yes, vinyl is back and there must be hundreds of musical albums. The owner has music components in every workplace to enjoy his tunes in almost every room.

A few steps up the hill brings you to the three bay “mechanic’s garage” with a nicely restored 1929 Model A Ford that is available as well as a good selection of assorted wrenches and other tools. In the 3rd bay there are all kinds of wood pieces from molding, scraps from past woodworking projects and about a half dozen full sheets of plywood. This is where all the gardening tools are stored, chain saws, electric and gas operated hedge trimmers, a multi-collection of Black & Decker “Fire Storm” cordless tools.

So come and join us for this weekend’s sale, one you won’t forget and pick up some nice gifts for family and friends and especially for yourself.

9520 Rogers Dr., Nassawadox, Virginia

Saturday, October 12, 2019
9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.

Numbers for addmitance to the sale will be handed out at 8:00 A.M. You will be addmitted in the order of the number that you recieved. One number per person. Please be sure to bring help to carry any large items to your car.

This weeks estate sale takes place in what was once a very “up-scale” lovely neighborhood owned largely by Doctors that was very convenient to the nearby hospital in Nassawadox. Most of the homes are still wonderful and very well maintained. This one is no exception with nice Asian carpets, gorgeous furnishings, interesting art and dinner ware ready for holiday entertaining. Be sure to check out the photo gallery.

The beautiful dining table can become a banquet table by adding the two Demi lune extensions at either/both ends. The 6 chairs are adorned with the most beautiful hand crafted needlepoint seats.

The matching side board will be the perfect addition to your holiday meals as well as several sets of china including Wedgwood’s “OLD VINE.”

As you enter the house you will see the antique victorian settee and occasional chairs that look like they have never been sat on. The small drop front desk is perfect for most any room. If you are in the market for a truly lovely new sofa the off white one is just what you might be looking for. There is a large 6 drawer dresser with a mirror that would be a nice addition to any bedroom. Winter is coming and we have two sets of brass fireplace tongs and equipment as well as logs for your gas fireplace

There is a single size adjustable bed with memory foam mattress that will give you a wonderful nights sleep.

The drop leaf table would be perfect for a small kitchen or could be used as a desk for your computer.

The sun room is filled with nice rattan furniture including a sofa and matching chair as well as a glass top table and 4 chairs. The oriental style carpet on the floor is like new and measures 9’x12′.

In the den is a very nice dark red Oriental rug that measures 10’x15′. A perfect rug for a larger living room or bedroom.

Take a walk upstairs to see all the hidden treasures that we found in the attic. Lots of art to adorn walls and an assortment of books that will make you want to start reading again. We even found some local books on the Eastern Shore.

The small Haywood Wakefield round mid century coffee table was a real surprise.

We also found what we believe to be an antique Hitchcock rocker with a rush seat. What a charming little chair.

In one of the other bedrooms is a very nice canopy bed. It was once a rope bed that has been converted to a regular full size bed with mattress and box springs. There are at least two canopies for the bed and they will be included in the purchase. There are several sheets and pillow cases to fit the bed.

There is a wonderful pine dressing table and drop front desk that are the perfect addition to a teenager’s room.

In the garage you will see a few of the usual garage items as well as two riding lawn mower/grass cutters, a John Deere and a Snapper and a King O’ Lawn Gas edger. All appear to be workable with a little maintenance.

There are several outdoor treasures including a charming black wrought iron table and two chairs and two additional arm chairs. A mid century white table with 4 chairs, a nice wrought iron settee and an assortment of bird feeders for all our feathered friends.

A few of you got lost looking for the last sale and I really do not want that to happen this time so I have included written directions as well as map quest directions:

Lankford Hwy. (Hwy. 13) to Rogers Dr. (road to Little Italy restaurant and old Hospital in Nassawadox). Turn west on Rogers Dr. To 9520 Rogers Dr. The house is on the left. Watch for Pink and Black directional signs. This will be a fun sale and we are looking forward to seeing you all there this Saturday.
