Douglass, KS, USA, February 14, 2024 — The outstanding longtime antiques collection of Harold and Joeleen Passow of Iowa will come up for bid on Saturday, March 2nd, at 9:30 am Central time, by Woody Auction, online and live in the Douglass auction hall at 130 E. Third Street. Online bidding is via LiveAuctioneers.com. As always at Woody Auction, all 438 lots in this sale will be sold to the highest bidder without reserves.
An automated online-only sale of the items that didn’t fit in Saturday’s event will be offered on Friday, March 1st, starting at 8 am Central time.
“Harold and Joeleen Passow have been longtime collectors of some incredible genres of antiques through the years,” said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. “After recently celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary, they made the decision to sell their collection at public auction, just like they purchased many of the items.” An in-gallery preview will be held on Friday, March 1st, from 1-5 pm.
The Passow collection has a strong showing of Royal Bayreuth, R.S. Prussia, art glass, pottery, lamps, and furniture (which includes Belter, Meeks, and Alexander Roux items). There is no buyer’s premium for those in attendance (when paying with cash or check). Please note that furniture and large items must be picked up by a professional shipper or in person (in Douglass, Kansas) by Friday, March 15th.
Woody Auction has attempted to call any flaws that can affect the value of an item. Condition reports are not available for online only auctions, but Woody Auction will stand behind the items’ condition. Common nicks and scratches have not been called. The prevailing sales tax will be charged to all buyers unless they are reselling the items. In this case, a sales tax exemption license must be provided.
