Box of Bird Feathers (2024)

Deals will be found as we conduct the 3rd McWilliams Estate Auction. As we unpack boxes, we come across a wide variety of items that have no rhyme or reason with one another and don't carry much value on their own. We've attempted to group items together as best we can, but this auction is to move the mountian of stuff so we may continue to open more boxes.

Scroll through all the lots and look close as some are a table full of stuff! Gary McWilliams was a longtime antique dealer and collector in the St. Paul area, and his collection of items ranges from Art pottery, art glass, primitives, Mid Century Modern, advertising, fine art, furniture and everything in between. We've packed some nice box lots together that can't be passed up!

Mr. McWilliams now calls Navada home and must liquidate his assets. Unfortunately, back in November of 2023 his home was burglarized and a portion of the home was set on fire. The home will be torn down, but not before saving the vintage and antique treasures that still lie within it. Because of the fire, some items will and/or may have the smell of smoke or soot on them. The inspection will be done by appointment only. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. We have tested a few items to see how well they clean up, and everything has scrubbled up with a little elbow grease. But of course, we can't guarantee that.

Winning bidders will receive an email/text with instructions for pickup in Coon Rapids. If for some reason you are unable to pick up your item on the scheduled removal day. Please text 763-913-7078 to try and make other arrangements. Items not picked up within 48 hours after the initial removal day will be considered abandoned and placed back up for auction.

We still have plenty of boxes to open, and we'll have at least two more auctions for Mr. McWilliams estate. Follow Buster Lee Auctions on Facebook to see all our current and upcoming auctions.
