Frank and Bev Cornish were very well-known local collectors. Bev passed away a few years ago, and Frank just recently. I am proud to have been approached by the family to liquidate Frank’s estate. As we all know, Frank always called it as he saw it, and to have him want his family to have me help in this liquidation is a great honor. Frank’s family also suffered another loss; his daughter-in-law’s mom, Beatrice Bartoo of Richburg, recently passed away too, so we have moved some of her items to Frank’s to round out the auction. We have also included a handful of wonderful items from the Arliss Ransom estate of Hunt, New York, including an extremely rare and desirable 1800s Ransom hammer dulcimer. This will be a nice auction for you to attend folks. Remember, “If it’s a S.R.
