I received the notice below from a local auction company. They failed to mention that the sale dates are August 30 - September 1.
Empire Antiques Services is proud to announce that we have been chosen to sell the estate of Robert L. Pulley. Mr. Pulley was president of Gulf Power in the 1960s and a president of the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce. This estate sale will be one of the largest conducted in the Florida Panhandle in recent history.
This very unique sale will not only include the estate of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. and Rose C. Pulley, but the estate of Frances C. Pulley. Robert Pulley was an avid outdoorsman and amateur photographer. Rose Pulley was a lifelong collector and former dealer of antiques. Frances moved in the mid-'90s to the Pulley family home from Michigan, where she had coached and taught for 30 years. She also was affiliated with the 1966 Olympic games in Athens Greece.
When Frances inherited the Pulley family home, it was already jammed with antique furniture, collectibles, bric-a-brac, and Rose Pulley's vast doll collection. Frances, the ultimate packrat, filled every remaining nook and cranny in the house, barn and greenhouse, and then added a storage room to accommodate all her collectables, knick-knacks and thousands of books.
In contrast with our usual sale schedule, we will conduct this estate sale Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. (Entry order numbers will be given out at 7:30 a.m.), and on Saturday from 7 a.m.-12 p.m. The sale will close on Saturday at noon, and an auction will begin at 2 p.m. on the sprawling estate. If needed, we will sell remaining items at auction on Sunday, beginning at 2
p.m.
This is definitely a sale that you don't want to miss. Please check our Web site, www.empireantiqueservice.com, on a regular basis because we will be adding photos and content daily. Thank you, and we will see you there. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us:
