What a windfall, an honor and a gift to behold as well as work within the confines of this elderly home, the surrounding land, the sheds, garage, basement and attic, not to mention the amazing collection that has unfolded before our eyes. When we first walked into the home after the crew had been staging it for Mike’s video all I could say way “Oh My God” in loud screeches over and over again. I jumped up and down in excitement with what I saw had happened in just three full days of prep. From segment to segment, room to room, floor to floor it was like the biggest treasure trove I have ever seen, not to mention the most eclectic bunch of stuff I could every imagine.
What a fun filled week and weekend we have in store for you all up in the golden hills of San Andreas in Calaveras County. You may never get another chance to dig through this sort of history or jam-packed estate sale again, especially not in this sort of a setting so grab your boxes, put on your gloves and come on up to help us empty this generational jumble of an amassed collection from a huge farm house, plenty of sheds and garage, and all sorts of yard and land items that must go by Saturday afternoon.
Buck Kelly and his wife Mildred were well known up in Calaveras County, (Click the link at the top of the webpage to open up a newspaper article on Buck Kelly), as was evidenced by his pharmaceutical coat and drug store items left down in the basement along with little memories of their drug store soda fountain.

The first room you will enter at the front door is full of postcards and records, kids books, family photos, Duncan Fyfe furniture, a huge assortment of Desert Rose Franciscan with some very rare pieces, lots of fun colored early McCoy pottery, 50s art deco glassware, pie bird, tin trays and brightly decorated with wonderful scenes of long ago. From that room you can circle around the dated 40s tiled kitchen with gads of Guardian ware, vintage dishes and bright red and lots of black, art deco chrome appliances from juicers to mixers, plenty of silverware and lots of knick knacks. Going around through the next door brings you smack-dab into the den with enough books, silverware and office supplies to whet your appetite for even more
