2010 ALL HEISEY BENEFIT AUCTION

Dave Spahr

 

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Get out your 2010 calendar! The dates have been set for the 2010 Benefit Auction- our 37th. It will be held on April 9th and 10th, 2010, at the GMP Local 244 Union Hall on 350 Hudson Ave in Newark, OH. Auctioneer Craig Connelly and his crew will again auction off all of our wonderful glass!

 

It is quite early and Walter informed we have received several consignments at the Museum so far. We also have some glass to put in which came in as a result of HCA policy on taking consignments of member’s collections. (If you want to know more about the policy please see the link at the bottom of the Auction page on the Museum web site or contact me).  Remember, the deadline for sending in your consignment and/or donation for us to sell for the benefit of the Museum is January 15, 2010.  Remember, each member can consign 40 lots. There is no limit on lots you can donate nor do they count against the 40 lot maximum that you can consign. If you or someone you know is coming to the Museum or the general Columbus-Newark area, you might have them bring your glass to the Museum so you will know it gets there safely and also eliminate shipping costs.  I would encourage you to visit the Museum and see the Museum decorated in its entire splendor on December 5th at the Open House or just any time you are in the area.  What a sight!  Oops - got off subject.... If you need a packing list or contract, please follow these links:    Contract      Packing List. Remember, please send TWO contacts with your glass and I’ll return a signed copy to you. Please also remember to put a spare packing list in each box of glass – make our volunteer catalogers happy!

 

The success of this event is dependent on you and other members consigning or donating good clean problem-free glass.  We are again going to work on improving the quality of the items sold in the auction.  With you consigning or donating good glass, the values obtained for the glass should be higher which benefits you and the Museum.

 

If you have questions about the auction or you wish to volunteer to help, please contact me at 937.372.7166 or by e-mail at masdgs@aol.com.  See you at the museum on December 5th for the Christmas Open House! Happy Heisey Hunting! ©
