Estate from Avalon Hills

 Estate from Avalon Hills: A Lifetime of Collecting Excellence

Some estates tell a story of accumulation. This one reveals a lifetime of educated collecting. The distinguished Avalon Hills estate didn't just acquire things—this was collecting with knowledge, purpose, and an eye for quality. Now, this remarkable estate comes to auction: 234 lots spanning numismatics to porcelain, sterling silver to Hollywood history, early American folk art to European treasures.

This February 7th, Burgess Auctions presents one of the most diverse and refined estate collections we've handled in years. Whether you collect complete U.S. Mint sets, hunt for authenticated Hollywood autographs, seek museum-quality European porcelain, or pursue early American painted tin, this auction offers treasures you won't see assembled again.
