Top Picks: Northeast Auction's Annual Marine, China Trade, and Sporting Sale

Are your leaves starting to change color yet? It's been so dry here as of late and I think that stress has spun the maples into an early Autumn. I love Autumn leaves though, so I can't complain. How about one last dose of summer before we all turn our thoughts to apple picking and back to school shopping!
Northeast Auction has their annual Marine sale coming up on August 16th. You can view the entire fantastic catalog here, but here are my personal favorites!

Lovely color on these antique serving pieces.
