Selling without reserve at 6:00 p.m., with a preview at 5:00 p.m. are furniture, including a Mission oak china closet, maple display case, dressers, etc., and miscellaneous and collectible items, including, an early Ovoid stoneware crock by N. Clark, Troy, NY (inset), a Seth Thomas grandfather's clock, Japanese Cloisonné vases, Naval cruise books for aircraft carriers, and a Whirlpool refrigerator.

Auctioneer and broker, Robert "Bob" Connelly, of Connelly Realty, will auction the Real Estate at 133 Grand Ave, Vestal Center (Town of Vestal, Broome County, NY) at 7:00 p.m. (preview Friday, October 20, 2006 from 5:00-7:00 p.m.). The opening bid for the one story circa 1950 ranch house (Tax Map 206.009-3-3.0) on a 60 X 151 lot with 12 X 30 in-ground pool is $30,000.

The six-room house on pier and slab foundation has cedar shake shingle siding, three bedrooms, a bath, and an attic scuttle. The attached garage was converted to a workshop with ceiling-hung furnace, side and rear doors, and a 10 X 10 covered concrete patio at rear. The roof appears very good, but the house shows deferred maintenance and needs TLC.
