Welcome to Auction #72

FRIDAY, MAY 2nd: What could be better than the annual Wallace Nutting Auction & Convention in Corning, New York…home of the Corning Glass Works, the Rockwell Museum…and a short drive from New York States Finger Lakes Region and the famous Finger Lakes Wine Region. Doors open at 12:00 PM for the Auction preview. The Auction will start promptly at 2:00 PM with the Discovery Auction with Lots #1000 - 1073. The eBay Live portion of the Auction will begin at 3:00 PM EST, beginning with Lot #1 and will continue through Lot #493. We expect to finish the Auction by approximately 8:30 PM. The Club Hospitality Suite will open Friday evening and will remain open until the last member leaves.

SATURDAY, MAY 3rd: The 2008 Wallace Nutting Collectors Club Convention will begin at 7:30 AM in the same room at Friday's Auction. Many of the country's leading collectors and dealers will have tables set up around the room and will be there to Buy, Sell, Trade and Display Wallace Nutting Pictures, Books, Furniture, and Memorabilia. The doors open at 7:30 AM, giving all Club Members fair access to the merchandise being offered inside. Table space is available to any member of the Wallace Nutting Collectors Club and can be reserved by calling Jim Eckert at (309)-723-4241.

Following the early morning Buying & Selling Session, the Club will hold its brief annual Business Meeting, to be followed by educational seminars. The afternoon is yours to tour the Finger Lakes Region, visit the Corning Glass Works, the Rockwell Museum, or check out the historic Market Street shopping district (the 2 Museums and Market Street shopping are all located within walking distance of the hotel!).

The Wallace Nutting Weekend will wind down with the Annual Club Dinner…followed by the Hospitality Suite. If you collect Wallace Nutting, you won't want to miss this get-away weekend.
