Recently a supporter of NEBTR passed away bequeathing her very extensive BT collection to aid our rescued Bostons. Too many items to count, but probably 50+ pieces of art (prints, originals, etc) 300 or more statues including several Hubley door stops, 2 pieces of Baldwin bronze sculptures, and several items that are pictured in the Boston Terrier Collectibles book. Lamps, pillows, you name it.
Here is the URL to the listing. Be sure to click on the Photo Gallery too to see thumb nails which can be enlarged if you click on it.

The auction takes place on Saturday, September 1 starting at 5:30pm
Unfortunately the auction house (George Cole Auctions in Red Hook, NY) does not have the eye that we all have for a "real find" and have, in several cases, put the real gems in lots. They also mistakenly describe many as French Bulldogs, etc. Here are some that are listed in the Boston Terrier Collectibles book.
Items #84; 95A; 95B - cast iron door stops from 20's.
Item #122 - signed Baldwin BT bronze (estimated value $500+)
Item #109 - Signed Baldwin Pug bronze (probably similar value)
Item #331 in the pic gallery, but #330 in the written list - 3 BT lamps. 2 of which are listed in the Collectibles book - each lamp is worth over $125
Item #340 -Tray of figurines, but the tall one in the back is on a music box and pictured in the Collectibles Book with a value of over $125
Many, many more exciting items.
