Rich Penn Presents Fall Three-Day Sale Nov. 12 To 14 Auction Will Be Three Sessions At Two Sites With Everything From Tiffany To Steiff To Rolls-Royce Rich Penn will hold a three-day auction of over 1,700 lots plus uncataloged sessions beginning Friday, Nov. 12, at 10 a.m., in the main floor of the Historic Black’s Department Store Building at 501 Sycamore St. in downtown Waterloo, Iowa. This impressive eight-story building, built in 1913, was once recognized as “the Midwest’s finest department store.” It serves as the perfect venue for a walk through time of a still elegant interior showcasing fantastic offerings, which will all sell unreserved. The sale features the collection of Verner and Donna Nelson and will sell only to on-site bidders. There will be no internet participation until the cataloged session, beginning at noon.
“Excavating the 501 building was a real adventure. Great pieces were stuffed away on just about every floor. In the catalog session at noon, if there were to be a department store for stained glass, this could be the beginning. Dozens of stained glass window sets with monumental examples from the early 1900s are included. Numerous entryways with doors and sidelights and several with overhead stained bay panels will all be sold. Those entries could welcome you into homes with elaborately carved Victorian furnishings including mantles, marble topped dressers, dining tables and carved chairs sets, even a Hallet & Davis Concert Grand piano. For the more traditional era homes, there
is country pine, oak ice boxes, stacking bookcases and more. Also offered are early apothecary wall cabinets and a variety of country store cabinetry, plus post office and bank teller windows. With well over 200 room ready pieces to choose from, there is something to fit any collector’s home,” according to Penn. Other unusual offerings include a monumental five-footdiameter copper cheese vat and a Brunswick “Monarch” pool table, as well as vintage and antique floor showcases. For the aspiring publisher, there is a Chandler & Price ca. 1900 printing press with hundreds of cuts and historic local advertising signs from the area. Session two and three
