Stephenson’s To Auction Sally Goodman’s Antiques With Few Exceptions, New Hope, Pa., Dealer’s Sale Will Be Unreserved Quality stock from long-established New Hope, Pa., antiques dealer Sally Goodman will be auctioned on Friday, Feb. 19, at Stephenson’s suburban Philadelphia gallery. A member of the Bucks County Antiques Dealers Association, Goodman has been active in the trade since 1978.
