ABOUT "R&V"
The "R" is Rick Barton, and the "V" is
Vicky Balander--both
natives of Roanoke, Virginia, with extensive experience in
antiques and collectibles. Vicky has over 20 years to her
credit, first assisting
her mother, Gloria Balander--a noted appraiser and merchant in the Roanoke
area for many years. Rick was an avid collector of a wide assortment of goods for over 30 years.
Sadly, we lost our treasured friend on January 10, 2012. However, their
years together culminated in an impressive range of
knowledge in a wide variety of antique and collectible merchandise.

ABOUT OUR
BUSINESS & SERVICES
Most of our estate work is done at the request of bank trust departments and
estate attorneys. Typically, we determine the value of household
goods and personal property in the estate. If desired, we can
facilitate the family division or liquidate the remaining property in a
"tag" sale, where unlike an auction, each item's price is marked.
Some
clients find us through our sales or simply by word-of-mouth. We email announcements of upcoming sales
as well as post the information on our website, including
photos of highly collectible or unusual items. |

PLEASE NOTE

Check out our
CALENDAR for details on upcoming sales.
Occasionally adverse weather or other circumstances cause sale dates or
times to be rescheduled at the last minute, so please check back here for
any changes.

CONTACT US page to report any website problems you may
experience to our web designer and general gopher, Becky Kiser.
