Mr Johnson’s Antiques presents an ESTATE SALE at 3211 Fuhrman Ave E

July 28, 2017 by Mr Johnson's Antiques Leave a Comment

Portage Bay Estate Sale with lots of German Literature, Art & Furniture

This Weekend, July 28 – 30th

Fri 8-4, Sat 8-4, and Sun 9-5

This beautiful craftsman home in the Portage Bay/Eastlake neighborhood was home to German immigrant Ms. Else Sherwin. The estate includes many high quality leather bound German books, art (both of German origin and also from local NW artists), and early 20th century German objects. Ms Sherwin and her son Peter were friends of many NW artists and their collection includes work by Richard S. Breyer (sculptor best known for Fremont’s ‘Waiting for the Interurban’), Oregon metal sculptor John Richen, and German expressionist H. Gortz to name a few.

From Mr. Johnson, “It is my sincere hope that all those academics and bibliophiles who can read German in the new and old (Fraktur) script please attend this sale. I would estimate well over 2000 books (leather bound, hardbacks & paperbacks) comprises Else’s collection and the majority of antique books are in German.”

There will be an “offer list” used to help sell some of the bigger ticket items. If one chooses to make an offer and leaves good contact info, they may receive notice on Saturday evening or on Sunday that their offer has been accepted, unless the item sells of course.
