There are so many treasures in this auction that is a collection from three generations of the McIntosh family of Princeton, WV. Clarence “Mack” and his wife Lena owned McIntosh Garage, a gas station and auto repair shop which was located on their property and this building still stands today. Their son William worked in this garage for many years and he and his wife Louise lived in a house just above the gas station. They had a love of flying and owned their own small plane. William worked as a pilot for Pocahontas Fuel where he flew coal mine owners back and forth to the mines. 

Their daughter Valerie and her husband Joe also live on this same property and have held onto many of the antiques from her parents and grandparents. Louise moved into a mobile home on the property years ago, and at age 86 now resides in a nursing home due to declining health.

This auction features pieces collected by this family for over 100 years including some equipment and tools used at the gas station and auto repair, a Honda 90 motorcycle, a Scoot-N-Go electric scooter, some vintage license plates and a 2001 Buick Century. 

Louise has an impressive collection of vintage handmade quilts, and many are featured in this sale. Some antiques of note include a Philco floor model radio, a Thomas Edison Amberola Cylinder Phonograph, a large collection of American Fostoria glassware, and antique Pyrex. She also had quite an extensive jewelry collection featuring many vintage brooches, watches, and gold and silver necklaces. Her love for Christmas shows in some of the festive seasonal lots. Happy Bidding!
