This weekend offers a famous field auction in Sterling

On Sunday, the monthly Glass Famous Field Auction will be held in Sterling, Connecticut.

All items will be sold to the highest bidder, and much of what's offered will be in lots. There is a minimum starting bid of $5.00, with no reserves.

Some of the items expected to be sold include antiques, collectibles, furniture, cars, estate goods, china, glass, old toys, books, jewelry, vintage clothing, tools, farm equipment, tractors, and motorcycles – from one item to one thousand at a time!

Once you've won and paid, immediate removal is expected. There is help to haul your purchases to your car. Field gophers are available: These are young adults who work for tips, not for the auction.

Preview is at 8 a.m. No absentee bids are allowed. Buyers pay cash on the spot. No credit cards or checks accepted. There is a 10% buyer’s premium added and .06% CT state sales tax will apply unless you register as a dealer. Dealers must wear a tax exempt label visible to the auctioneer.
