Having decided to sell our home of 57 years and move into a condo in Sparta, we will sell all listed items at Public Auction. We have enjoyed collecting and using all of these items and invite you to come out to our Auction and purchase them the Auction way.

 

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Gordon & Doris Plescher

 

NOTE: Gordon worked nearly 50 years at Sparta Foundry, retiring in 1998. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening & wood crafting for most of his life. He has accumulated a nice group of fishing, gardening and wood crafting tools, not to mention the sharp John Deere “60” and the well taken care of Chevy pick-up. All must be sold to facilitate the move into the condo.

 

Doris worked over 10 years at Sparta School & 10 years at Sparta Ben Franklin Store. They are both looking forward to less yard and house work and more time traveling.

 

Everything is in very nice condition!! Plan on being on Phelps Ave. at 2:00PM on Oct. 1st for the start of this nice Auction event. For your convenience we will have off street parking across the road, lunch wagon and port-a-jon.
