Summer’s almost here, and the auction scene is heating up with a nice starter set of local sales.

Constantine & Mayer

Co-owner Jeff Constantine says the upcoming sale Saturday and Sunday features the estates of Waldo Porter and Gilbert Sprott. While Porter earned a reputation as a first-class electrical contractor, Porter made his reputation as a builder. Between the two of them, they amassed a collection of items that reflected their eclectic tastes. Over the course of two days, 700 lots of items, including an amazing collection of art work by Frank Trapp, will be up for bid. To be part of the fun, stop by at 1301 Pittsburgh St., Cheswick.
