Don't Miss the Auction February 17!
 We
hope to see many of you during the Fenton Gift Shop's
President's Day festivities February
15-18. One of the
highlights will be the auction of 250 lots on Sunday, February
17, at the Fenton factory. There will be a preview will be at 11am with the auction to begin at noon.
Fenton historian James Measell organized this auction, so we
asked him to tell us more about it. "There is quite a variety,"
Jim said, "from a few older pieces and lots of color samples
from the 1960s to one-of-a-kind items from Dave Fetty or Frank
Workman as well as our cameo carvers, Kelsey Murphy and Robert
Bomkamp. I had a lot of fun preparing the auction listing
because so many items had original stickers on them. This will
be a great auction." View the auction listing and pictures on
the auctioneer's web site:
