MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. — The estate of “Tiffany” George will be featured in Bodnar’s two-day, online-only auction set for Wednesday, June 22, at 11 am and Thursday, June 23, at 1 pm. George attended Bodnar’s first auction in 1994 and was a staple in the front row, always buying nothing but the best. He bought the first Tiffany lamp at that sale and the rest was history, he was hooked on buying the best items for more than 25 years. His estate is packed with Tiffany, Lalique, clocks, art, sterling, Erte bronzes, figurines and decorative art items. This will be the first of several sales of his collection.

His home was hoarded with antique finds from auctions all over the state of New Jersey. Growing up in Sayreville and South Amboy, N.J., Tiffany was what he loved. “The first time I delivered a large auction purchase I remember even his kitchen sink had Tiffany shades just sitting there!” said Joe Bodnar, owner of Bodnar’s Auction. “His home was like a museum.” His son kept many items to remember his dad, but his home, too, is full and wanted to see his father’s legacy find new homes.
