By: Woody Auction Mr. Blessing was a long-time resident of Kearney, Nebraska, and began collecting quality Victorian antiques many years ago. Early on, he developed a love of silverplate items, especially pickle castors and brides' baskets. His dream was to turn his Kearney warehouse into a fully displayed showroom of the finest antiques available and to host large dinner parties surrounded by the Victorian atmosphere. As with many collectors, Ron's tastes evolved, and French cameo art glass became another passion. Consequently, he managed to acquire some of the most sought-after pieces in the country. His antiques needed to be properly displayed, so Ron commenced collecting only the finest furniture, by makers such as R.J. Horner, A.J. Johnson, Meeks, Belter, Pottier & Stymus, Karpen, Phillip Kopp and Oriel. "It is indeed an honor for Woody Auction to present Part One of one of the finest collections of Victorian antiques to be found anywhere," said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. "All 312 lots will sell at public auction to the highest bidder without reserve. Mr. Blessing's estate collection is so massive it needed to be broken up into two auctions. Part Two will happen in March 2023." There are several gorgeous, genuine turn-of-the- A preview will be held on Friday, October 28th, from 1-5 Central time in the Douglass auction hall, for all of the antiques and small furniture items (but not the heavy furniture pieces and groupings).
