August 9-11: It's Jazzfest on Gavilan in ALbuquerque!

Judy Settle Says:

Landmark is holding a fascinating sale this week at 451 Gavilan NW in Albuquerque. The owner is an avid collector of jazz collectibles and fine antiques. Please join us this Thursday, August 9 from 10 am to 4pm with $1 admission; Friday, August 10, 10 am to 4pm; and Saturday, August 11 from 9am to 3pm. Gavilan is the second left off Fourth Street just north of Montano. There is surely something for everyone in this artist and collectors home.

Jazz memorabilia include sculptures by Dan Meyers (he invented the Absolut Vodka man), signed posters, jazz tile tables, pinball machines and more. But this sale has depth, as he was married to locally famous artist Martha Slaymaker and there are several pieces of her work. Family items include fine antique furnishings from the family home back east, Lunt sterling, Royal Doulton China, Waterford and Baccarat crystal, Seth Thomas and New Haven vintage clocks, Lladro figurines, some mid century pieces and a wide array of interesting treasures. The home is 3945 square feet and packed to the rafters.

I've just listed this fascinating north valley home on .69 acres and it may well be the best value in the valley at $399,900. Let me know if you're interested in talking about the house.

The Landmark crew has lots of tea and cookies ready. We're looking forward to seeing you for this week and tickling your fancy with this outstanding collection.
