Gould Auction Company is honored to have
been chosen as auctioneers of the personal property and antiques of
the late Adelaide and Len Zanke of Watch Hill, Westerly, Rhode
Island. This entire 2 day sale, but for a handful of market
fresh additions, consisted of the never before offered and
totally market fresh collection that the Zankes assembled in over 50
years of combing the early attics, barns, cellars and homes of the
South County Rhode Island area. Most of their collection was
gathered from nearby homes and farms long before “Country” became
popular. Adelaide was well known for her knowledge and keen eye for
early antiques and folk art. When adding something to her
collection, she was particularly discriminating when it came to
condition. Her small shop in the back yard was a Mecca for the
locals as well as tourists. She was born and raised in Westerly and
was very active in her beloved hometown. Her husband Len, after
playing minor league baseball for many years, became the New England
scout for the New York Mets. He enjoyed collecting baseball
memorabilia, golf clubs, toys and bottles. Together, they filled
their home with these many treasures. Now, upon their passing Gould
Auction Company is truly honored to have offered their superb collection.
