I need to start paying more attention to these guys in the future...they sell a lot of really nice stuff! The upcoming auction on April 27 has a "Horner" bookcase (very understated for Horner, if it is Horner) as well as a good spattering of Empire dressers. The prize-pig in the upcoming auction appears to be a 18th-century Hepplewhite secretary with some hefty provenance.
Their past sales results are nice to thumb through...lots of Victorian furniture, with sales prices.

Thanks for the link, I'm looking for more quality OH auctions now that I live in Dayton.
Ohio has some nice auction houses. I'm surely not familiar with all of them, but my list of places with good websites are as follows.
http://www.cowanauctions.com/index.asp - Cowan's -- one of the best, I'm told
http://www.treadwaygallery.com/index.html - Treadway's -- lots of 20th century, but an occasional surprise
http://www.stuartholman.com/index.html - Stuart Holman -- good stuff
http://www.forsythesauctions.com/ - Forsythe -- appears to be infrequent, but they have had nice stuff
http://fuscoauctions.com/ - Fusco -- sports memorabilia, but they occasionally have antiques...and, since they do mostly sports, most folks don't think about buying antiques there...good bargains when they have antique furniture.
I was born in Richmond, Indiana . . . not far from Dayton. I didn't really grow up there though and I rarely get the chance to drive down through Ohio and Indiana anymore. Perhaps you can scout out some items at these auction houses for the other members here ;) .
Thank you,
Jason
