Recommend an Estate company in San Diego

This is a stab in the dark but can anyone recommend an estate company in the San Diego area? I am work to sell my late husband thousands of collectibles. We were working with a company in South Florida but they weren’t great, so we brought most of the collection with us to California.

I haven’t found a company to work with out here so I haven’t been selling things myself slowly but it’s overwhelming. Let me know. Thank you.

Perfume Bottles

Just to share. I was really surprised to come across these in my relative’s estate. He collected a lot and loved bottles in general but didn’t tend to collect “feminine” things.

To me the Morano glass pieces are just gorgeous

Bonus: when I was cleaning out the clear bottle I could smell the perfume of the previous owner. That was really cool. But let me know if any that tips about cleaning solidified perfume from hard to reach places.

Bottles from a privy in Australia

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share these bottles. These are from my late husband's collection. He told me they came from a privy discovered when he was building his house in Australia. My favorite thing about these is that there is a bit of opalescent oxidation on all of them.

I think my favorite is the long neck castor oil bottle.

I am going through a large inherited coin collection, and I was excited about this Walking Liberty and more excited about the “uncirculated” on the card. But to my learning eye, it looked worn. We have other uncirculated coins, and the details are crisp. But it was under two layers of plastic. I took it out, and there are clear scratches. To me, it looks circulated and worn.
I am still happy to have her in the collection. I would love others’ thoughts.

Hello everyone,

My son and I inherited these masks from an estate. I think they are extraordinary and I love them but I have not been able to find any information about them.

They are large between 24 inches and 40 inches and look like they were used and worn.

I wound appreciate any information and resources do I can find further research.

. Thanks!

My son and I inherited a large collection of Australian coins. We are in the US. My husband was from Geelong in Victoria.

It’s been fun going through them and learning about the different coins. We have some silver proofs, lots of proofs from the 70s/80s, and some from the early 90s. He liked to get multiples of the proofs from each year.

We do have a 1923 half penny. No 1930 penny. He did have a penny in that slot facing the wrong way. I held my breath when I popped it out, but no joy. I think he wanted to see the album filled because some of the coins aren’t the right variations in the slots.

I love the Penny and half penny albums. He got them when he was ten. I know he must have had fun filling them.

I would love any insight on what proof years are more significant. And resources we can use for research.
