Lynn's Estate Sales: A Marine, a Painter, a Storyteller — Mid-Century Treasures & a Rare Family Archive.Some estates tell one story. This one tells generations of them. The owner was a decorated Marine who served on the USS Hancock: Guadalcanal to the pacific all a part of his long career as a US Marine— and in his later years, an engineer, painter, and leader of mountain survival retreats. His home reflects that restless, adventurous spirit, furnished top to bottom in a bold late-1960s and '70s aesthetic, with collectible pieces at every turn. What sets this sale apart, though, is his family's paper trail: photographs that date to the early 1800s, deeds and documents from both France and Germany, and letters from German relatives spanning both World Wars. For collectors of US Services history, vintage photography, or mid-century design, this is a rare and layered find.
