Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals is pleased to present the November 2026 Fantastic Finds Auction! Bid Online Now at: https://bid.alaskapremierauctions.com/ui/auctions/171307 An 82-piece Gorham sterling silver flatware service, a 2004 AIRE Leopard cataraft with a five-seat frame, and an extensive selection of Lie-Nielsen hand tools are among the highlights of this 500+ lot auction. From Alaska art and well-made furnishings to workshop equipment, sporting gear and unusual collectibles, the catalog rewards a closer look from beginning to end. Woodworkers will find a particularly substantial offering. Lie-Nielsen tools include a bronze No. 4 smoothing plane, No. 7 jointer plane, No. 073 shoulder plane, router and block planes, a Boggs spokeshave and a dovetail saw. Stanley Bed Rock and Bailey planes, Veritas tools, Oneway gouges and Easy Wood Tools carbide turning tools offer further choices for the bench and lathe. A Rockwell band saw, Delta jointer, Bosch router kits, a Bench Dog router table with Triton router, clamps, sharpening equipment and woodworking books extend the selection well beyond hand planes. For the home, highlights include a Skovby Model 19 Danish cherry veneer dining table with its butterfly-leaf mechanism and four chairs, an Origins by Stickley Dwyer king bed with matching nightstands, American Leather Cole accent chairs, and Natuzzi Editions Mario leather seating. Crystal lighting, a large Chinese wool rug, a carved camphor wood chest, cedar chests, stained glass and colorful art glass offer distinctive finishing touches. The Gorham Stardust service brings its crisp starburst pattern to the table, accompanied elsewhere in the sale by silver, crystal and decorative tableware. Alaska's landscapes, people and history appear throughout the art offering. A signed and dated 1952 original ink drawing by George Ahgupuk captures a winter homestead with sled dogs, a log cabin and an elevated cache. Fred Machetanz's "Son of the North," prints by Dale DeArmond and Diana Tillion, Rie Muñoz posters and works by Jon Van Zyle are joined by a substantial selection of Arnold Friberg prints. Collectors will also find Anaktuvuk Pass masks, beaded seal-fur booties, ivory and antler carvings, and Japanese glass fishing floats. Natural-history offerings include greater and lesser kudu, eland, gemsbok and other taxidermy mounts. The AIRE Leopard is offered with an NRS frame, Carlisle oars, cargo bags and fishing accessories. A Sage RPL+ fly rod, Abel and Orvis reels, a Dyna-King fly-tying vise, tackle and outdoor equipment provide more reasons for anglers to explore the catalog. Photography and radio enthusiasts will find a Nikon F4s camera with Nikkor lenses, an Icom IC-756PROIII transceiver with power supply, additional cameras, radios and related equipment. Sewing and knitting deserve a stop of their own, with Singer Featherweights, Brother punchcard and electronic knitting machines, ribber attachments, a G-Carriage, yarn, patterns and needlework references. Elsewhere, a Marx Super Circus play-set grouping, figural chocolate molds, model vehicles, musical clocks, guitars, a violin, vinyl records and sports memorabilia offer collecting interests well beyond the larger furnishings and equipment. Alaska history collectors can explore Fur Rendezvous silver and bronze medallions, a 1959 Alaska Statehood sterling silver medal, vintage postcards, maps, airline memorabilia and newspaper coverage of the 1964 earthquake. These smaller pieces share the catalog with practical household lots, tools, books and everyday necessities—plenty of opportunities to find something useful, unexpected or worth adding to a collection. Everything starts at only $5 and is being sold without reserve; browse, name your price, and bid today!
