Woody Auction sets August 22 multi-genre antique sale in Douglass, Kansas

Woody Auction will hold a multi-genre antique auction on Saturday, August 22, at its Douglass, Kansas, auction hall, with online and live bidding. The sale features more than 340 lots from 18 collections, led by glass, silver, lamps, pottery, furniture and several high-end headliners.
