I thought I might attend the auction for the first time. Any words of advice from anyone that has been before?

Any guesses on what this will go for? Is the Mills more desirable than the Caille (one of which sold for $250K, I think).

Since one has not sold at auction in a long time (I think over 10 years), who knows what it will bring. I would guess around $165K but not be surprised if it passed $200K. You never know at these auctions.

I think the Caille is more desirable than the Mills. The Caille is much more ornate than the Mills is.

The last Caille that sold at auction brought around $250K and that was about two years ago. Three years ago, one brought $225K at auction so they seem to be appreciating at about 10% a year. I would not be surprised if one showed up at auction that it would bring close to $300K.

My only advice to you is that if you are serious bring lots of money and, like all auctions, really inspect the items before you bid on them.
