Greenstein & Co., Inc. will be accepting consignments for our fall auction starting in May. Please contact our office for details. If you wish to sell an object or an entire collection without waiting for auction, we can sometimes arrange private sales between consignors and buyers.

Greenstein & Co, Inc. guarantees all lots in this sale to be authentic as described. We pride ourselves on selecting only high quality antique Jewish artifacts. Sadly, in today's Judaica market, most objects are of questionable manufacture. An unwary eye often does not detect fake Judaica. This company guarantees that all items in this catalog are authentic as described, allowing for a 30-year range of dating error. Jonathan Greenstein is available for appraisals for estate and insurance purposes. In addition, he is available for speaking engagements and slide show presentations at synagogues, museums, schools and other cultural institutions.
