LINDEN, N.J. – What was Time & Again Auction Galleries doing on summer vacation? Working overtime.

What else did they do on summer vacation? They accumulated over 1,200 lots of exceptionally varied estate properties. Next they divided the properties into two outstanding sales. Session I, on Sept. 14, will feature over 500 lots of Asian works of art. Session II, on Sept. 16, will offer over 700 outstanding estate lots.
