We at Farmer Auctions are honored to present the living estate of Howard Feiertag. Born in Brooklyn New York, the youngest of 10 children, he served in World War II from 1945 to 1948. Upon his return, he entered Michigan State University under the GI bill to study police administration. He worked briefly as a prison counselor in a maximum security prison before being called to serve in a P.O.W. camp as Commanding Officer in the Military Police for two years in Korea. When he returned home he began a position in insurance investigations. 1962 he was a junior member of the chamber of commerce and was recruited to work as manager of the then new Charlotte N.C. convention bureau.  He then began to build a local Blacksburg legacy at Virginia Tech, setting the standards for corporate hospitality, tourism, marketing and meetings.  His work in the hospitality field set standards, started further education programs and changed perspectives on hosting corporate meetings and conventions.  At 95 years young he still assists the instructors and mentors students in the Howard Feiertag Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Virginia Tech. His home is a reflection of who he is, where he came from, where he has been and the legacy he created.

Every estate is its own journey. This one was all about teaching, learning and discovery. We were constantly surprised by the extraordinary items we continued to find and are thrilled to be able to present them to you. 

Breathtaking art, many signed and original pieces by noteworthy artists; high quality furnishings, antique, mid century & modern (TWO Paragon wardrobes, multiple bedroom suites, incredibly comfortable recliners, rockers, and sofas); beautiful treasures and religious artifacts from all over the world; excellent glass, crystal, & ceramics (Lenox, Spode, Royal Doulton, Hummel, Homer Laughlin & more); outstanding kitchenwares; extensive collection of comics; a closet full of Hot Wheels & Matchbox cars & tracks; gorgeous jewelry; the makings for a metaphysical room with crystals (raw & polished), dreamcatchers, books on spirituality, divinity, counseling, sign language and just about everything else you would expect from a woman with multiple doctorates and a Master’s Degree in Education of the Deaf. There are also great electronics and three large flat screen TVs; multiple clocks; awesome records; two guitars; snapping turtle shell; medical equipment; Christmas decorations; and a remarkably well appointed shop of the highest grade tools, no doubt impressed upon Rodger by his career in the United States Army Corps of Engineers. We’ve never seen this quantity of Snap-On and MAC Tools in a single garage. Many specialized auto tools along with other amazing finds. A fully loaded dark blue 2008 Chrysler Town & Country and a shiny red 2008 Chrysler Sebring Hardtop Convertible. There is so much more… Enjoy discovering the treasures
