There’s Another, Hidden Rockefeller Auction With Real Bargains

Nadeau’s auction house in Connecticut is very quietly hosting its own Rockefeller estate sale.

Much of the success of Christie’s $833 million estate sale of David and Peggy Rockefeller’s belongings can be attributed to the Rockefeller name. It’s hard to imagine a gold money clip selling for $75,000 without it.

But the real test of the Rockefeller mystique might not have been at Christie’s. It might instead come in two weeks at a small auction house called Nadeau’s Auction Gallery in Windsor, Conn.
