Fran's House of Ceramics -- All items and property pertaining to the business, NOT INCLUDING Real Estate Property is for sale by the Estate of Francis Reynolds, all as one lot for $75,000.
If you showed interest in the business over the last year, understand that legal matters and the health and well being of Fran's sister Martha has taken priority and the sale of the business has been on the back burner. Your information is buried in a years worth of messages; If you are still interested, contact us again.
What's included:
Molds -- Uncounted thousands of molds, stored in several locations. Some molds are damaged or broken from time, but there are up to 10,000 good molds remaining. Some of those we've looked at date back to the late 50's and early 60's.
Kilns -- 3 kilns; 1 kiln is setup to run on a Norton Auto Fire board. Status of the other 2 kilns is unknown, but a brand new Norton Auto Fire 4000 board was purchased with intention of upgrading one of the other two and is included.
Pouring Table -- plus other tools and supplies for pouring molds, and several gallons of slip.
Inventory -- Several aisles of greenware, bisque and finished pieces. -- Wide selection of paints, stains, glazes, brushes, tools, lighting kits, Christmas tree bulbs and stars, decals, etc...
Way too much to inventory, picture or list individually. We only ask to keep items of a personal nature to Fran, and finished pieces signed by Fran or other family members over the years. Everything else is available to the buyer for the firm but attractive price of $75,000.
Indiana weather being as unpredictable as it is, we ask that upon payment, the buyer clean out the storage unit in the first picture so that we can close it. Afterwards, we can negotiate a generous timeframe in which to remove the rest of the property.
