Everything from 8mm projectors to films, movie posters and more from the Des Moines Theater will be auctioned off by Vintage Events near University Village on Feb. 4 and 5.
When Alki Homestead owner Tom Lin and partner Isaiah Dummer purchased the Des Moines Theater in December they knew it had been used as a storage place for the previous owners many acquisitions. But the full scope of what Richard Pappas had amassed was not clear until it had to be gone through for disposition. Some was retrieved by the Pappas estate but a huge amount was still there.
On Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 4-5, Vintage Events near the University Village will stage an auction of stockpile of stuff that for some will likely be treasured for years to come.
