The TSRF Facebook Auction!

Yes, it is that time again! This auction is dedicated to Van and Margie Jones of Cincinnati, Ohio. For many years Van and Margie independently ran “STARS”, Scottish Terrier Area Rescue Service in the Cincinnati, Ohio region. The healthy and family-friendly Scotties were lovingly placed in carefully vetted forever homes; the unadoptable elderly and those with physical or social adjustment issues became part of the Jones family.

Their love of Scotties extended to avidly collecting all things Scottie, from tchotchkes to the finest bronzes and porcelain figurines…..collected for 40+ years! They were founding members of the original “Wee Scots” Scottie dog memorabilia collectors’ group and attended every annual convention held plus those held by successor organizers over the 38-year history of the national gatherings. They worked tirelessly to ensure not just the fun at the conventions but the educational aspects by willingly sharing their knowledge of Scottie collectibles, the origin, artists, manufacturers, and production methods.

Van passed away in 2021 and now Margie knows it is time to put their wonderful collection back out into the Scottie collecting world. She has graciously donated a significant part of the collection to various rescue groups around the country. TSRF was a big recipient and we are pleased to offer some wonderful Scottie stuff, some of which is very unique and rarely seen!

We hope you find something to add to your collection!
