Press Release Body: (Crystal River, FL) The estate of Dr. Inman has chosen a pair of

Professional Appraisers & Liquidators and Kale Albritton of Lakeland, FL, to
facilitate the sale of Dr. Inman's fabulous collection of art glass, silver, fine
art, music boxes and antiques. Albritton, who knew Dr. Inman for over thirty years,
said "Dr. Inman was very much an astute collector. He was a student of the subject -
a collector with a method."

Added to the 700 items from the Inman estate will be 300 more quality lots from
various estates with names like Doulton, Limoges, R.S. Prussia, Fenton, Fulper and
Northwood plus antique German dolls, works by listed artists, gold and silver coins
and estate jewelry as well as paintings by 19th and 20th century listed artists.

Studios and include a Cypriote Spot vase, Favrile vases including a special order
green cased vase with pulled leaf and vine decoration, a rare blue Jack in the
