Abell's Auctioneers, Los Angeles, photographed in the 1960s — Auction Every Thursday Nite
Heritage

Los Angeles
Since 1916.

A. N. Abell opened its doors the year the city was still building itself, and the same family has run it ever since. Four generations of auctioneers, one trade, one city.

The specialty has never really changed: the single-owner estate. When a house in Pasadena or Hancock Park or Malibu is closed up, someone has to decide what the contents are worth and find the people who want them.
