...Frankford Arsenal, an 87.7-acre complex of 167 buildings, sheds and loading docks in Philadelphia, has all kinds of possibilities. The sale will offer property in every state but Alaska. Real estate dealers with a bankroll and real estate dreamers without one are sure to be enthusiastic over the choicer parcels. Some enticing examples...

Even choicer to the connoisseur's eye are Cleveland's two ivories and, rarest of all, an engraving by Antonio Pollaiuolo (see color opposite...
