The most valuable item was a horse and carriage, bearing the name "Marshall Field Co." in the signature green paint. There was also a Marshall Field’s replica clock up for auction."These were set up in the window, beautiful and attracted huge crowds, I mean, what a great tradition it is for Chicago to peruse the windows outside Marshall Field’s.
