A Celebration of Life: Donald C. Tribit, Jr.
April 26, 2017
With sadness, we must report the passing of Don Tribit, longtime friend, customer, consultant, and occupant of the far left hand seat in the second row at almost every sale we’ve had here in Chadds Ford since 2002. Don assisted us and our clients with his considerable expertise in sorting, identifying, appraising, cataloging and selling coins, stamps, early glass, and more. He will be missed on many levels.
Don was born in Wilmington, DE on August 4, 1949, and was the son of the late Donald C. Tribit, Sr. and Anne W. Tribit. He proudly served his country as a member of the U.S. Air Force.
An antiques expert, Don utilized over 48 years of combined research and experience in antiques appraising and selling at various antiques malls. He held a number of professional appraisal certificates, bought, sold and restored countless antiques and was particularly interested in antique bottle digging.
