ANDERSONVILLE — The Andersonville Chamber of Commerce's estate sale to raise funds to help return the neighborhood's beloved water tower to its rightful perch is now live.

The Swedish American Museum, 5211 N. Clark St., has raised more than $120,000 to replace the iconic tower, which was taken down after a brutal winter in 2014. But the effort still needs an "extra push," said Joelle Scillia, director of marketing for the chamber.

To bid on items though the Everything But The House site to benefit the cause click here.

Bidding ends around 8:30 p.m. Friday, according to the website.

About 30 items on the list won't be going to the water tower, so those looking to help out should look for the qualifier text reading: "Proceeds from this item directly benefit the Andersonville Water Tower," Scillia said.

For a collection of items deemed "high interest," all proceeds will benefit the water tower, said Scillia.

High interest items include:

Helen Levi Tableware

A Collection of Edgewater Artisanal Candles

"Man With A Cello" by artist Daryl Thetford

Uncle Sam's 3 Coin Register Toy Banks

Kilgorin Sword of Darkness

Stained Glass Lamp Shade

Ted Harris Gum Ball Machine Lamp

Gucci Silk Scarf

John Hardy Flower Brooch

Portable Crosley Record Player

Vintage Leather Italian Heels
