Might not hurt to have a lawyer send a letter to the auctioneer asking nicely for the consignor information so maybe you can track back past movements. Since the auctioneer basically fenced stolen goods, worded correctly a letter might get some help. Also, if your local or state LE teams have a Art/Antiques theft squad they may help... you miss 100% of the chances you do not take...
