FAR 707 - Riveting Roanoke Collection

Attention all book lovers! This is the auction for you. This home houses a veritable library on a wide array of topics. Some of those topics include the Wild West, American Civil War, Presidents' biographies, organized crime, dinosaurs, birds, animals, jazz, and so much more. Books range from vintage to new. Many are first editions and many are signed by the authors. Don't miss the 1996 Harley Davidson Sportster 883, Treadlok standing safe, vintage Tom's Crackers vending machine, vintage hook & ladder metal pedal car, and some amazing pieces of local history including a jacket and sports flag of the Roanoke Buckskins. This was a 1970s minor league football team in Roanoke. There are several Walking Liberty Half Dollars, some that are key dates. There is also a vintage Rolex and a Tiffany & Co. 14K Gold watch. Sports fans should check out the autographed baseballs and photos of Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Sandy Koufax and others. The auction contains replicas of skulls from alligators and dinosaurs, signed artists' lithographs and a lithograph of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier signed by the boxing legends themselves. Dive in and find the piece you cannot live without!
