Since 1946, the Auction facility currently known as the United Country - Absolute Auction Center 45 South Ave., Pleasant Valley, NY 12569, has amassed a large collection of Auction related historical artifacts and ephemera. The collection is being photographed and cataloged with the intent to share this data and images with the National Auctioneers Association Foundation (NAF) to be part of their “Virtual Museum” project. All the items being sold in this Auction, unless otherwise noted, are guaranteed to be 100% original. Each lot will be tagged in gold with a label that will provide provenance. The label reads:
"Celebrate Auction History
A Unique Historical Item
From UCAAR Collection
AARauction.com"
In addition, the purchaser of each lot will be recorded on a spreadsheet accompanying the description of the lot. Our intention is to supply the purchaser’s contact info with any items that are accepted into the Virtual Museum’s database. Therefore, purchasers will be credited with ownership.
This second offering will be a mix of small to medium easy to ship paper items: The ephemera includes catalogs and small broadsides related to all aspects of Auctioneering from automobiles to slaves. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the NAF to help with the project.
Please embrace the collecting of these items to support the Virtual Museum project and take ownership in our unique Auction history. Simply reading the entire catalog will provide some unusual historical facts. There are some very unusual and some extremely rare items in this offering. Thanks in advance for your bids – Rob & Sue Doyle, United Country - Absolute Auctions & Realty.
Note: This website has a “dynamic ending” feature; if someone “sniper bids” on a lot at the scheduled end of the auction (7:30PM EST on Monday, July 6th), the system will extend the clock two minutes to give everyone time to bid again. In the final minutes of the auction you must continue to refresh your screen to see changes in the bidding. Get in on the fun! Auctions are the best way to buy good quality items.
