I know the starting bid is well over $45,000 and there's three people
specifically going to be here to bid on it... I also heard Willie G Davidson
is one of them.... post that on CBid if you would... I'm going to the Auction for the Cigar Indian he had there and also to meet
up with Willie G if he shows up... I'll offer him a Cigar and Handshake
Ironic Donald Davidson was the Old Mans name who passed on.. I once offered
him $250.00 bucks for the Cigar Indian and he laughed at me... he had allot
of Memorabilia... WW1 WW2 stuff Old Coal Miners Lamps ETC..
it will be interesting for sure!!!

Take Care

Yup,that's an old one on the left all right. X

I remember reading a story in a motorcycle mag years ago about some guy that went to an auction and bid on three crates of "machine parts." He dragged them home, opened them up, and found three WWII military Harleys packed in grease. He kept one, sold one, and donated one to a museum.

I remember that article, it was back in '88 or '89.

The Harley Brought $80,000 all the cars together figured up for a total of $334,000

the Cigar Indian well he had two I only seen the wooden one... a ceramic one went for $550.00 don't know what the old wooden one got.

Old License Plates were selling for $100.00 apiece..

one old locamotive toy train engine sold for a little over $1000.00 they broke the sets up and was selling Individual cars from then on... Tomorrow will be another day... rumor also has it the Beer Stiens the guy had collected over the years will go for $1000.00 apiece and the beer signs also same prices...
Un Fickin Believable!!!!! and the man took his own life because he couldn't afford his Medical Bill's...

there are tos of Display cases that would house many Cigars.. Antique Display cases at that that will probably go for penny's....I will see....

also a correction on his name Donald Davis.. not Davidson like I had thought before...
there are Cigar Boxes cardboard ones dating back to 1952-54... Bottle and Bottles of Whisky, Rum,Wine,Marlots and Chablies (sp) one of the Whiskys dated 1988 was a whole case...
wish I had a Digital Camera... tomorrow's going to be another Nutty Day... I did not see Willie G...
