Weekly Thursday Evening Kansas City Estate and Consignment Auction

This week’s auction is one of those rooms where you’re going to want to slow down, look around and dig a little. There’s a LOT here.

Let’s start with one of the more interesting groups: a collection of “signed” vinyl records. Some have COAs, although not from the two major authentication companies, and some have no documentation at all. Are some authentic? Very likely. Are some not? Very likely. We’re not making the call for you. Check them out, do your research, look closely and follow your gut. They’re selling as is, where is, folks. For the right collector, the hunt is half the fun.

Coin collectors will want to pay attention, too. There are coins and currency throughout the auction, including a 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent. If you know Lincoln cents, you already know why those four little characters get attention. Only 484,000 were minted, making it one of the classic key dates of the Lincoln cent series.

There’s plenty more for the jewelry crowd, including gold jewelry, sterling silver jewelry and costume jewelry, along with watches and clocks.

Then we get into the stuff giving this auction some real personality: antique black powder rifles and other firearms, ammunition, militaria, bayonets, fighting knives and a pocket knife collection. There’s also a great 12-point mule deer mount, Southwestern rugs and tapestries, belt buckles, caps and hats, and hand embroidery.

Music and entertainment collectors have plenty to hunt through beyond the signed records. We’ve got musical instruments, movie posters, vintage magazines, a Playboy collection, sports jerseys and other sports-related pieces, plus stamps, cameras and more.

Advertising collectors should have some fun here, too, with brewery and distillery-related pieces, advertising and coin-op, along with a strong selection of vintage toys and games.

And then there’s the fishing gear — a lot of it. Lures, rods, reels and more. Add in cast iron, tools and all kinds of miscellaneous pieces we haven’t even begun to mention.

Oh, and telephone parts.

An unusually large amount of telephone parts.

We don’t know why either, but if you’ve been waiting your entire life for an auction with more telephone parts than anyone reasonably expects to encounter in one place, apparently this is your week.

This is a big, varied auction with the kind of mix we love — serious collector pieces sitting right alongside oddball finds, useful stuff, nostalgia and things you didn’t know you needed until you saw them.

Come spend some time looking. There’s a lot to find.
