This is the final, substantial (100 lots) dispersal of this large, significant collection. Gary's fine Bannerstones, Axes and Pipes anchor this sale. I know of no other assemblage of Bannerstones that surpasses the quality and presentation of the Cuckler Bannerstones. We are also very pleased to introduce the Evan Maurer Collection in this sale.
