March Premier Auction

Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals is pleased to present the March 2023 Premier Auction! This LIVE-ONLINE simulcast sale differs from our typical online auctions. Our live online sales offer pre-bidding up until the time the auction is scheduled to begin closing like usual. At this time, however, instead of bidding with a countdown timer as three lots close per minute, we will go LIVE via a video and audio broadcast and begin clerking the sale in real-time, taking competing bids from both our auction platform and third-party national auction platform partners from other bidders around the world. If you are unable to bid in real-time during the online broadcasted sale, PLEASE make sure to leave your max bids ahead of time to not avoid missing out on this fantastic array of items. This fantastic auction, of just over 250 lots is one you do not want to miss! Highlights include an extremely broad offering of Alaskan Ethnographic material with a myriad of cribbage boards, walrus tusk carvings, scrimshaw, baleen and grass baskets, utilitarian items, and artifacts, a notable offering of fine original Alaskan art with major names to include Jules Dahlager, Rie Munoz, Norman Lowell, Claire Fejes, David Mollett, and Scott McDaniel, fine jewelry including an absolutely massive four and a half troy ounce gold nugget and gold coin watch, ancient Megalodon teeth and other fossils, exceptional fur coats, mid-century modern furnishings, mid-century slot machines, Oriental antiques, taxidermy, sculptures, a rare 1959 Fender Jazzmaster electric guitar, and much more! AUCTION CLOSING: This auction opened for bidding on Sunday, February 26th and will GO LIVE for online bidding in real-time on Sunday, February 5th at 10:30am AKDT (2:30pm EST).
