Jimmy From Giovanni's Community Fund Auction
Jimmy From Giovanni's Community Fund Auction, Saturday, November 29, 2014, will be held at the Litchfeld Inn in Litchfield. Jimmy refers to the late owner of Don Giovanni?s, a popular local restaurant. He died in his sleep recently at age 57. In Jimmy's memory, Mr. Chapulis and others who knew and liked him are trying to raise money to buy an electric gurney (or power stretcher) for the Morris Volunteer Firemen?s and Ambulance Corps. So far, about $5,000 has been raised against a goal of $16,000. Additional monies raised for the Jimmy from Giovanni's Community Fund will go directly into helping the community. A 1949 Buick Special ($17,500) and the 1931 Ford Model A ($14,000). A dark blue 1979 Porsche 928 hard-top 5-speed sports car with just 60,000 miles on the odometer will also be in the sale. The two-owner car will carry an opening bid of $5,000. Also featured will be 18 guitars, some of them signed by rock 'n' roll legends such as Charlie Daniels, James Taylor, Pete Townsend, Aretha Franklin, Fats Domino, Jay and the Americans, Carly Simon, Les Paul, Twisted Sister, Kris Kristofferson, Jeff Cook, Jerry Cantrell, Johnny Winter, Steven Tyler, Johnny Mathis, Greg Allman, Michael Stipe of REM and others. Just recently added is a hoard of U.S. silver 1-ounce American eagle coins, never opened and still in their U.S. Treasury rolls. There are 500 coins total - 20 rolls of 25 coins per roll - that will be sold as individual lots (and these would make ideal holiday presents). Also offered will be a group of 50 1-ounce fine silver bars that will be sold as five lots (10 silver bars per lot). Many fine furnishings, Victoriana, antiques, collectables, Christmas items, and dining room sets, just in time for Holiday celebrations, will also be offered. New items and a continuation of our Historic Estates Auction will be offered, so if you missed out the first time, this will be your last chance to take home some of these great items!
