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.

There a also a dozen fine relics in the sale from the well-known Jim Johnston collection. Many were acquired from such old time collectors as Dr. Stanley Copeland and Gilbert Dilley. This sale offers a variety of fine artifacts. Don't miss this opportunity to add a Cuckler relic to your collection.
