CINCINNATI – Cowan’s is introducing a new auction that combines consignments from three departments: American History, American Indian and Western Art, and Firearms and Early Militaria. Cowan’s plans to hold three of these auctions yearly, in the summer, winter and spring.

The first of the new series will be a two-day auction conducted on Aug. 27 and 28, with Internet live bidding provided by. LiveAuctioneers.com. A full preview will appear soon on Auction Central News.

The auction features lots that don’t quite reach Cowan’s minimum value requirements for its departmental auctions, for which a catalog is printed. However, all lots are fully described and photographed on Cowan’s website: www.cowans.com and LiveAuctioneers.com.

“We have found that collectors who bid in auctions for one of these departments often bid in one or both of the other two as well. The categories overlap in such as way that collectors find items of interest in all three. We wanted to give our customers one-stop shopping, so we created this auction,” said Wes Cowan, president and principal auctioneer.

The first session features more than 200 lots of firearms and related items from the Revolutionary War through World War II.

The second session of Day One will be the Indian Art portion of the sale.

Day Two is the American History portion, which includes early photographic images and political memorabilia.

Cowan’s is located at 6270 Este Ave. in Cincinnati. For details contact 513-871-1670 or e-mail: info@cowans.com. View the fully illustrated catalog and sign up to bid absentee or live via the Internet during the sale at www.LiveAuctioneers.com.
