A coat worn by a soldier in the 13th Regiment recently sold for only $354 which includes the buyers premium!
If
you were in attendance at the January 16th Civil War and Military
Memorabilia auction you know there were surprises on both ends of the
spectrum, the above mentioned example was certainly an example on the
low end. Even an novice investor could likely double their money on
that coat by selling it on eBay.
The thing is, you didn't even have to travel to Pittsfield MA to bid live on this item. You could have bid live online via iCollector.
This form of auction activity is keeping dealers and collectors in the
loop when they would otherwise be unable to attend some fantastic
auctions throughout the US.
On the other hand, many of the 700 lots did very well. See the slide show price report below for prices realized.
Fontain's
Auction Gallery has carved itself a niche as being THE place for Civil
War American in New England. Besides the immediate accumulation of
items for the next Civil War memorabilia auction, what are they up to
next? Find out at Fontaine's Auction Gallery.
Americana
has been a staple in the collecting industry forever. If you have a
passion for Civil War memorabilia and it spills over to Cowboy and
other Western Americana, you should take a look at the High Noon Western Americana Auction. Also available for live online bidding.
