Last 12 Hours of the Silent Auction!

Thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in my silent auction of Lincoln and assassination items. I wasn’t sure how many people would bid in this different style of auction but it seems to be working really well. I’m excited these items are going to find new homes with fellow history buffs who will appreciate them.

If there is something in the auction that catches your eye, we are down to the last 12 hours for you to bid on it! All lots will close at 9:00 pm central time tonight (Friday, August 26, 2022). Each time you submit a bid for a lot it provides a timestamp on the corresponding lot’s high bid sheet and any bids that come in after the end of the auction will not counted. For you current high bidders, be sure to come back and check on your lots before 9:00 in case someone tries to snipe them away from you in the last minutes.

Remember to check the current bid for each item before you submit your bid and to complete a Bidder Information Sheet one time so that I know how to contact you when the auction is over.

For convenience, here are the lots being offered again, with the current bid prices at the time of this posting at 9:00 am CDT. They may have increased since then.
