Clapton's Gibson Leads Classic Guitars
Josh Levine, J. Levine owner and auctioneer, said the auction house is already receiving international interest in Eric Clapton’s unsigned Gibson guitar.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Eric Clapton’s classic guitars,” Levine said. “The Gibson 1964 ES 345 that we will auction comes with strong provenance. It was purchased at auction in 1999 and displayed at the Musical Instrument Museum for many years.”
Several Civil War tokens, circa 1861-1865, are generating bidder interest ahead of the sale, according to Levine. Other highlights of the auction include two New York Yankees Champions rings - a 1961 Yankees World Series Champions ring and a 1957 Yankees American League Champions ring that both belonged to Yankee Great, Bill “Moose” Skowron.
Fine and Decorative Art
An Ernst Menner Stuttgart sterling silver tea set, political memorabilia, including a 1972 Richard Nixon autograph, a rare Vu Cao Dam oil painting, a large Native American Haida totem pole and hundreds of other collectibles.
