Fair analogy, Doc. I agree.

I know of someone that owned Humphrey Bogart's L.C. Smith. While showing it at a show, the teen age daughter asked who was Humphrey Bogart, shortly thereafter he sold it.
The next generation wouldn't know and most likely won't care.
Nash who!

My Father in Law has a Gone with the Wind movie poster that's worth around $16,000. Same story - sell it while you can!

At least Gone With The Wind was mainstream. I'm 53 and I really wasn't knowledgable about Buckingham until the membership here started talking about this gun a few yrs back. Still, the guy that ends up with it will be cheesin'. A big part of collecting is just for self satisfaction.

Michael,
Col. Whelens Rifle hammered for $8500. I don't know if it "sold".

Is Nash the one who had the liver transplant or was that Burt Becker? Oh, no, that was Dave Crosby, sorry. Granddad, are 32" barrels still legal for waterfowl?

Does anyone have the results for the set of lots sold yesterday please? I am quite interested in seeing what some of the larger bore waterfowl guns went for, esp the 8 bore Lang and Parker.

Lang hammered for 9K. I didn't write down the Parker, but I think it went for 11. Holland brought 19.5 plus the juice.

GregSY really hit close to home with the Fleetwood Mac reference, but picked the wrong member. The early guitarist in that band was Peter Green. He played a 1959 Sunburst Les Paul. It was later owned and played and made even more famous by Gary Moore (may still be, but I think I read that he sold it). This is one of the most famous of the "Burst" guitars, and as legendary amongst guitar collectors as Bo-Whoop is among shotgun folk. Now considering that ANY old '59 "burst" Les Paul in original condition is bringing 300-500K these days, I can only imagine what the Peter Green burst would sell for. Compared to Bo-Whoop's hammer price, now we're talking REAL money. It's just silly!
