The auction will last two days starting from Saturday the 18th at 10:00 am (New York time) and ending on Sunday the 19th.
The 434th public auction features some very fabulous lots with an unusually huge offering of very rare miscellaneous collectibles like marbles, baseball cards, paintings and lithographs, phonograph paraphernalia, pens, a slot machine, a Coca-Cola machine, rare postcards, and even PRC propaganda.
