Hello again friends of Manion's International Auction
House.
The summer season is heating up in more ways than one at Manion's.
Of course, it's getting steamy here in the heartland, with humidity on the rise,
but we're also on a hot streak with plenty of consignment coming in the door.
Not only are FedEX, UPS, and the USPS delivering packages on a daily basis, but
we've just returned from a couple of road trips with cargo in tow . .
.
Home on the range
Guy is
back from a run collecting consignment during seven different stops across the
Eastern United States. Mike and Brad just returned from the maiden voyage of the
Midwest Military Expo, in Rockford, IL, and said it was a
fantastic new military collector show - small, but with plenty of room to grow.
Be sure to check the Manion's site in the next couple of weeks as the new items
will soon be posted: US, WWII German, field gear, firearms, edged weapons,
medals, badges, headgear, and more.
If you have a collection you'd like
to consign -LET US KNOW ASAP - we'll arrange a
pickup.
Manion's on History
Detectives
Mark your calendars - Monday, June 22
our own Andrew Turner will be featured on an episode of the popular PBS program
"History Detectives". The crew investigated a photo and
document grouping about a little known WWII top secret training program to
utilize savage dogs, rather than Marines, in the invasion of the Japanese
islands. Check your local listings for show times . . . and check the
site often as the actual grouping will soon be up for
bid!
Auctions Closing Soon
In addition to our regular auctions, closing 365 days a
year, we have some special auctions closing soon.
June
22 marks the end of our very unique "Father and Son" special auction.
Basically, it's a collection of items from two generations of service in WWI and
WWII - a very unique grouping of interesting material. To view all items
available, visit www.manions.com, log in, and click the banner in
the center of the page.
Tomorrow, June 17, our
Multi-Estate Special Auction comes to a close; what began as a
consignment of militaria and firearms, grew into Manion's acquiring the entire
estates. This is a new endeavor, and we intend to have a new offering up every
two weeks (we have TONS of stuff). Won items are to be picked up at our Kansas
City location, but shipping can be arranged at an additional cost. Just another
way Manion's is more than militaria. For more information, call Melinda:
866.626.4661 - ext. 1006 or mawalters@manions.com.
