Auction Details
Gangsters, gun molls, rats, and mobsters have long captured the American imagination—transformed into symbols of individualism and stars of the silver screen, these figures have become icons in their own right. In Session One of our Remarkable Rarities sale, we are proud to present a wealth of memorabilia associated with these criminal crooks and gangland gods: from folk heroes like Bonnie Parker, Clyde Barrow, and John Dillinger to mob bosses like Al Capone, Mickey Cohen, and Sam Giancana, the top names in gangsterism are here represented.
Diversity reigns in Remarkable Rarities, Session Two: King George III writes to his son in 1779, then Prince plays a custom VOX guitar in 2013. Dwight D. Eisenhower wins World War II, then Steve McQueen immortalizes it in The Great Escape. Abraham Lincoln and Malcolm X fight for justice a century apart. Thoreau ponders the natural world while Tolkien creates a new one. The Beatles and Pink Floyd release landmark albums as America makes its moonshot. Alfred Nobel transforms his legacy from death to dignity. These intersections of culture and collecting are revealed in this concise session of just over fifty lots.
