Join us this September for an auction replete with the rare, the odd, and the unusual. From medical curiosities and tattoo flash, to sideshow imagery and carnival wheels, horror classics by Stephen King and movie posters for sci-fi thrillers, this is a seasonal sale of the macabre and the magnificent. A diverse grouping of vintage automatons from the Parisian workshops of Labert, Vichy, and Roullet & Decamps will also be part of this exceptional, can't-believe-it offering.
