I didn't count the Parkers but I'd say the WLM estate collection overloaded the auction with Foxes. If I counted correctly there were 31 Fox guns ..... and there's only so many Fox collectors out here with only so much money to spend for higher end Foxes. Last I heard the WLM collection was anticipated for the Spring 2017 auction, kind of a surprise to see it in this auction, and I wonder if that was the best move for Julia and for the consignors of other Fox guns in the auction?
For those who watched the Julia auction on Proxibid, a gun showed "sold to on-site buyer" if it didn't make its reserve. Huh? Maybe Josh can clarify why that would be?
