Julia Auction Today - Part 1
I just got back to Boston from the Julia auction today where there were Parkers and other fine doubles sold. Well there is good news - and bad news. First a US President - Teddy Roosevelt - trumped the Czar of Russia. The bad news is that Mr Ansley Fox of the Fox shotgun company gave President Roosevelt a Fox shotgun to take on his famous 1909-1910 African safari - Mr. Parker did not.
The Roosevelt Fox gun today sold for $750,000 plus a buyers fee of either 15% or 17%. As virtually everyone know the Czar Parker sold for $250,000.
The other good news is that many Parker lovers were able to add to their collections with some very different Parkers for very low prices. About 24 of the Parkers sold for BELOW their projected selling range.
When I get the chance to get back to the computer I will post some of the prices.
