Annie Oakley's 20 gauge GH recently sold at Brian Lebels Old West Auction, lot 153 hammered at $195,500. A lot of lettuce for a GH 20 gauge. Julia's auctioned her BHE 12 for $28K.

Provenance still matters.

Now if I had $200k to spend on toys would I want Annie's 20 gauge or a 1970 four-speed Hemi Cuda?

I know I would be riding in style.

Neither , I'd get several nice Parkers and a 69 Chevy Z-28 with the 302DZ motor and four on the floor (fully restored of course).

On a side note I was sitting at the cross of main street and Madison road in Orange VA at about 8:30 AM Friday and the most lovely 28 or 29 Packard convertible with the rumble seat and golf bag door came riding by along with several other pre 1940 autos . I assume there was some sort of rally going on in the near vicinity this past weekend .
