Roy Rogers Museum auction this week

[Pilgrim]

I just learned that the Roy Rogers museum (in Branson MO,, having moved from CA about 8 years ago) has closed and most of the items in it are being auctioned this coming week on the 14th and 15th.

What a sad event!!!!

There's one item (aside from acoustic guitars) that I thought someone here might be interested in:

It's listed as: GIBSON INCORPORATED; A GUITAR AMPLIFIER, GA-SUPER 400, KALAMAZOO, MI., CIRCA 1960-1964, Bearing the logo Gibson 400.

This may belong in guitars, but the appeal for us folks with grey hair is suffficient that I thought I'd post it here.

Check the auction at Christie's website....

I saw the Yahoo news story on this. It brought back a lot of memories. Always liked Roy and Dale. If I had the money to bid on anything, it would be Nellybelle, Pat Brady's Jeep.

Yes! Trigger, Bullet and Buttermilk.

Yes! Trigger, Bullet and Buttermilk.

True!  The auction descriptions include a history of each animal.  Trigger lived to one day less than 31, and Buttermilk made it to 31. I just finished surfing all 12 pages of listings and even noted a few items to follow.  Christie's estimate for the sale of Trigger was $100,000 - $200,000.

This (culturally) just beggars belief...

"Anything stuffed and mounted?"

Aren't the instructions garbled and backwards here? Shouldn't it be mounted first and then stuffed?

I never understood Status Quo either:

 So......you do have some understanding of "the love that dare not speak it's name" 

This (culturally) just buggars belief...

Had to fix this for ya Kenny.

Just don't go messing with my Dusselforf...

Now that reminds me of the old joke... I'll cut it to the punch...

4 prisoners sitting round a table, boasting of their crimes... armed robbery, GBH, ABH, murder, rape... the list went on...
They all looked at the one guy on the end of the table who had just kept on quietly eating his lunch...
"So, what are you in for...?"
"Buggery..."
Everyone spluttered and rolled off all sorts of comments on their disgust, ending with "You sicko, just how low can someone go..."
To which he chirped up with... "Ooh, about a daschund..."

[Bargeon]

Any autographed vintage hamburger wrappers?

[gweimer]

I don't know about anywhere else in the country, but there's still a Roy Rogers hamburger stand running just outside Cincinnati.

Right next door to the Gabby Hayes Dental Clinic? 

The restaurant chain is still in business, mostly east of Ohio.

[Pilgrim]

Well, shoot.  I was kind of hoping to pick up some little thing, but all of the items sold well above the predictions.  At least the family made some money on the auction.
