SINGERS WARDROBE TO BE AUCTIONED

The Time Prince Was Pelted With Food at a Rolling Stones Concert

BOSTON (AP) — Fans of Prince, who was known nearly as
much for his extravagant wardrobe as for his chart-topping
hits, will have a chance to bid on some of the late musician’s
sartorial splendor in an online auction this week.

The collection, including more than 200 lots up for sale, was
assembled by a French collector who initially hoped to open
a museum celebrating the musician but later scrapped the
plan, according to RR Auction of Boston, which is overseeing
the sale.

The collector had reached out to individuals who worked closely
with Prince to gather the items, believing that the trendsetting
artist, who died in 2016, was not only a musical virtuoso but also
a fashion icon, according to the auction house.

EVERYTHING BOND WILL SELL AT AUCTION

James Bond memorabilia
Some of the collection of James Bond memorabilia that
be on sale at Ewbank’s auction house in Surrey, England.        
 

(FOX News) – A retired California schoolteacher is ready to cash
in his collection of all things James Bond-related.
 

Steve Oxenrider has a collection of over 30,000 items related to
the Bond phenomenon, with some items dating back to the
early 1960s when the series was first released.
 

The San Francisco resident has shipped half his items so far
to Ewbank’s Auction House
in Woking, Surrey, England,
ahead of the auction.


Due to the large number of collectibles, Ewbank’s will auction
off Oxenrider’s collection in two parts — with the first half
of the miscellany going live in November.


Some of the items included in the auction include original posters
for "Dr. No," valued at over $15,000, and a signed "Thunderball"
gala charity premiere brochure from 1965, which is expected to
sell for over $1,000.

H. Leslie Hoffman (1906 – June 24, 1971) was an American businessman. He was the founder and CEO of Hoffman
Radio from 1941 to 1971, which changed its name to
Hoffman
Radio and Television in 1948.

During the early years of television there was considerable
concerns that long term viewing television could damage
one’s eyesight due to
eye strain. Hoffman took advantage
of this scare by advertising that the yellow-green tinted s
creen reduced eye strain. He marketed his televisions as
"Easy Vision."
