Rare Civil War collection surfaces

Published September 17th, 2007


“This auction coming up (Sept. 29, Clinton National Guard Armory) may be one of the biggest in terms of attendees that I have ever had,” said auctioneer Ted Wilk of Wilk Auction Service. “I know it will rank in the top 10 percent of attendance at auctions I’ve conducted.”

Doors will open at 8 a.m. Sept. 29 at the armory with the sale getting under way at 10 a.m.

Wilk said normally there would be 125 to 150 persons at an auction but this one could draw in the neighborhood of 225 to 250.
