IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DESCRIPTIONS!

Lot # 0 (Sale Order: 1 of 556)      

The majority of this auction comes from the collections of Marvin Alley of Pratt, KS, and John Smith, Jr. of Elkhart, KS.
The descriptions of the items are primarily taken from the paperwork of the sellers. Both sellers kept extensive notes on their collections. Any provenance of an item is a STATEMENT OF OPINION of the sellers, unless backed up by COA's in pictures. It is your (the bidder) responsibility to determine the authenticity of items. We (Brown Auction) have done our diligence to share all pertinent information made available to us on any items, though we are not experts in the field of artifacts. Please study descriptions and photos of all items to determine your own opinion. If you desire any more photos of any items, please email us @ brownauction@att.net and we will be happy to oblige.
Finally, I wish to share a quote with you from Mr. Alley's catalog index. "We are all citizens of history. I consider myself the temporary custodian of the historical artifacts in my collection and count it a privilege and a pleasure to have been given the care of them for a few years of my life"
