The Walker Iron Collection
Preview: July 19, 2004 (Monday)
Jimmy and Carol Walker, internationally known collectors of antique pressing irons, have decided to sell their ENTIRE collection at public auction due to health reasons. This collection, truly multi-faceted, is awesome in both quality and scope. They have gathered an incredible array of irons and related items. Many collectors will know them as the editors of "IRON TALK, Journal of Antique Pressing Irons" and "Year 2000 Pressing Iron Price Guide". This auction will be an unparalleled collectors' bonanza, as it is without a doubt a Premiere Collection of the highest caliber. Many of these irons are super,super rare examples and a great number of them belong in the extremely scarce category. Some including the Patent Models are one of a kind. It will be sold "absolutely" with no reserves, no minimum bids and no buyer's premium. This will be a very exciting auction. More details will be forthcoming soon on the website.
