Bill Agee Estate Auction

[jays emporium]

An estate auction for the late Bill Agee, longtime collector and author of two books on Cure bottles, was held in Waco Texas Oct 27. I attended as well as Brad (Texasdigger from the forum). Other than the two of us there was only one other serious bottle collector, Joe who collects Texas sodas. There were about 75 bottle lots ranging from 1-10 bottles, and about 300 advertising lots. I'll attach some photos one at a time of the auction house.

This is the last picture. With not many bottle buyers, I was able to purchase 35 of the bottle lots and 5 other lots. I will make some other posts under SODAS showing some of the bottles I got. There were a lot of large embossed mineral water bottles I wasn't planning to bid on but ended up buying because the price was right. Thanks for looking.
