Lincoln auction
Some very familiar items and it looks like it has something for everyone's budget.

RE: Lincoln auction
Looks like the Taper collection will soon be scattered to the wind. I would love the Paul Manship statue, given that Ida Tarbell was a close personal friend of Manship and spoke at the dedication ceremony. Darn shame I spent that $12,000 though.

Lincoln's handwriting appears to have changed greatly over time. To see properly, scroll down to just after reward poster and click on the photo of earliest Abraham Lincoln handwriting example.

There was not anything sold within my budget, but it was nice to see the auction catalog.
