The Amazing And Unusual Up For Auction At Red Baron's

Filed under: Auctions

It's time once again for one of the greatest shows in the antiques world. Red Baron's Antiques in Georgia hosts huge auctions that people come from miles around to check out. The auction feature over 2500 items and have everything from furniture and memorabilia to vintage cars. It's a very unique collection every time at this shop that bills itself as the home of the amazing and unusual. The next auction, scheduled for June 25 and 26 brings together vintage firearms, a 1972 Dodge Polara California Highway Patrol Car, and something called a "Bonneville" boat/car sculpture which appears to be a wooden boat on wheels.

One of the better parts of the Red Baron inventory is the selection of architectural antiques. Another piece of the Yellowstone Club has ended up here too, a tasting room that was originally from a castle in Scotland, brought to the States in the 1940s and used in a mansion in Westchester County, New York before it was snapped up by the antiques-crazy Blixseths. There are also several bars including the "Harley Pub-Bar" shown above which has swinging doors, stained and jeweled glass windows, beveled mirrors, sink, wine rack and a storage cabinet adorned with Harley Davidson carvings and decorative bikes.

Talladega Nights Race Car Among Red Baron Auction Items

Some day I have to make a pilgrimage to a Red Baron auction in Atlanta, Georgia. Too bad I can't go this year for their auction on June 23-24 they have a wide variety of gawk-worthy items. The auction also features the usual Red Baron lots like massive fountains, stained glass windows and rare cars. One of the most interesting items is the Evinrude Heli-Bout, a one of a kind prototype, that has both an outboard motor and an electric propeller. Another hot lot will be a prop Nascar car used in the movie "Talladega Nights." The race car has a Ford 302 engine with SVO aluminum racing heads. And the car was driven by "Ricky Bobby" in the movie so this is a chance to plant your behind where Will Ferrell has sat.

I've mentioned the amazing auctions held by Red Baron Antiques before. The latest one, which will take place on November 11 and 12 in Atlanta offers the usual display of antiques such as a massive bronze sculpture of Apollo and his winged chariot and a 60-foot-long wrought iron and stone fence and stained glass windows. One of the most fascinating pieces is former President Dwight D. Eisenhower's library from Boulevard Lundy in Reims, France where he lived in 1945 at the end of WWII in Europe. President Eisenhower used this room as his office and worked on the treaty of unconditional surrender within these walls. The oak paneled library is carved in high relief and has panels which open to reveal shelves. There is also a rouge marble veined mantel with fluted columns that sits under a large beveled mirror. If you've got the money and the space you can bring history into your own home.
