📸 Leica Cameras, Sterling Silver, Comics, Advertising & More!

This week's auction offers a little bit of everything, but the headline attraction is an exceptional group of Leica and "Leica-adjacent" cameras and accessories. Leica has long been regarded as one of the premier names in photography, and several pieces in this collection are expected to attract serious interest from collectors and enthusiasts alike. More importantly, what you'll see this Thursday is just the tip of the iceberg. We've only begun working through a much larger accumulation of cameras, photography equipment, and related material, and this week's offering represents only a cross-section of what's still to come. If cameras are your thing, consider this an opportunity to test the waters and get an early look at what promises to be a very interesting run of auctions ahead. Jewelry buyers won't want to miss a beautiful assortment of sterling silver pieces highlighted by a stunning sterling silver and turquoise squash blossom necklace. There is also a wide selection of costume jewelry, watches, and other wearable treasures throughout the sale. Collectors will find a large comic book collection, vintage toys and games, coins, knives, militaria, sports memorabilia, badges, movie memorabilia, advertising, clocks and watches, and an eclectic mix of items from nearly every collecting category imaginable. One of the most eye-catching items in the sale—other than the Leicas (pun intended)—is a giant piece of raw amethyst that has to be seen in person to be appreciated. It joins an auction packed with unusual finds, conversation pieces, and the sort of items that make wandering the preview worthwhile. Decorators and antique enthusiasts will find antique furniture, artwork, Roseville pottery, other art pottery, porcelain, china, glassware, and decorative pieces ranging from elegant to unusual. We also have local history, photographs, ephemera, automotive collectibles, vintage soda fountain items, beer and liquor-related collectibles, lighters, Netsuke carvings, Asian antiques and collectibles, tools, guitars, vinyl records, and much more. As always, some of the most interesting items are the ones that don't fit neatly into a category. One table may feature photography equipment and collectibles, the next antique advertising and memorabilia, and another pottery, records, comics, or historical artifacts. Every week brings a different mix, and this week's auction is no exception. Whether you're a collector searching for the next great addition to your collection, a reseller looking for fresh inventory, a decorator hunting for something unique, or simply someone who enjoys the excitement of a live auction, you'll find plenty to explore this Thursday night. 📅 Preview: Wednesday 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM 🚪 Doors Open: Thursday at 5:00 PM 🔨 Auction Starts: Thursday at 6:00 PM 📍 Andrew Turner Auctions East Bottoms, Kansas City Take a look through the catalog, make your list, and join us Thursday night for another packed auction filled with antiques, collectibles, cameras, jewelry, advertising, pottery, records, memorabilia, and plenty of surprises.
