Our final offering from the collection of Ricky Jay will be a collection of curious characters; an anomalous auction of extraordinary objects advertising learned pigs, fireproof women, and so much more. Crossing the block will be hundreds of artifacts gathered by Mr. Jay over a lifetime spent in the pursuit of the unusual, the obscure, and the magical.

From arcade games of yesteryear to vintage vending machines, slot machines, and trade stimulators, this sale will feature coin-operated machines of all types. Complementing these mechanical marvels will be a host of vintage signs, and rare advertising objects from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Ephemera, books, posters, and memorabilia from the movements that changed history - and the individuals that made those movements happen - will be the hallmarks of this auction. Also featured will be a range of memorabilia from arguably the most famous band of the era, The Grateful Dead, including posters, apparel, ephemera, and an enormous archive of show tapes.

The singular focus of Richard Harris's collection was the macabre. This October, Potter & Potter will bring to market a range of rarities from his art collection, a singular gathering of works (textiles, paintings, sculptures, posters, drawings) that, while broad in form, were focused on a topic no one has yet been able to escape.
