Hi Gang,  Don't forget the upcoming Baldwin Collection auction in South
Carolina.  I received confirmation today from the auctioneer Bob Long,
that all names previously sent to me (and forwarded) will receive a
brochure about the June 21-22 auction soon.

A three-page ad will also appear in the May-June issue of the MBSI
Bulletin.  However, it appears that to be really informed, you will
need to purchase one of their full catalogs costing $10 each.  They
are now available and I have already ordered (but not received) mine.

I will not be assisting the auction house as I had offered.  Apparently
they have sufficient local expertise to handle any music box questions.
Since I am from South Carolina, I find that very surprising.

Many folks have asked me to repeat the information concerning the
auction.  I suggest you contact the auction house directly, as follows,
if you have any further interest:
