SPECIAL MINERAL COLLECTION AUCTION - The Bob Reynolds collection #2 - ends June 17, 2021

We have been excited to release more classics and superb California location pieces as a group from this collection in a series of dedicated auction sets highlighting the incredible fun of seeing such a diversity of locations and historical pieces, that we have found in the collection of noted California collector, Bob Reynolds. It is an honor to handle his wonderful and  diverse collection, and to share this with the world. In addition to being a superlative field collector, he  was the curator of the San Bernardino Museum of Natural History and had special access and opportunity to field collect. Look for more special auctions later in 2021, as well as more of this style of unusual and aesthetic old material in our regular and weekly auctions, over the next 2-3 years.
