VCA Auction in Las Vegas Brings Strong Prices

Victorian Casino Antiques held its Fall auction on October 14-16.  An enthusiastic crowd was on hand for all 3 days, including a non-catalogued session held on Friday morning, where 250 lots were sold.
According to Peter Sidlow, President of Victorian Casino Antiques, prices were very strong, especially on the mid-range ($1,000 - $5,000) coin operated items.  As usual, good advertising and fine condition brings the highest prices, while the more common “filler items” bring current market values.
