DALLAS — It’s an auction of just about 400 of legendary Texas author Larry McMurtry’s personal belongings from Archer City and it promises to be no ordinary estate sale.
Fans can bid on one or more of McMurtry’s 14 typewriters, a large collection of animal skulls, a Steinway grand piano, a four-poster bed, his writing desk and chair, a 1901 Colt .45 pistol, Hollywood memorabilia and two pairs of cowboy boots, including one patched with electrical tape.
Vogt Auction Galleries in San Antonio is planning the auction for 1 p.m. on May 29 with bids to be accepted in person and through an online simulcast. Thousands are expected to either bid or check out McMurtry’s eclectic collections.
