DAN DENNIS April 18, 1945 - September 16, 2011 Dan Dennis passed away unexpectedly on a Friday night, after loading his truck for the Springfield show and grilling steaks for he and his beloved wife, Vicki. We have a feeling that Dan would have said that he passed the way he had always hoped - doing the thing he loved, with the person he loved. We can’t remember an auction that Dan missed, and there is no doubt that his friends at Garth’s will miss his friendly smile and great stories. While we are proud to handle fine examples from Dan and Vicki’s collection, the moment is bittersweet, as we mourn the loss of a dear friend.

CONDITION REPORTS: Absentee bidders should call for an updated condition report. This report supersedes the catalog description. Our staff will take a list of the items you would like examined and give you a time to call back for a detailed report. Photographs are also available for a nominal fee.

ABSENTEE BIDS: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. accepts absentee bids including internet bids. These bids are given to an experienced bidder to execute competitively. All absentee items are purchased as inexpensively as possible.
