Thousands of antiques, relics and collectibles will be auctioned off May 9 at the Aguilar Museum, located at 137 East Main Street, Aguilar, Colo.

Aguilar is located 50 miles south of Pueblo, off the I-25 (Exit 34 from the north, Exit 30 from the south).

The auction is being conducted by Jim Hoobler Auction Co. & Associates. Absentee bids will be accepted, and should be directed, in writing, to the auctioneer at 701 Walsen Ave., P.O. Box 1283, Walsenburg, CO 81089.  Bids will be taken by fax until 5 p.m. on May 8 at (719) 738-3268. Payment must be arranged prior to acceptance of bid. Telephone Hoobler at his office, (719) 738-1732, or his home, at (719) 742-5496.

The event will start at 9 a.m. Two auction rings will be run through most of the day.

 
 
 
Pictured at the Aguilar Museum, prior to the packing of items in boxes in preparation for the auction, is longtime collector Billy Gamble, former owner of the museum.

Jo-Ann W. Grace, the current owner, said that all items will be sold, other than those set aside for inclusion in a new museum/general store she will open in the building. It will capture the flavor of the early 1900s “Golden Rule" Store which originally occupied the premises, Grace said.

That Golden Rule Store was the second one in Colorado. The chain grew and came to take on the name of its founder, J.C. Penney.

Grace said she will make a present of one of the items listed for auction — a silver trophy awarded in 1932 to Sibyl Furlow as Trinidad’s Most Beautiful Girl — if Furlow or any child or sibling of hers shows up for the auction with proof of identity.
