In this episode of Donley Auctions Unfiltered, Randy and Susan Donley dive deep into the legendary history of Nipper, the world’s most famous dog, and preview the massive Sports Cards & Memorabilia Auction happening this Saturday, April 18.
Inside This Episode:
The Legend of Nipper: From a small "nipping" stray in Bristol to the face of the Victor Talking Machine Company. We explore the true story of Francis Barraud and the painting that changed advertising history.
The 9-Foot Mystery: We showcase a rare, massive 9ft Victor Talking Machine poster. How did a paper artifact this large survive 100 years, and why was it originally printed?
The "Nipper" Rarities: A close look at an original 1901 Nipper Smoking Tray, complete with its original bill of sale.
Sports Legends Preview: Ryan joins us to break down the heavy hitters for this Saturday, including a 1997-98 Michael Jordan Championship Film and a Game-Worn Scottie Pippen Jersey.
