The Auction, Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia


In a time without ebay and other internet auction sites, auctions were open air events featuring a fast-talking, charismatic front man who sold goods to the general public. This auctioneer is affable, charismatic, and a wonderful showman who gathered quite a crowd as he sold items from Greenhow's store on the commons in the shadow of the courthouse in Colonial Williamsburg.
