★ FEATURED HISTORICAL AUCTION ITEM ★
Documented Ma Barker Gang Rocking Chair
An extraordinary piece of Ozarks crime history. According to the accompanying notarized affidavit and supporting statement of authenticity, this rocking chair was purchased by William Emory Coble at the Oregon County Sheriff's Auction in Alton, Missouri, where the property was represented as the personal property of Arizona Clark Barker ("Ma Barker") following the Barker-Karpis Gang's occupation of a cabin west of Thayer, Missouri. The chair was later purchased by Billy Joe Lovelace at Gary Sexton's Auction on April 8, 1995, and is now being offered from the Lovelace Living Estate.
(Complete provenance documents and historical information will be available for inspection online and at the auction. Unique piece of outlaw history!)
