Saturday, two 1808 British flint locks sold at an estate sale in the LARGE (pop. 6600) town of Reeds Spring MO. The auctioneer announced that the owner of Bass Pro Shops ( John Morris ) had left a sealed bid. His bid was (
)successful.
After the sale, I asked one of the auctioneers how high Morris was willing to go,
( $46,000 - on the pair. )
*They will be on display either at Bass Pro in Springfield or Big Cedar Lodge, near Branson MO.
