Back in September, the Winston-Salem community mourned the death of local historian and collector Donald Gray Roberson.
Now, the community has a chance to celebrate his legacy and the history of Winston-Salem — while uncovering thousands of pieces of unique local memorabilia, fine antiques, artwork, and rare collectibles — through a special estate auction.
Pieces of local history
Don’s collections span years of local and national events. Take a peek at some of (emphasis on some, as the collection is extensive) the pieces of local history you can find at the auction:
- Jewelry like a 1967 Wake Forest College class ring or 14K gold Forsyth County emblem
- Unique kitchenware, including vintage stoneware jugs from the USS North Carolina, Tennessee, and Bowen Town & Country furniture store; vintage Old Salem coffeepot paperweights; and Moravian Winston-Salem commemorative plates
- An RJ Reynolds Building print
- Piedmont Airlines memorabilia such as collectible items and replica race cars
- NC Pottery like this Bledsoe pottery bowl
