Mark, heckaofa collection! can't believe how many rifles there are in what must be a rather small auction house. Hope that you chase some of these at least. Thank you for posting the info. Wish I had some money!

Quite a diversity. Same boat here, no money; I spent it all on antique rifles & the rest I wasted,

That's quite the collection the guy had!
Thanks for posting this up. It'll be interesting to see what some of these guns bring in the end.

I can’t bid. I spent half my money on wine, women, and song. The rest of it I spent on foolishness.

Wow! I could go broke fast!

There are more Southern rifles than I’ve seen at auction before. I wonder if Mike Briggs knows whose collection this is. Some interesting rifles from Western PA too. Good luck.

The auction says the longrifles belonged to John Stephen McLachlin of Florida.  I did not know him.

Leland Little Auctions is not a small auction house as referenced above, but is a first class operation located in the historic town of Hillsborough,  N.C. They host a large sporting arts auction several times a year.

I suppose small is relative. They do "$17 million per year and growing" whereas some of the bigger auction houses do more than that in a weekend. So by that comparison, they are a "rather small auction house" compared to the big players.
