The weekend of April 12-13 the upstate New York country auction firm Copake Auction Inc. will conduct their 28th Annual Bicycle & Automobilia Auction. According to owner Mike Fallon, “In the past the antique and classic bicycle auction and transportation sales were separate. We decided to combine them into one auction because there is such a crossover market.” The catalogued sale will feature bicycle, automobile and transportation related memorabilia, collectibles, signs, art, posters, parts and accessories, ephemera as well as high wheels, hard tire safeties, cushion tires safeties, pneumatic safeties, balloon tire, light weight, middle weight and muscle bicycles.
