Boomerang Auction #54 ( Spring 2024 )

This auction includes 50 items. There are 27 boomerangs. All are right handed. There are 11 books and a dozen unusual collectibles. The boomerangs include an early Herb Smith large hook with an unusual scheme for weights, 3 of my strip laminated MTAs, several Peruvian lap joints and a good mix of USA sport boomerangs. Some of the books are difficult to find in any condition. Several of these are from the Max Hoeben library. Many are signed by the authors with a dedication to Max and/or Tonny. The unusual collectibles include a collection of older Australian coins that Lorin Hawes sent to me to use as weights on my boomerangs. There is a rather unusual German tool for measuring angle of attack and dihedral on MTAs. Max Hoeben's magazine collection is full of publications that I have never seen before and are not on reference lists. There are bull roarers, business cards, hat pins, an early British harmonica made for the German market and a lot more. You need to see the photos on all of these to understand how much stuff there is in this group.
