WebWilson com Presents 50th Antique Hardware Auction

Released on = September 28, 2006, 8:52 am

Press Release Author = Web Wilson / WebWilson.com

Industry = Retail

Press Release Summary = Webwilson.com, the online auction company that last year
sold a doorknob for $9200, announces that their 50th antique hardware auction is now
open for bidding on the Internet.

Press Release Body = WebWilson.com, a premiere Internet destination for doorknob
collectors, lovers of old houses, and the restoration trade, announces that an
important online auction of fine antique builders' hardware is now open for bidding.

This auction may or may not produce a record-setting doorknob price but there is
some very high end collector material being offered to the highest bidder. Among the
top lots are a very rare buffalo knob, probably from the Kansas State Supreme Court
Building, a dramatically styled U.S. Treasury knob and ornate back plate marked
Russell and Erwin and dated 1878, a rare "moon and star" bin pull from an Odd
Fellows Lodge, a door lever cast as the leg of a Gay 90s dance hall lady, and a
bronze frog paperweight from Reading Hardware.

WebWilson.com produced their first antique hardware auction in 1995 and from the
start they have built a reputation for quality, integrity, and record setting
prices. They sold the first "doggie" door knob for $3600 in 1996, and a few years
later, sold a rare variation of the doggie design for more than $8000.

When the Internet became accessible WebWilson.com was among the first to produce
online auctions using their own web site and bidding software. Last year they worked
with a group of professional antiques dealers to launch AntiquesYes.com, a vetted on
line auction site with many custom features such as anonymous bidders and an
extended bidding option. The WebWilson.com web site also includes a virtual museum
and library and is considered the premiere Internet destination for all those
seeking to learn about and to purchase antique builders' hardware.

The WebWilson.com 50th Antique Hardware Auction is now open for bidding and will
begin closing on Sunday, October 1st, beginning at 9pm. Lots close at one minute
intervals and the AntiquesYes.com software allows for tracking favorites, several
bidding options, and no hidden reserves.
