INTERNET BIDDING FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE

When we say Out of This World, we mean it—this remarkable collection spans the vastness of the cosmos to the tiniest wonders of the microscopic world. The late Donald McCray was a man of endless curiosity and craftsmanship, and his passions shine through in this fascinating, wide-ranging assortment.

There is an impressive selection of high-end telescopes and precision accessories, perfect for the dedicated stargazer. Shifting focus to a smaller scale, the collection also features fine microscopes, including exquisite antique brass instruments by renowned London makers such as J. Swift & Sons.

Mr. McCray’s fascination with natural history is evident in his extensive fossil collection—featuring orthoceras plates, ammonite shells, fish fossil slabs, and even massive megalodon teeth that testify to the ancient mysteries of our planet.

Art lovers will discover treasures as well, including original works by Botetourt County artist Mark R. Woodie and a handcrafted dulcimer—a one-of-a-kind creation by the celebrated Appalachian fiddle artist Audrey Hash Ham.

Mr. McCray’s creativity didn’t stop there. His woodshop tools, art supplies, easels, and airbrush compressors reveal a man equally inspired by craftsmanship and design.

And then there are the vehicles! This collection includes a beautifully maintained 1930 Ford Model A Pickup, a hard-top Mercedes convertible, and a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy.

This is truly a collection that reflects a life lived with passion, curiosity, and craftsmanship. Happy Bidding!
