The meeting closed at 8:15 and was followed by a 120 lot auction ably conducted by Jim Nalbandian. The total take for the auction was $151 with about one third due to the Museum lots. In this auction there were many fine lots of duck stamps, UN items, and covers that evoked almost no interest from the attendees.
