Jack Palance farm items auction
Published October 6th, 2006
Actor Jack Palance has had a long and distinguished career on stage and in Hollywood, particularly in he-man roles, such as the one in 1991’s City Slickers that won him a best supporting-actor Oscar. But he never forgot his Pennsylvania roots, maintaining a historic farm near Hazleton.
For the last few years, Palance has lived on a ranch in Southern California. He will complete the disengagement next week, when the contents of Holly-Brooke Farm, as he called it, are liquidated at a three-day auction Oct. 12-14 by Keystone State Auctioneers Inc. The status of the farm itself is unclear, Keystone State president Jim Chamberlin said this week.
The property’s contents consist of more than 3,000 items, which will be broken down into about 1,800 lots to be sold at sessions beginning at 9 a.m. at the farm, in the Hazleton suburb of Drums. The auction also will be conducted online. A complete, mostly illustrated catalog where bids can be left (but that does not offer presale estimates) can be found at www.keystoneauctioneers.com
or www.JackPalanceCollection.com.
