You can own a little bit of Johnny Cash’s legacy during “Rock the Auction”, offered by Alexander Autographs on September 30th and October 1st. “Rock the Auction” is available for online bidding exclusively through Artfact Live! and is presented in conjunction with Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. This extraordinary auction offers over 700 lots from Rock and Roll legends such as Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, Don Henley, Prince and many others. Original items offered in the sale include documents, musical instruments, personal clothing, promotional materials, albums and more. Benefiting VH1’s Save the Music Foundation, this is an auction for any rock and roll enthusiast or pop culture collector.
The top lot of day one is lot 249, a custom-made walking cane belonging to Johnny Cash. As Cash’s health began to decline in the 1990’s he came to require the use of a cane. This is an intricately carved wooden walking cane with an owl perched at the top and a rattlesnake wrapped around the base. First sold in 2004 at Sotheby’s Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash estate sale, the cane is now available starting at $10,000.
You can also bid on Johnny Cash's Honorary Dodge City Marshal's Badge. Johnny Cash was presented with this six-pointed Dodge City Marshal's badge engraved with his name during a concert tour stop in Dodge City, Kansas, on Mar. 16, 1988. At the same ceremony, Cash was also named an "honorary citizen" of Dodge City. Incidentally, Cash was in good company, as legendary lawmen, Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson were former marshals of Dodge City. In 1996 Cash released his version of the 1962 Hank Snow hit, "I've Been Everywhere," in which Dodge City is included in the final stanza among the 91 places mentioned: "...Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity, I've been everywhere, man..." The badge was amongst items from the Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash estate sale, held at Sotheby's in September 2004.
