COPAKE, N.Y. — Annual traditions were back in swing at Copake Auction on October 12, when the firm conducted its 32nd Annual Bicycle Auction, which offered 522 lots of antique and vintage bicycles, accessories, collectibles, memorabilia and more. One of the notable highlights of the sale was the collection of Wayne and Kim Batten, which comprised 121 lots, all of which sold. From the Batten collection, a Crypto Geared ordinary high-wheel bicycle led the sale. It raced to an $11,563 finish, with premium, completely beating out its $1,5/2,000 estimate. The barn-fresh condition bicycle had a 44-inch front wheel and retained its original logo. Additional highlights from this sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
