June 9, 2017 by Worldwide Auctioneers
Auburn, Indiana. June 8, 2017. Slated to cross the block at Worldwide Auctioneers inaugural Pacific Grove Auction out on the Monterey Peninsula this August is a remarkable offering of ten significant motorcycles from the collection of renowned motorcycle authority, Allen Smith. 'We're delighted to have been entrusted with the sale of this tightly focused and expertly-curated collection of two-wheeled legends, assembled over the years by a true enthusiast,' said John Kruse, Managing Partner & Auctioneer. 'The Allen Smith Collection includes some of the most significant early American motorcycles, as well as icons from pre-and post-war Britain, all offered for sale entirely without reserve.'
Included in the collection is an historic and award winning 1903 Indian Camelback, a museum worthy example of the world's fastest motorcycle for 1903 and the first Indian chain-drive production model, stunningly restored by vintage motorcycle expert Bradford Wilmarth. Another recipient of an outstanding Bradford Wilmarth restoration and one of the era's fastest motorcycles with inline 'four'-power, is a 1914 Henderson Model C Four, once again offered entirely without reserve. One of fewer than 500 produced in all and an early example of America's first four-cylinder motorcycles, a singular 1910 Pierce Four will also go under the hammer.
Among the iconic British motorcycles in the sale are a striking, impeccably documented and authentic, unrestored ex-Steve Klein 1939 Brough Superior SS80 and a muscular 1954 Ariel Square Four Mark II, restored by noted marque expert Chuck Walton. The entire collection can be viewed online at worldwideauctioneers.com and further information is available by calling 1.260.925.6789 or emailing Worldwide's specialists at info@worldwideauctioneers.com
