A-1 AUCTION
ORLANDO, FL
Sale March 25

ORLANDO, FL - The sixth and final sale featuring items from the estate of Mike and
Betty Seflik will finally settle the estate of the Flagler County, FL couple. Mrs.
Steflik died in November 2004.

The last sale will concentrate on the personal collection, consisting of 354 lots
with no additions, of African and Oceanic artifacts accumulated by the Sefliks in
the 1960s and 1970s with emphasis on ceremonial masks and ancestral figures. The
inventory will feature tribal and ceremonial masks, beaded and ivory jewelry, carved
statuary, furniture, basketry, a huge collection of Venetian Chevron trading beads
from West Africa and the Congo and important staffs and scepters from eastern,
southern and western Africa as well as from Sumatra. One of these items is a
magician's prestige staff from north Sumatra that is expected to sell in the low
five figure range but there are rare and important examples throughout this sale
that will please and excite bidders in all categories.

Doug White, owner of A-1 Auction, has had the inventory skillfully and carefully
cataloged and appraised by a licensed appraiser and feels this may be a once in a
lifetime opportunity to acquire some of these African and Oceanic articles that are
no longer being made and may soon become unavailable due to international events.
Cultures represented in the sale include the Bobo, Masai, Zulu, Baule, Yoruba,
Senufo, Chokwe, Dan, Luba, Ashanti, Bamana and Dogon among many others.

The sale will be conducted, without reserve, at 12:00PM March 25 at the Maitland
Civic Center, 621 S. Maitland Ave. in Maitland, FL just north of Orlando. The Civic
Center has seating for 275 and reserved seats can be secured by phone or email.
Absentee and phone bids are welcome. The sale will also be conducted live online
through the facilities of Proxibid. Details for registration for the online sale can
