Lead The Lectern of David L. Barber (Historic)
Description
This is actually not a lectern, but a historic dryer from the basement of the Livingston Hotel (built 1910). It was originally used to dry the clothing of patrons until the Sulphur Springs, Arkansas tourism economy took a nosedive. It rested there through the ages, belonging to a colony of religious doomsday preppers (Shiloh) and was used only for hiding drugs from police dogs in training. While Shiloh was preparing to sell the property, they grew weary of disposing of thousands of cans of expired nitrogen-packed doomsday food, a little at a time. I offered to remove the food from the property in exchange for the dryer, thinking it would be perfect to raise hogs with. This was about 10 years and a few failed relationships ago, and I never got around to raising hogs. It is not in working condition, but in my eyes, it resembles in both form and function Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sander's $19,000 lectern. That's what inspired me to use it as such, but I will part with it if it brings $19,000 dollars. I would like to see it bring $250,000, the amount of state aid granted to NWA disaster relief by our governor, also equivalent to 13.16 of her lecterns. All funds from this sale (and entire auction) will be donated to disaster relief in District 12 (it will be a nonprofit). Alice Walton, please purchase it and put it in your museum to symbolize the political absurdity and neighborly love typical of Arkansas for generations.
