AMT Auction Marketing has been contracted to conduct the online auctions for the Capehart Collection Museum, located in Corsicana, Texas.

 Since 1982, one of the largest privately held Western Electric Telecom collections will be publicly auctioned. Retired Western Electric employee Don Capehart and wife, Rita Capehart, spent many years crisscrossing the United States hunting items from turn of the century early 20th century. Such items include switchboards, phone booths, telephones, complete systems, test equipment, world war items, Vietnam, 1920 motion-picture sound system, huge display of smaller collectibles and more.
