MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. — An online auction is set to showcase a diverse array of rare estate collections at Bodnar’s Auction Sales on July 10, featuring coveted items such as A Griswold cast iron, primitives, shortwave radios, vintage advertising memorabilia and a complete collection of every issue of Playboy magazine ever published.

The history of Griswold cast iron dates back to the late Nineteenth Century, when the Griswold Manufacturing Company revolutionized the cookware industry with its high-quality cast iron products. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship and durability, Griswold pieces have become highly sought-after by collectors worldwide. This sale will feature more than 75 pieces with many rare pans.

As for Playboy magazine, it has been an iconic cultural phenomenon since its inception in 1953. Founded by Hugh Hefner, Playboy has featured groundbreaking articles, interviews with notable figures and, of course, its famous centerfolds. Owning a complete collection of Playboy magazines offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of popular culture over the decades. You can bid on this first issue featuring Marilyn Monroe to the last issue in 2019.

A single-owner collection of shortwave radio items will also be offered. Shortwave radio, a remarkable technology that has captivated audiences around the globe, has a rich and storied history. Developed in the early Twentieth Century, shortwave radio revolutionized long-distance communication by enabling transmissions to travel vast distances using high-frequency radio waves.

During the early days of shortwave radio, it quickly became a vital tool for international broadcasting, allowing nations to share news, music, culture and information across borders. Shortwave radio played a crucial role during times of war and conflict, serving as a lifeline for communication and diplomacy. This collection was taken from a home where the collector was using the equipment for the past 50 years.

The online auction will kick off with all items starting at just $10, and there are no reserves set, providing an exciting opportunity for bidders to acquire these unique treasures.

The auction starts at 11 am on July 10, and prebids are now available at www.bodnarsauction.com
