"Steve Craig left one of the city’s more unusual collections when he died in his sleep in one of Tacoma’s more unusual homes."

That's what C.R. Roberts writes in a story about the upcoming auction of Craig's stuff. And he had a lot of stuff.

Alan Gorsuch of Sanford & Son has been organizing the collection, which includes:

• An embalming table
• A dentist’s station featuring chair with spit bowl, drill and tools
• An arm and a leg (from a human skeleton)
• Life-size “birthing doll” used by medical students
• Badges, plates, tickets, photo books
• Pinball machines
• Shuffleboard game
• Juke boxes
• Complete soda fountain
• Tiki bar
• Pornography of a sort not spoken of in family newspapers

So if you want a piece of that, here are the details:

Where: 715 Court C, Opera Alley, downtown Tacoma
When: Monday and April 28; preview 9 to 10 a.m. both days; auction begins at 10 a.m. Auctioneers say a third auction will likely be needed; time, date and location to be determined.
Information: Sanford & Son Antiques & Auctions, 253-272-0334
