Schvartzer's Super Sale

When Sammy Davis Jr. died, in 1990, his finances, it turned out, weren’t as well ordered as his closets (he owed more than five million dollars to the I.R.S.), and his things were auctioned off. One object from the sale is about to be put on the block again. It is a sterling-silver menorah that Davis received as a gift from a Jewish women’s philanthropic organization in 1965. Davis converted to Judaism after he lost his left eye in a car accident, in 1954; he used jokes to defuse people’s skepticism, but he was serious about his faith. The menorah will be sold next month at an auction of Jewish antiques, held by the dealer Jonathan Greenstein. The bidding will start at ten thousand dollars.
