Bob Guccione's Strangest Auction Items (PHOTOS)

On Monday, what was left of former Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione's seized mansion was put up for auction in Connecticut.

Braswell Galleries offered 374 lots of the "architectural contents" of Guccione's former residence to bidders, with proceeds going to charity. While the townhouse was famed for its decadence, what ended up at auction was lackluster, if not bizarre.

Check out the photos below for some of the stranger items for sale:

vanessa was photographed doing gymnastics in black and white freeze frame (sans a leotard), ala the wide world of sports. hardly worth me going out to buy it.

Gee, how shameful of a man to out a woman who willingly posed nude? Please, get your priorities correct.

[wm1066]

She didn't pose nude for Penthouse and she didn't get paid by Penthouse, but she sure had her career harmed by Penthouse. Please get YOUR priorities correct! I don't like it when men harm women for their own monetary gain.

After he outed Vanesa Williams with those nude photo's I stopped buying Penthouse, haven't bought one since. I thought he was a low life for doing that, and I didn't trust his product after that.

I have all those things in my house too. Of course, I am an old lady.

Each item brings the following thought to mind:
I wonder how many naked girls were all over that item (LOL)

Man's got money problems...

[sackadjust]

Damn, and I thought my garage sale sucked!

Why's this news? So, a publisher of an adult magazine is supposed to spend every minute of his day going over magazine photos? Oh, who am I kidding? Of course he is!

Looks like Bob's happy place involved some childhood memories.

i'm wondering what happened to my paper mache polychromed fish

What's so strange about this stuff? Most of them are just antiques.

[praxitas]

my thought exactly. hardbound poetry books, whate tooth carving? whats strange about those?

[joeyc]

The only thing a little odd was the marble commode. Most of that stuff is just standard architectural and collectibles. It's only "bizarre" if you have been living in a cardboard box your whole life and have never attended an auction, lol.

Bob is a modern american hero - Penthouse shows women in their best. Bob is a great man.

Hey, that lionel on the left is more like '78, not 55 ;)

More money than taste. C'mon, a marble toilet?

Porcelain chafes him something fierce.
