bigstickbonzo Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I didn't really know where to stick this, but I thought it was pretty cool so I'm posting it. For the die-hard collector! The Autograph Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazedjeffy Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 They're all coming out of the woodwork to sell a bow used by JP. First there was John Vogel (Showco crew) And Steve Jander (Laser tech) http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/Auction_Item.asp?Auction_ID=46857 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sems Fir Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Very cool, too bad I don't have nine grand lying around. The John Vogel Ebay auction was in 2001. I saved most of the images which the links can be seen on R-O and on FBO and printed off the auction description. Here's links to the auction description and certificate of authenticity. I scanned in four pages. I have eliminated his email address and phone number for his privacy. I did not scan in the images he provided from the tour itinerary books. http://www.behindthetoys.com/images/archive/rob/Scan1J.JPG http://www.behindthetoys.com/images/archive/rob/Scan2J.JPG http://www.behindthetoys.com/images/archive/rob/Scan3J.JPG http://www.behindthetoys.com/images/archive/rob/Scan4J.JPG John states in the description that he has many Bonham sticks, a guitar pick from Page and a harmonica and tambourine from Plant.

DAS Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm a huge fan but I think you've gone insane when your willing to pay that much just because someone touched it. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what ya mean there... As much as I love him and his playing I probably wouldn't go to such extremes. However I have my own violin bow for playing guitar so all is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudslider Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I remember seeing this for sale on EBAY several years ago for far less. Mr. Vogel, in "his" authenticity letter says he got it from Jimmys guitar tech, Raymond. Peculiar no last name is mentioned in this "official" document. Raymond Thomas was employed by Zeppelin as a guitar tech from 75-79. Raymond Thomas (below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super slinky Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 i have the original vogel auction printed out, he wanted $30,000 for it at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I remember, that back in '75 (or was it '77) that Johnny Carson held up a bow on his show and said that it was part of a Charity Aution, and that it was used by the rock band guitarist Jimmy Page at a recent LA concert. I thought that was cool to hear Johnny Carson mention the name Jimmy Page on National Television. Of all the Zeppelin artifacts that I would like to have, a used violin bow would be at the top of the list. But, at those prices, that is a fantasy, for me.

Mudslider Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 i have the original vogel auction printed out, he wanted $30,000 for it at first. Yes, I meant to say far more, not far less! Thx for the correction. Bottom line is he's going to have a hard time convincing anyone its legit, Not saying he's a fraud, but its just the whole collectible market is saturated with fakes, especially with autographs.

I agree that having one of his bows would be having a piece of history. Way too rich for my blood though. I wonder if Jimmy would sell them on his website...he would see ££($$) in his eyes.

I wonder if Jimmy would sell them on his website...he would see ££($$) in his eyes. Just think, back in the 70's, if we'd had the internet, and, smart phones, and e-bay, after each show, the band could have put up the bow used the night before with a certificate of authenticity, up for auction on e-bay......

Texas Melanie Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Do you know what he did with them after each show? Can you imagine if he had a handful of them and put them up for auction now? How much he would ask for each one? Or better yet, gather the hard core collectors together in one room and have them fist fight over them and have it be a paid per view event. That might be fun to watch. ;-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedjeffy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Vogel can't do much now as he is deceased, however I know what you're getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I get what ya mean there... As much as I love him and his playing I probably wouldn't go to such extremes. However I have my own violin bow for playing guitar so all is good I've though of getting a bow for my guitar. It looks like Jimmy tears them up really bad when he plays them. Is that the case in your experience? How long do they last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
