Texas-based Igavel Auctions will launch a month-long sale of Anthony Bourdain’s most valued possessions.

Highlights of the sale include a vintage U.S. Navy jacket, Michelin Man sculpture, the original manuscript of Bourdain’s ‘A Bone in the Throat,’ an oil on canvas painting entitled ‘Cristine and Me as Still-Life’ by Canadian artist Brad Phillips, as well as custom Bob Kramer steel and meteorite chef’s knife estimated to sell upwards of $6,000 USD. “The auction will continue Anthony Bourdain’s interest in education via the Anthony Bourdain Legacy Scholarship at The Culinary Institute of America, his alma mater. The donations from the sale, equal to 40 percent of the hammer price, will be made by the Bourdain family,” said the auction house.
The auction will take place through October 9-30. All of the items in the sale will be available for online preview starting October 2 at Igavel Auctions’ website.
