Joe's Older Than Dirt items to be auctioned

Fans of Joe's Older Than Dirt restaurant and bar, which closed recently in Lyndon after operating since 1937, will have a chance to bid on memorabilia from inside Joe's during an online auction starting Tuesday and running through Nov. 23.

Everything But The House (EBTH.com), the "global" estate sale company handling the auction, is promoting it as a chance for everyone from locals to out-of-towners to own a piece of a beloved bar that's been a community fixture for nearly 80 years.

Bids will start at $1. Some of the items being auctioned off include neon beer signs, bar stools and signed sports memorabilia from Joe's, 8131 New La Grange Road.
