At the Salt Palace Convention Center, ROADSHOW appraisers hit a mother lode of precious objects, including a set of clubs once owned by Utah golf legend George "Gix" Von Elm, who won the U.S. Open Amateur in 1926; a set of beautiful 18th-century Chinese white jade carvings; and a pair of rare documents: a Mormon advertisement on textile and a copy of Brigham Young's Invasion Proclamation - both issued in 1857, during hostilities between the Mormons in Utah and the U.S. government - valued at, $10,000 to $15,000.
This direct descendant of a prominent 19th-century Mormon family proudly displays two rare pieces of Utah history passed down from his great-grandfather: a Mormon textile advertisement for military supplies and Brigham Young's Invasion Proclamation of 1857.
